A Pennsylvania-based company has agreed to pay $95 million in criminal fines for illegally employing undocumented immigrants. The judgment is the largest of its kind in U.S. history, federal prosecutors said.

Asplundh Tree Expert, based in Willow Grove and described by federal officials as one of the largest privately-held companies in the country, pleaded guilty Thursday in federal court in Philadelphia, agreeing to an $80 million criminal forfeiture money judgment and a $15 million civil payment.

It won't take many of these to change this type of criminal behavior.

It won't take many of these to change this type of criminal behavior.

As somebody once said, "you bet your sweet bippy."

Open border cheap labor Republicans often say, don't turn the businessman into an immigration enforcer. Don't expect them to navigate the subject of fraudulent and forged documents.

But $95 million will perk up their ears, won't it?

A good start.  More, please.

Interesting, this family-owned company has been in business almost 90 years and the family that owns it is one of the richest in America but the company is not rated by the BBB. https://www.bbb.org/centralohio/business-reviews/tree-service/asplundh-tree-expert-co-in-millersport-oh-6000219
