Yes, this young lady is innocent. As an illegal alien using a stolen SSN, she has done absolutely nothing wrong. When will ICE stop their Gestapo tactics?

Quote:
Marxavi Angel Martinez was a child of small-town North Carolina. She grew up here, in the rolling Piedmont region, and was a high school honor student and cheerleader before settling into a job at the Graham Public Library. At 23, she lived in a tidy white trailer at the Cedar Creek Mobile Home Park with her husband and 16-month-old son.

Her carefully tended life came crashing down in July when she was accused of using a phony Social Security number and lying on her job application.

Jones said that Martinez had "self-identified" her illegal status by using a dead person's Social Security number. After pleading guilty to misuse of a Social Security number, a felony, Martinez was released Aug. 13 on $25,000 bond and placed under house arrest pending deportation hearings.

The problem, said Martinez's lawyer, David B. Smith, it that immigration authorities fail to distinguish between undocumented workers who commit serious crimes and those who live productive, law-abiding lives.

If Martinez truly wanted to be an American-----------she should have done things the right way.

Remember those asinine illegal immigrants 'rights' rallies of 2 years ago? Guess what: the law of unintended consquences is kicking in faster and faster.

Idiots.

Our Mach50 was grumbling about illegals not wanting to be polite little 'lap dogs'----------well, attempting to be mean Pit Bulls (demanding their non existant 'rights') backfired.

Well, her trailer was 'tidy'.....that should completely negate her ssn theft!!

I wonder how long it will be before people who are up on charges of dealing or breaking and entering can use the defense of "sure he was caught with 5 grams of coke, but you should see how neat he keeps his apartment!" After all, if it works for her, it should work for everyone.

Now, now, camping! -- you know we now have two separate laws in this country. Illegals can commit crimes with impunity. Legal citizens go to the slammer. It's only fair. After all, illegals are only trying to seek a better life. Give them a break!

In Texas counter protesters where actually threatened by the police! Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Or in this case inertia and cowardice cause our country to change against its people's will!
