" Plus, someone called in a tip on them"

Probably the landlord trying to evict them.

$8000 amongst 5 foreign nationals is nothing. And why wouldn't they have subway maps if they used subways?

So far nothing in this story is incriminating except they were illegal.

That's why they are just being deported.

*other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

[sofaman]

1. Illegally in the country.

2.$8,000 came from?

3.Video cameras with NY landmarks filmed. Considering that they've been here for a while (5 years in one case), why were they filming these?

4. Lied to the police.

5. Subway maps and train schedules...considering the attacks in Spain and the UK, we would ignore this at our peril.

6. We act or we live in a pre 9/11 fantasy world.

And that is more than enough for them to be kicked out of the country.

Having a name like mohamed is probable cause enough for me. Why anyone would want the name of a child molesting, sodomite, scum sucking thief is beyond me.
