Dr. Oz says he'll fight to end illegal immigration. A business owned by his family, in which he is a shareholder, faced the largest fine in ICE history for hiring undocumented workers.

Asplundh Tree Experts, Co., a business for which Oz is listed as a shareholder on FEC documents, settled with US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement in 2017 after a six-year investigation and audit revealed a systemic effort to hire undocumented workers for their tree-pruning company.

"Asplundh Tree Experts, Co., one of the largest privately-held companies in the United States, headquartered in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, ('Asplundh'), pleaded guilty today to unlawfully employing aliens," an ICE press release regarding the settlement read, "in connection with a scheme in which the highest levels of Asplundh management remained willfully blind while lower level managers hired and rehired employees they knew to be ineligible to work in the United States."

1. I've seen their trucks

Damn. No wonder Oz is so rich.

[Bettie]

5. They were here getting electric lines up

after the Derecho.

The people do good work. Dr. Oz is a quack and a grifter.

13. I've seen their dripping hypocrisy, the MSM has decided to play both siderism until it hurts.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. Yeah. I drove to Florida a couple years ago a month after a hurricane and I saw dozens and dozens...

… of those trucks on the highways heading out of the state. There were a couple gas stations we had to pass by because they were swarmed with Asplundh trucks.

They are going to make a billions off climate change induced disasters.

18. Same here in

Missouri. Oz got rich from quack cures. Also supposed surgeon.
A bit off topic. His daughter (Daphne) has a show on ABC and think she should have to leave that show if she is going to campaign for him.

2. I hoped that Oz would win,

I live among the racist, bigoted Magats, and when they learn that Oz is a Muslim it's Game Over.

Besides Sufism, the mystical Islamic sect, Oz's spiritual practices include transcendental meditation and elements of his wife's Swedenborgian tradition. Explain all of that to a Magat.

Living in N.J. won't get him many votes either.

6. I think you underestimate the deplorables' ability to embrace paradox...nt

[Zambero]

3. Ah, so the Dr. does indeed have a Pennsylvania connection!

A bit ironic in this instance, since the "-sylvania" part of the state's name is in reference to its trees.

4. Would Oz be loyal to America?

Would Oz be loyal to America?

Oz is a voting citizen of two countries.

[Rebl2]

20. He should have

to give up his citizenship from Turkey.

[empedocles]

7. Also paid a huge, record, fine for Oz related business employment practices.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Asplundh is a good company. They do a lot of tree work

For the City of KCMO.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. LOL PECO contracts to them to do tree trimming for their electric lines

PECO = Philadelphia Electric Company (now under Exelon).

[IronLionZion]

10. Probably a limited number of Americans applying for tree trimming jobs

but it's the blatant hypocrisy that should lose him some idiot MAGA voters. His Turkish name and Islamic faith aren't doing him any favors in MAGA land either.

11. Oz's family business got largest fine in ICE history for hiring illegal immigrants.

Link to tweet

...his family business was fined $95,000,000 by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement for illegally hiring thousands of immigrants using fake names. It’s the largest fine in ICE history.

12. i think Dr Oz is delusional

most republicans are...so it seems..

[geardaddy]

14. It's his wife's family who started Asplundh

But he is a shareholder.

Either way, why is it just a fine and not jail time?

[Novara]

15. republican hypocrisy: it's a feature, not a bug

[patphil]

16. This company has been around since 1928, and has over 34K employees.

Given the type of work they do, it's no wonder they hired illegal aliens. Cheap, easy to replace labor that wouldn't cause any troubles on the job.
