GOI: This story is the ultimate irony and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off. A southern California fence building company that received contracts to build portions of a border fence between the U.S. and Mexico was hiring illegal immigrants!!SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14 (AP) — A Southern California fence-building company and two executives pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and agreed to pay a combined fine of $5 million, the government’s latest coup in a crackdown on businesses.
Golden State Fence, which currently employs 750 people, saw sales soar to $150 million in 2004 from $60 million in 1998, according to a biography of Mr. Kay provided by the company. Among its projects was construction of part of a 14-mile border fence in San Diego in the late 1990s.

Damn! Another perfectly good irony meter down the tubes! ;-)
Is anybody surprised by this?
Classic irony. Reminds me of the thing that parents tell kids, do as I say, not as I do.
This is the end of satire as we know it.
TPM:
Indeed. Money trumps all in America it seems.
Kvatch:
Good old capitalist, red, white and blue irony.
Brent:
Sadly, no.
PoP:
Exactly. That's pretty much the slogan of the GOP. At least most of the time it seems.
Shrimplate:
Such a terrible waste.
Thanks for the belly laugh. Well done, James.
PT:
You're welcome. Glad to provide a chuckle. We live in such an bizarre time in history.
