put these criminal businessmen in jail for 10 years at a pop and the immigration problem will take care of itself "Jury indicts 20 people in immigrant probe By Paul A. Long Post staff reporter A federal grand jury meeting in Covington indicted 20 people Thursday as part of a crackdown on the use of illegal immigrants in the construction industry in Northern Kentucky. Those indicted include four supervisors of Fisher Homes, several contractors who provided labor for the home-building company, and a number of illegal aliens who had previously been deported or used phony identification cards. The indictments say the various defendants not only provided jobs, but also often living arrangements for the illegal workers. Here's a closer look at the nine separate indictments handed up by the grand jury, which met in a special session that lasted late into the afternoon Thursday. The four Fischer Homes supervisors - Douglas Witt, Timothy Copsy, William Allison and William Ring - were indicted in on charges of harboring known illegal immigrants for commercial advantage and private financial gain. Named in a four-count indictment were Robert Pratt, Howard Pratt, Jacqueline Pratt, Josefino Moreno, Francisco Rojo, Jose Trejo-Soto, Ruben Trejo, Alfredo Medina-Mejia and Luciano Salazar. The indictment says Robert Pratt ran Progressive Builders and Quality Construction; Josefino Moreno ran HPF Inc., and Jacqueline Pratt ran HJP Construction. They in turn provided money to Francisco Rojo, Jose Trejo-Soto and Ruben Trejo, Alfredo Medina-Mejia and Luciano Salazar to hire and pay the illegal immigrants. Pratt also provided apartments, the indictment alleges. Francisco Castro-Gonzalez, Juan Acosta-Martinez, and Lorenzo Rojo-Hernandez were charged with possessing forged permanent resident alien cards and having illegally entered the United States. Marco Aguilar-Rodriguez, also known as Marco Aguilar-Rodriquez, and Jaime Diaz Garcia are charged with entering the United States illegally after being deported. Nelson Trejo and Humberto T. Trejo were charged with harboring illegal immigrants by providing them jobs and a place to live. All except Aguilar-Rodriguez and Diaz Garcia face up to 10 years in prison if convicted. The latter two men face up to two years in prison. An affidavit filed by James Bellamy, a special agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, indicated that he and Boone County Sheriff's Department deputies used a subterfuge to get the Fischer supervisors to help in the probe."
