As a first generation immigrant [of the legal variety], I could tell you that BS it is not. For those who come in with the clothes on their backs and not much else, frugality becomes a second nature, even at minimum-wage -type positions.It is the frugality of these people that sets off the BS meter. He worked two jobs for minimum wage to save up this amount of money, and he flies home?

How else would you get back to guatemala if you had $59,000? I bet the ticket was under 200 bucks, and I bet it would cost that much to set up other arrangements.
