They didn’t make him a citizen, just officially recognized that he’s here.

Maybe it’s just the way the article was written, but the guy just doesn’t seem to understand that when you live here you contribute. He doesn’t even get that he was exploiting this country for 11 years.

not only keep the taxes, but the fines as well.  
then put him in jail for tax evasion.

or, deport him with 1/2 of what is “rightfully” his. then explain  
in english, how nice we are for letting him go home.

$400/month rent = $52,800 for 11 years  
$200/month food = $26,400 for 11 years

Thats $79,200 + $59,000 = $138,200 he made in 11 years

Divided by 11 = 12,563.64 a year.

So anyone making more than $240 a week without being taxed…could save that much. :bloated:

Gee, Maybe he failed to declare it because he was smuggling it out of the country so we wouldn’t perma ban his ass.

well you come into my country illegally. Make money, don’t pay ANY taxes on it, and then expect to just walk over the border with all that money. Yea right. I have to be in a WAR zone to get just my federal and state taxes back, and they still take FICA no matter what. I don’t feel at all bad for this son of a bitch. Take all his money, pay the taxes he owes, and the few pennies left can help pay for all the social services him and his family used while he was here illegally. I don’t feel the least bit bad for this fuck.

Illegal Immigrant. You have no rights. Simple.

Become a citizen of the US, pay taxes, etc, then you are allowed the rights.

I felt bad for a second, then read he didn’t pay taxes, didn’t learn English, and didn’t follow the rules.

Maybe they will use the $59k to put up the Mexican/US fence that keeps out illegal immigrants and encourages them to come in the right way?
