>>LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A McDonald's Corp. franchisee
>>pleaded guilty on Wednesday to furnishing illegal
>>immigrants with false identities and will pay $1
>>million in fines in one of the federal government's
>>first major crackdowns on illegal labor in the
>>fast-food industry.
>>
>>As efforts to overhaul U.S. immigration law have
>>stalled in Congress, the federal government has
>>stepped up workplace enforcement and has carried out
>>the biggest raids on meat and poultry processing
>>plants in the Midwest.
>>
>>Working on a tip, Immigration and Customs Enforcement
>>agents raided Mack Associates' 11 McDonald's
>>restaurants in the Reno, Nevada, area last September
>>and arrested 58 illegal immigrants, the Department of
>>Justice said in a statement.
>>
>>In federal court in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the
>>company pleaded guilty to two felony offenses --
>>aiding and abetting an alien to remain in the United
>>States and encouraging and inducing an alien's
>>unlawful residence. Two top executives, one former and
>>one current, also pleaded guilty in the case.
>>
>>Executives from the company were not immediately
>>available for comment.
>>
>>The plea agreement details how Mack Associates'
>>management employed individuals they knew were in the
>>country illegally by supplying them with names and
>>Social Security numbers belonging to other
>>individuals, the statement said.
>>
>>"This investigation clearly shows our resolve to
>>pursue those who willfully violate our nation's hiring
>>laws, regardless of their place on the corporate
>>ladder," said Department of Homeland Security
>>Assistant Secretary for ICE Julie L. Myers.
>>
>>An estimated 12 million immigrants, mostly Hispanics,
>>reside illegally in the United States, many of them
>>working in the restaurant, construction and
>>meatpacking industries with false Social Security
>>numbers and documents.
