In the United States since 1989, he considers himself part of the mainstream.

And here lies the bulk of the problem with illegal aliens. They all think that since they have been in this country for several years, that it's now OK for them to stay here and never mind the fact that they BROKE THE LAW when they entered the U.S. ILLEGALLY.

With idiots like that on a jury (bleeding hearts) there's no hope of any real immigration enforcement.

If he had stolen your car in 1989 and had it still this day would it legally be his? No...nor should it be.

Send them back their own country.

They have remained law-abiding....

They never were law abiding.

Buh Bye!

...that it's now OK for them to stay here and never mind the fact that they BROKE THE LAW when they entered the U.S. ILLEGALLY.

Not to mention all the other laws that were broken:
"Elias Ventura, sitting in the living room of the converted condominium he purchased with the help of documentation the consultant obtained for him."
Could this "documentation" be illegally forge documents to fake citizenship? How did he pay taxes, as he claims, without a Social Security number, unless it was fraudulently obtained? One lie (felony) leads to another in this case.

<< never mind the fact that they BROKE THE LAW when they entered the U.S. ILLEGALLY. >>

And that was 'only' a 'misdemeanor.'

Descending from those criminal beginnings, every subsequent action to STAY in the United States involves the willing commission of a FELONY.

Let us not kid ourselves this Teddy 'The Swimmer' Kennedy-initiated criminal alien invasion, hostile colonization and (effective) takeover of the United States of America by whatever other name is anything other than what it is.

A Criminal Alien Invasion, us not kid ourselves this criminal alien invasion, hostile colonization and (effective) takeover.

And they get REWARDED by our legal system lottery for it. If you're an illegal, you've never had it so good in America.

Escobar “did something wrong to us, so we are going to defend ourselves,” said Ventura.

The law is a two edged sword, Ventura.

You did something wrong coming here and now it's time for you to pay the piper. In your case, you can now afford to live like an American in your native home, or you can spend it all with lawyers in an attempt to continue to circumvent the law which you were more than willing to use against another when it suited your purposes.
