N.C. illegal immigrant allowed to retrieve buried savings

Chavez never earned more than $7.25 an hour but was able to save, thanks to his thriftiness and stamina for long work weeks.

Yeah, thriftiness and stamina. It's more likely that he was able to save that much by not paying taxes for most of the time he was here and by taking all of the taxpayer freebees that were available. You can bet he pulled in free medical care for both himself and his son, free education for the son and whatever other taxpayer funded handouts the various states were giving him.

Confiscate the money to pay for some of those services.

You guys would have loved the LULAC convention this year . .

Speaker: NAACP, LULAC should team up

Huckabee promotes 'open door' policy at LULAC convention

>"You guys would have loved the LULAC convention this year"

Ha! I don't think so, Happy!
;^D

Let me be CLEAR:
I'm not for the gubmint confiscating anyones hard earned cash, be they legal, or illegal immigrant, citizen or not.

I'm for abolishing the IRS, not giving them more power.
Look, my FRiend, you know I'm on the same side of immigration as you, don't you?
But many of the folks here on this thread want to see this guys money conficated, and given to...the federal government???

Well, as I said, if he earned it working, and it wasn't stolen, or ill-gotten...let him keep his money...and send him back to Mexico.

Re"the belying of one's true intentions by deceptive words or action"
?
Happy,
I'm not sure of the intent of your comment...are you saying I'm duplicitous? care to clarify?

Please

By the way, the native born haven't stopped doing this.

I don't know many minimum wage workers who have saved 31,000 dollars. Actually, about 12 million citizens have declared personal bankruptcy in the last 10 years.

CLOSE THE F*&%ING BORDER!!

After reading your post, I would think that "CLOSE THE F*&%ING WELFARE STATE!!" would be more productive for you.

It's more likely that he was able to save that much by not paying taxes

I will say again that mimimum wage US citizens do not directly pay fica or income taxes to any significant degree. Illegal immigrants at the same low income level pay about the same taxes as US citizens at the same low income level.

[chronic_loser]

Yeah. Have to save those jobs for hard working Americans. right.

He SHOULD be back in Myrtle Beach next week with papers. The raw hypocrisy of the anti immigrant movement is astounding, but the market will trump both the idiocy of the Tancredo goobs and the xenophobic rants (what, me racist?) of the anti immigrant freepers. And please, don't bother with the sanctimonious crap about "not being anti-immigrant, just anti illegal immigrant." Just because the leftists overplay the race card doesn't make the statist (protect my job, Mr. Fed!!! the scarey spics are coming!!!!)cant that comes out of these boards any less despicable.

These folks are coming here for a better life, yet there is a LYING contingent of Freepers who claim they come here to ride the gravy train and sponge benefits. No one who spends any time among these folks believes such nonsense. I live and work with these people daily. They are hard working, honest, good people as a whole. If I had to pick who to share my country with between some illegal who works his a-s off and saves thousands of dollars while working at a click above minimum wage some hateful sneering jerk who was born here, I think I will take the illegal. I think I already have.

[JWinNC]

yep...

and if you multiply $500 a week times 30 plus years then this "thrifty" person saved less than 4% of their income.

Just because you don't know of any American workers who have done this doesn't mean that none of them have done this. And based on the facts in the article, we only know of one foreign worker who has done this.

[Not A Snowbird]

I hope he declared it on his way out.

[Happy2BMe]

"I live and work with these people daily."

========================

How many of these people are on your payroll, sir?

[Happy2BMe]

"I will say again that mimimum wage US citizens do not directly pay fica or income taxes to any significant degree."

=============================

Do you deal with these type issues on a regular basis, sir?

[chronic_loser]

none. Next question?

[Happy2BMe]

"Our time will come with the will of a vengeful God, you selfish hypocrites."

=================================

Can you please be more specific, sir?

[Happy2BMe]

Yes, please. Do you know of any employers who do have them on their payrolls, sir?

[Live and let live conservative]

Or maybe he actually worked more than 40 hours a week. 40 hours a week is a vacation to a guy like this.

Have you told the illegal's that you consider them to be spics ?

Don't bother telling me what you think of Germans, Itallians or Blacks because I'm sure I already know the answers to that. With an racist attitude such as you have, you will always be a chronic_loser.

Don't bother replying to me. I don't care to debate with racists.

O'Connell agreed and turned Chavez over to the consulate July 11.

he now forms part of the Mexican Consulate's illegal immigrant relocation program - he'll show up in another US city with a new identity before long.
