Lou Dobbs’ dream comes true?

I swear you can’t make this stuff up:

“Two executives at a company that once helped build a fence to keep illegal immigrants from crossing the Mexican border were sentenced Wednesday to six months of home confinement for hiring undocumented workers.”

Yes ladies and gentlemen you read that right. A company hired to build a fence keeping illegal immigrants out of the U.S. was fined for hiring illegal immigrants to build the fence in the first place.

Somewhere in Mexico City President Felipe Calderon is having a hearty chuckle over this.
