BUCKEYE, Ariz. - A Buckeye business and its owner have been ordered to pay a $30,000 fine for knowingly employing illegal aliens.
Richard Taylor, president and owner of Arizona Trailer Manufacturing, Inc., was sentenced to two years of probation and a $30,000 fine.
Taylor and the business were convicted of engaging in a pattern and practice of knowingly employing illegal aliens.
"This is a unique case because both the owner and the company itself were sentenced and fined for knowingly employing illegal aliens," said U.S. Attorney Dennis K. Burke. "When employers find out that their employees are unauthorized to work in this country, they can't continue employing them. This was an ongoing pattern that we have put to an end."
