A sentence for knowingly hiring ten or more unlawful aliens is remanded for further proceedings to permit the district court to identify in greater detail the grounds for a downward variance, as the present record was insufficient to conduct a meaningful review of whether the district court gave significant weight to any improper or irrelevant factor.
