(WND)—Businesses across the United States have, at times, hired illegal aliens. Such employment is more common in some job markets, such as vegetable and fruit gardening, construction, and the like. But it’s still not supposed to happen, and three businesses in the Denver area are learning that with a hard lesson.
A report from Denver Channel 7 explains the hiring of workers who do not have permission to take American jobs hurts “law-abiding employers.”
The report explained officials with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed plans to impose $8 million in fines against CCS Denver, PBC Commercial Cleaning Systems and Green Management Denver.
The plans follow audits that found what ICE has categorized as “widespread employment eligibility violations.”
ICE said a fine of $6.1 million is being proposed for CCS Denver for “a 100% substantive violation rate.”
The company’s record allegedly included hiring at least 87 illegal aliens. The fine for PBS Commercial Cleaning is to be $1.6 million for a 74% violation rate and hiring “at least 12 unauthorized workers.”
The fine planned for Green Management Denver is $270,000 for employing 44 undocumented immigrant workers.
In a statement, Steve Cagen, special agent in charge, explained, “The employment of unauthorized workers undermines the integrity of our immigration system and puts law-abiding employers at a disadvantage. These penalties reinforce our commitment to uphold the law and promote a culture of compliance.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
