The State : Fines Set for Hiring Illegals

Share

The Immigration and Naturalization Service said it served notices of substantial fines against two Northern California companies--including a sea urchin processing plant--for the improper hiring of illegal aliens. A fine of $65,000 was assessed against San Francisco Uni Products Inc., a sea urchin processing plant in Ft. Bragg. It was the second largest penalty served in the region, said Bill Carter, chief agent of the INS Border Patrol. Another notice of intent to fine was served against Casa Orozco, a Mexican restaurant in Livermore, assessing the eatery $19,250 for failure to prepare proper forms for workers.
