Company that built a border fence pleads guilty to hiring illegal
immigrants

SAN DIEGO (AP) A Southern California fence-building company,
its founder and another executive have pleaded guilty to knowingly
hiring illegal immigrants. They'll pay a combined penalty of five
(m) million dollars.

Prosecutors will ask for sentences of six months, but prison
time is rare in such cases.

The fine, however, is one of the biggest ever imposed in an
immigration case. The company will pay most of it. Founder and
president Mel Kay will forfeit 200-thousand-dollars. Manager
Michael McLaughlin will pay 100-thousand.

The two men admitted hiring at least ten illegal immigrants. The
immigration service has said there were many more. A defense
attorney said: "People slip through the cracks" and that
"mistakes were made."
Among Golden State Fence's projects in recent years was part of
a 14-mile border fence in San Diego.
