“why do you assume that she wasn’t here legally????”
She probably was here legally. But she was not an American. Seems a bit odd that we would need to hire folks from outside the US to work in a National Park, but then, the concession jobs there aren’t exactly fun. Still, they used to have lots of applicants for them.
I had a girl friend when I was a youngster who was an American. She loved excitement. She went to work on a cattle run in Wyoming somewhere,
People from all over the world love that sort of excitement. But not me...
She's not U.S., but she's American. Ecuador is in South America, check your globe.
