I am just curious-how is he working full-time if he is an illegal alien?
Once again proof that attrition through enforcement works!

Heck they should def. secure our borders, and see what we can do with the rest of the illegals, I propose that the gov' should get certain qualifications for those people and if they can't qualify than they should be deported.
Aside from the insolence demonstrated by the illegal immigrants' 'rights' marches of two years ago---------the biggest strike against the above are their sheer numbers. If we were discussing 100-200K illegals; that would be one thing---------------upwards of 7 million not counting their US born Anchor Babies is not acceptable and the anger by us Americans against them is now too great.

In other words, the government is issuing business licenses to illegal aliens in violation of our laws; or the dad has stolen an identity, or is using fake ID.

How do you think her parents are paying taxes? Given the fact that it is a violation of our immigration laws for an illegal alien to work in this country, if her parents are in fact paying taxes (did you see their tax returns?) they are either using a stolen SSN, or some other fraudulent means for employment.

This girl’s family is no exception, and should not be absolved of their crimes. They all have a sob story to tell. They all have myriad justifications for circumventing our laws. The fact that you consider this girl “nice” changes nothing. I personally know a “nice” drug dealer. However, at the end of the day, he is still a criminal; and I would feel no compassion for him if law enforcement put an end to his lucrative illegal enterprise.

Great analogy. Illegal entry merely serves as the precursor to perpetual criminal activity in order to remain in this country illegally.

Or simply running an illegal business masquerading as a legit one and working under the table across the board.

Many in the housing repair trade were pulling it off.

Talk about paying zero taxes besides sales tax.

Absolutely. They have no regard for any of our laws.

They are astute lawbreakers who are using this country to the max. They enter this country well-versed on how to beat the system. If they were paying their share of taxes, they would not have billions to send back home.

The same can be said for many of the mortgage lenders/banks. Wells Fargo, Bank of the Aliens (aka Bank of America), solicited and granted non-documentation "home loans" to illegal aliens.

As a result, our tax dollars are paying for their bail out. To date 10 banks (and counting) have gone under.

NEW YORK - Integrity Bank of Alpharetta, Ga., on Friday became the 10th U.S. bank to fail so far this year, done in by the very business it was built on — real estate lending.Regions Bank of Birmingham, Ala., is assuming all of Integrity Bank's $974 million in insured and uninsured deposits in 23,000 accounts, and about $34.4 million of the bank's $1.1 billion in assets.
The remainder of Integrity's total assets are being retained by the FDIC. The FDIC said it estimates that Integrity's failure will cost its deposit insurance fund $250 million to $350 million.

It will be interesting to see how many of these crooks are prosecuted. I won't hold my breath though.
