No surprise. However, we now see the ugly sweat shop mentality of those involved in the illegal immigration issues. They charge high fees to get them here and then make them slave labor. We are only beginning to see the tip of the iceberg on this one. There are many more companies in Ohio that are involved. Whatcha gonna do when they come for you… bad boys?
Plain Dealer: Owners and managers of a popular Mexican restaurant in Mentor smuggled workers north from Mexico, charged them high fees for the crossing and demanded they work long hours to pay off the debt, according to federal authorities.
Immigration agents and federal prosecutors say they broke up a smuggling ring that exploited illegal immigrants when they descended on Jalapeno Loco and six other Mexican restaurants in five states Wednesday morning.
Agents arrested two managers of Jalapeno Loco, which commands a prominent corner of East Points shopping plaza on Mentor Avenue and bills itself an “Authentic Mexican Restaurant.” They also took into custody eight restaurant workers - six men and two women - believed to be in the country illegally.
