Irony

A company that built a fence to keep illegal aliens out has pleaded guilty to hiring illegal aliens. Huh?
A Southern California fence-building company and two executives have agreed to plead guilty to knowingly hiring illegal immigrants and pay a combined penalty of $5 million, two people close to the case said Thursday, marking a rare victory for the federal government in prosecuting employers for immigration crimes.
Golden State Fence Company built 6,100 feet of the 15-foot-high fence near the Otay Mesa border crossing in San Diego.

It's not clear whether illegal aliens were involved in building the fence to keep out illegal aliens but we're guessing they were. What irony.
