A Maryland seafood company has settled with the Federal Government after news came out that the company hired 89 illegal aliens. As part of the settlement, the company owner, Jamie Harrington III, a resident of Dorchester Md., was sentenced to a single year of probation, given a $15,000 fine, and made to promise to use E-Verify on new hires.
As part of the deal he made with prosecutors, Harrington was cut a massive break - only being charged with a single infraction of unlawful employment of illegal aliens. Captain Phip's Seafood, Harrington's company, was issued additional punishments, including three years of probation and a small fine of $240,000 for felony visa fraud.
The unscrupulous Maryland employer was obviously not too flummoxed by his charges and no-jail-time sentence, even having the gall to ask his probation officer to "allow him to make his usual trips this year to Florida and the Bahamas for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year's holidays," The Washington Times reports.
