Chavez, 66, has lived in the United States off and on since 1970, when he crossed the Rio Grande River in search of work. He came to North Carolina seven years ago and got a job with a private construction company after doing farm work and construction in California, Texas, Florida and Kentucky. Chavez never earned more than $7.25 an hour but was able to save, thanks to his thriftiness and stamina for long work weeks.

He's getting too old to put together another $30,000. Hopefully he won't come back but will retire in Mexico. This guy put in a lot of back breaking work. I would never deny him the money he squirreled away. To me his case for justice is a lot stronger that all these young illegal aliens who want instate tuitions for college and who are near impossible to deport.

Bottom line is I respect his years of hard labor. At age 66 you cannot deny him the fruits of his labor

And I respect your opinion, sir. Thank you for expressing it.

Senor Chavez would have never had to come here and break our immigration laws if he lived in a nation that was not run by drug cartels and elitists who control over 90% of the wealth by less than 10% of the population.
