If I were Ramón Rodriguez Vazquez, I’d be cursing Biden and the Dems for creating the crisis that resulted in the crackdown. If Biden (or the cabal of activists acting for him) didn’t open the borders, this guy may never have been found out.

…and never committed a crime. … except for being here in the first place - analogous to Original Sin.

He had 16 years to apply for a visa and didn’t do so. Is the excuse “Opps, I forgot?”
To: Twotone
The 62-year-old was a part of a tight-knit community and never committed a crime. You committed a crime when you came here ILLEGALLY. Enjoy the suck.

He came thru our borders ILLEGALLY and every day since then he has committed a criminal act by being here ILLEGALLY!

The only thing this story is missing is the violin accompaniment.

For some reason, I don’t believe a word of this sob story.

Did he have a Social Security number?
How did he pay taxes?
And if he has a Social Security number, how did he get it?
Or did he just have a TIN?
AI Overview
Undocumented immigrants cannot legally obtain a Social Security number (SSN) in the United States. An SSN is a unique nine-digit number issued by the Social Security Administration (SSA) for the purpose of tracking wages and eligibility for Social Security benefits. Generally, only non-citizens with work authorization from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can get one.
However, undocumented immigrants who earn income can apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for tax purposes.

If Biden (or the cabal of activists acting for him) didn’t open the borders, this guy may never have been found out. Amen. And also blame all those democrats and "immigration activists" over the years who either implicitly or explicitly told all those illegals to come here because nobody would dare kick them all out once they were here.
Clearly, they were wrong.

All very good points.

16 years, never legal. Who’s fault is that?

Kudos to the whole thread, for the obvious reading.
An illegal migrant, no matter how long here, remains an illegal migrant. Entered in the Obama Mistake, and stayed on, illegally.
All my forebearers came legally, and were proud and legal “Skandahoovian” citizens of these United States.

I’m not seeing the problem.

That’s probably quite wise

which ALWAYS omits important
facts to sell a Leftist narrative
