“Borough Mayor Steve Lonegan, an outspoken foe of illegal immigration, admits he accidentally hired two men whom authorities say were in the U.S. illegally.

Bogota’s Republican mayor says he enlisted the men last Monday to help assemble political signs in the garage of a vacant home he owns in the borough.

Lonegan told The Record of Bergen County that the men told him they had proper documentation when they approached his taxpayer advocacy organization, Americans for Prosperity, looking for work.”*
