How an Undocumented Immigrant From Mexico Became a Star at Goldman Sachs

You'll be seeing more and more of this as the year goes by.

“’There is still the stigma that what we did is shameful,’
she says.”

Because it was. Yeah, you made good and are living in the American dream, but you took resources that weren’t yours to take (American education, etc.) to get it.

“’I’m tired of being ashamed for pursuing my dream, for climbing up the ladder, and for having success.’”

I’m tired of people who played by the rules getting stepped on by a liar and a cheat like yourself.

Thank you.

Propaganda...here we come. They’re doing the same with NET NEUTRALITY big time right now. Using “fairness” and some BS about NN being used to make sure Internet service providers will be required to remove obstacles to bandwidth for things like video streaming. They don’t mention that its really about controlling it to monitor content and online activities far easier. It will be used to quell dissent and punish offenders. You will see many go to federal prison or special camps set up for them. It will be Germany in the late 30’s through the mid ‘40’s again. I wonder where they will set up Auschwitz II for the “teabaggers”...

As they cherry-pick the best and brightest of our illegal aliens?

Arce, who turns 32 in March, owed her bright career on Wall Street to fake papers bought for a few hundred dollars in a stranger’s living room in Texas. Over seven years at Goldman Sachs, she rose from intern to analyst, associate, then vice president, later becoming a director at Merrill Lynch. When her father died in Taxco hours after the 2007 phone call, she didn’t leave to see her family because with her bogus papers she couldn’t have come back.

She skipped her dad's funeral because she was an illegal alien. At least she's earning millions now.

The article is a roadmap of a failed government. Ours.

Her parents left Taxco regularly to sell jewelry in Texas. They got her a tourist visa so she could join them, and on one trip the family simply stayed.

It's like nobody was even looking for them. But they know all the tricks.

Arce was 14 when her visa expired. “I knew what that meant,” she says. “I became undocumented.” Desperate to stay in the country she had come to love, she pitched her parents on a plan to have her friend Tiffani’s family adopt her. The Arces didn’t go for that, or her half-hearted suggestion at age 16 that they pay a gay U.S. citizen who worked with the family to marry her.

Then the government comes along and enables more lawlessness.

In her senior year of high school, Arce sent out college applications with the Social Security box blank—and got rejections. Just as she was graduating in 2001, a new law made it possible for undocumented Texas students to attend public universities at in-state rates. Five weeks later the director for admissions at the University of Texas at Austin wrote to say her application had been reviewed and she’d been accepted.

And that's 'conservative', law-abiding Texas.

But wait, she's industrious and hard working:

Arce’s parents moved back to Mexico in 2001, and she took over a food cart business they left behind. Every Friday she rode a Greyhound bus 80 miles to San Antonio’s Market Square to sell funnel cakes with strawberries, whipped cream, and cinnamon. Every Sunday she returned to Austin with money for rent and school.

Except when she has to pay the rent or should the cart have paid the rent?

When the cart lost its spot, Arce couldn’t land a new job with her expired tourist visa.

Then she exploited the underpaid, underfunded DHS (which knows how to harass citizens, but can't find illegal aliens):

Getting a fake green card turned out to be unexpectedly simple. She confessed her need to a suite-mate, who connected her to her boyfriend, who introduced her to a woman, who asked her to come to her home. It was a mundane transaction, Arce says, in an average apartment with an average living room. She handed over the money, had her picture taken, and about two weeks later had the forged documents. They worked.

Then the unconstitutional Affirmative Action pushed her over the goal line.

Arce got a 2004 internship through a nonprofit called Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, which places Hispanic and black students into summer roles at banks.

Then finally, America's most effective government agency stepped in and caught her.

When Arce opened her mail one day that July, she found a letter from the IRS asking about her tax filings. An operations manager for a unit called Input Correction wanted “more information to process the return accurately.” She put it in her closet and tried to forget about it.

She was rich, but not happy.

By 2011, Arce was making $300,000 to $400,000—she won’t give the exact amount—and had been promoted to vice president. She replaced her fake green card with a real one from the U.S. government after the wedding. She was legal, elite, and rich. She was also unhappy. The only thing stranger than going from selling funnel cakes in Texas to equity derivatives in New York was how vacant she felt.

To happy herself up, she broke more laws

Arce visited her family in Taxco, flew to Europe on a Mexican passport

Then her potentially sham marriage, failed.

She and her husband, who moved away for a job, separated.

This caused her to lose her spunk. Burn out.

In 2012 a coffee with a friend working at Bank of America’s Merrill Lynch turned into a job opportunity, and she took it... When her boss stopped looking her in the eye, she says, she knew what was going to happen. She was let go last May.

Unemployed millionairess seeks legitimacy.

Arce is moving to California this March as the development director of Define American, a nonprofit founded by Vargas. The group pushes for rights for undocumented immigrants with projects including a campaign to have newspapers drop the term “illegal immigrant” in favor of “undocumented.”

She should be easy to round up and deport, no?

Making hundreds of thousands of dollars on Wall Street didn’t protect Arce from fear. “There is still the stigma that what we did is shameful,” she says. “I’m tired of being ashamed for pursuing my dream, for climbing up the ladder, and for having success.”

So our policies continue to let Mexico be a third world hell hole?

What do America's moneymen (the guys who run the country) say?

Goldman Sachs sent a statement from Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein: “Wouldn’t it be great if we could give a home to more of the talented young people who come to this country for an education and want to apply their energy and skills to supporting our economy?”

You mean legally Lloyd? Like with aptitude tests, so that we get the best and brightest? Would we be able to stop them from taking welfare, breaking laws, suborning liberty and justice and undermining our republic?
