State troopers stopped a van last night on Route 98 in the Town of Batavia for allegedly speeding and found that two people inside were apparently in the country illegally.
Taken into custody were Leodegario Vazquez-Rodriguez, 48, and Francisco Hernandez-Gomez, 24.
Both were charged with unlawfully entering the United States.
Hernandez-Gomez was also charged with seven vehicle and traffic violations.
Vazquez-Rodriguez was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Hernandez-Gomez was placed in Genesee County Jail on the alleged vehicle and traffic violations, awaiting transfer to federal authorities after the local charges have been answered.

I hear all the time that farmers can't operate their farms without illegal labor but then in the same breath I hear that farmers are losing money. If they're losing money, why do I see new tractors and farm machinery all over the place and new dairy barns going up all the time?
I just wish the news reflected what I see all around me. If they're losing so much money year after year how is it that they're still in business? I don't get it.
If you're using illegal labor, you're stealing from everyone including yourself.
