"In Mexico, who will pay me $500 a week?" he asked.

So, can the money gained as the result of a crime now be kept by the criminal?
You'd think the libs would at least want to tax this guy before they let him go
(Wonder just how much of the $31,700 Chavez actually got to keep after everyone got their hands in it?)
===================================
On July 6, Chavez was among 48 illegal immigrants working for private construction contractors at the Air Force base who were rounded up after a two-month investigation.He told his secret to a staff member from the Mexican Consulate in Raleigh, who had come to the jail July 8 to make sure Chavez and the other detained Mexicans were being treated fairly.
" . . and the cooperation of immigration officials."
=========================
With "cooperation" like that - who needs the Border Patrol?
President Bush faces a major rebellion within his own party if he follows through on a promise to push legislation that would offer millions of illegal immigrants a path to U.S. citizenship. Almost no issue divides Republicans as deeply.
" You in a heap a trouble boy."
If he were a citizen, he would not have made enough to have any tax liability. We might owe him money via earned income tax credit.
I say the county thugs got at least $5 grand before Chavez even got out the front door of the jail.
Working hard and saving is not a crime which is how he accumulated his money. Illegally crossing the border is a crime, but illegally crossing does not get you 31,000 dollars.
Send him back to Mexico! We already have too many hard working and money saving citizens.
"So, can the money gained as the result of a crime now be kept by the criminal?"
Sure, if you're a U.S. citizen.
"We might owe him money via earned income tax credit."

You're bustin' me up here -
This is the kind of immigrant we need. Hard working and saving. Why the hell have the native born stopped doing this ?
I agree with most of the posters here.
Send him back to Mexico! We already have too many hard working and money saving citizens.

Very good and very sly.
Not in some cases. I think charles manson wrote a book and made some money from it while he was in jail. People did not like this and they passed the charles manson law where if you are in prison, any money you get from books, movies, music etc. is taken from you and used to compensate the victims.
I am pretty sure charles manson is not an illegal alien. He was doing a job even illegals refused to do.
Uh, robbery?
