Golden State Fence Company, which built part of the US-Mexico border fence, has been busted for hiring approximately 250 illegal immigrants to build the very own barrier that was meant to keep them out. The firm has agreed to pay $5M in fines and two of their executives could go to prison for it.

How ironic.

Ironic is the fact that Mexicans/Latinos where working in the construction of a fence that is meant to kept the illegal ones out... Goes to show that Latinos are willing to work in what ever field they are told..

Hypocrisy and Necessity.

Hiring illegal immigrants or Mexican nationals (report doesn’t clarify this point) to build a safer America is pure hypocrisy. Made in the USA is suppose to mean a superior product, but this nation can’t even build a border without the help from immigrants, legal or illegal.

As far as the immigrants working on the fence, it is just a case of pure necessity. Let my family go another day without food or work. This isn’t a case that a Latino will do whatever he is told, but the dire situation forces a man to do things that outsiders cannot and will not understand.
