Helped get temporary work visas for his clients in the trucking business
By Bob Priddy
A State Representative from Cape Girardeau has pleaded guilty to federal immigration fraud charges.
The federal prosecutor says Representative Nathan Cooper (R-Cape Girardeau), a lawyer specializing in immigration law, helped get temporary work visas for his clients in the trucking business.
The prosecutor says he was paid at least $50,000 in legal fees from his trucking clients. He admitted creating fake companies that he used to get temporary work visas; writing bogus letters about the immigration status of his clients’ workers, and of buying visas that were illegally transferred to his client’s workers.http://www.missourinet.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=4B4C5A0C-9CCD-077A-2F1EA44901021AE0
