35. And she actually DID prosecute Golden Gate Fence company
For hiring illegals to build the border fence. And she was going after the folk that were leading that company, not just "prosecuting the illegals" and dumping them across the border. Their statements when she was going after them that "This is why we need a guest worker program" coupled with other aspects of this case is something that Bushco didn't want to see repeated in other immigration cases. They wanted token immigration cases prosecuted in ways to satisfy the xenophobic congress critter types and their constitutencies that really don't do that much to go after employers, who are paying Bushco to allow them to import cheap foreign labor one way or the other.

The Golden Gate Fence Company prosecution didn't fit in the way they wanted immigration cases prosecuted, even though most of the rest of us would have felt it was dealt with appropriately.
