The "stars" (shudder) of Housewives of New Jersey pleaded guilty today to multiple fraud charges.  Besides monetary fines, Teresa could spend about two years in prison. Joe could spend around four years in prison AND then get deported.These people are scum and those sentences are going easy on them.  They knew they were guilty, so at least they saved the courts the time and effort of a trial for lenient sentences.http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/teresa-joe-giudice-plead-guilty-fraud-article-1.1710169 4951

I'm the last person to ever excuse someone for a crime. I don't excuse them at all. They're frauds and deserve punishment. However, that's going to be sad if both get prison time and their 4 daughters are just left without parents for a while. 4951

@Katiemcg: This exactly. I think the Courts will jail him and give her either probation or house arrest and volunteer time, due to the young kids.

@ctl74:  I suspect that you are correct.  Teresa will probably get probation but Joe will spend time in the pokey!  Then, there is a good chance that he will get deported.  But if they can prove that he's no longer a problem, they may let him stay in America.  They plead guilty and negotiated the sentences.  With 41 counts against them, and each carrying a possible sentence of 40+ years, and being GUILTY, they decided this was a smarter move.  I would have loved to see them spend 20 years or so in prison.

I read today that he's been here since he was 1. That's not enough time to become a citizen? That truly blows my mind. 4951

Maybe they will stagger the sentences like they did several years ago (can't remember their names) when both parents were convicted of a white collar crime.  One will stay and care for the kids and one will serve time, then switch. 
 
She's always waved her "wealth" in everyone's face and I'm glad she's going to pay for her ill-gotten gains.  She's a mess on that show and is an embarrassment to all of humanity.  4951

Why keep someone from doing the jail time they earned simply because they have young children? By that logic, young single mothers will feel like they can do whatever they want without any consequences. If anything, having young children should be even more incentive to keep out of trouble. 4951

@thegoodwife: If neither parent is American and you immigrate to this country, YOU have to take the steps to be an American citizen.  Apparently, Joe G didn't want to become a citizen, or he was too lazy, or he thought it wouldn't matter.  Shame on him.  He deserves to be deported.

@WskyTngoFxtrt: I disagree - I was specifically talking about THIS case - a case where there are two parents involved and while, yes it was a crime, it was fraud - not murder. I'm also not saying she should get off easy. Staggering the sentences is something I hadn't thought of.I guess I see too much gray while others see straight black and white.

@Retired_Engineer: I know what you are saying and that you're talking about this specific case, but my husband has been here for 11 years and is not a citizen. Granted, he didn't grow up here so I'm sure that influences his thought right now, but he feels like getting a US citizenship means he is denouncing the country he grew up in, served for, and still has family in. I know he is waivering a bit now, considering he has US citizen children, but in the end, it's his right to choose his citizenship. It doesn't make him any less loyal to the US. He works very hard, pays his taxes, goes through extra hoops to do things like getting licenses, etc., and he abides all the laws. The only thing he can't do is vote.

@ctl74:  Your key words are that your husband "abides all the laws".  If he did break the law, he could also be deported. I understand that people here have the right to decide if they WANT American citizenship. In Joe G's case, I mentioned that he might not have wanted American citizenship, but he should have thought of his family while committing 41 counts of fraud and that he could end up being deported.  I feel sorry for his kids, but he should be deported after prison.in addition to jail time, the courts should confiscate all of their money and all properties except their home.

I'm with you - I get what you said! Emoticon And I do agree. I don't think the Courts are going to get much out of them and they filed bankruptcy a year or two ago anyway! 4951

@ctl74: Staggering could be a viable conclusion.

My Father was brought here as a very young child, joined the army when WWll broke out, served & upon being discharged found out he wasn't a citizen. His next step was to become a citizen which he did b/c this was the only country he really ever knew & He was very proud to be an American. Just b/c he became a citizen he didn't renounce his heritage. Just because you're living here & become a citizen doesn't mean you turn your back on your homeland or heritage. 4951
