Checking on immigrants’ paperwork

Checking on immigrants’ paperwork. Reston, Virginia-based SI International has won a contract worth up to $20.5 million to review the bonds posted for illegal immigrants at DHS immigration and customs enforcement offices. The contract for the government contractor follows a $225 million win last month to maintain petitions and applications for the agency’s immigration and citizenship offices in Dallas and Lincoln, Nebraska. Under the most recent contract for six months with four one-year options, SI International (NASDAQ: SINT) will employ “bond control specialists” to the agency to review bond actions and either update or settle them. Suspected illegal immigrants are held in jail under bonds that carry various prices. In its most recent earnings release, SI International had fiscal second-quarter revenue of $118.8 million, down from $119.2 million in the same quarter a year ago. Sales from government contracts, which account for about 99 percent of the company’s business, fell to $117 million from $117.2 million.
