I’m sure this upstanding businessman would have been one of the “good character” illegals to receive amnesty.

A Pakistani citizen was sentenced today to 37 months in prison for using his Philadelphia-based money transfer business to send more than $2 million to a bank in a Taliban-controlled territory in Pakistan, federal prosecutors said.
Habib Khan, 49, who has lived in the United States illegally for the last five years, transferred the money to a bank in Swat region where his brothers distributed the funds.
Prosecutors said it was unlikely that Khan could have dispensed the millions of dollars without paying a tribute or a bribe to Taliban officials. In addition, Khan never obtained a license to operate the business and never registered this business with the federal government, as required by law.
