Ventura, 38, who came to the United States seven years ago and then received the temporary protected status because of the earthquake in his homeland, smiled ruefully as he recalled the sense of possibility that suffused Prince William back then. "Oh, it was so great. There was so much work," he said.

But a slowdown in the construction industry has forced Ventura to cut his workforce to 15 people. Meanwhile, his plan to buy a new house and offset some of the mortgage by renting some of the rooms backfired after county residents called for a crackdown on overcrowding. A few days ago, the bank foreclosed on the property, wiping out all $80,000 of his savings and leaving him $20,000 in debt.

G-
I was thinking but did not post that Jose came here illegally but got his immigration status "legalized". You have proved this with his bullshit "temporary protected status".
Jose is a big deal, a big padron and jefe. His game plan was to provide food and lodging to illegal aliens from El Salvador who are on his masonry work crew. Just about all transactions done in cash with few employment taxes paid

I'd love to put the IRS on his tail and see them haul off his bigass new truck

I said he was Mexican but that was dumb of me. Central Americans were the first to flood the DC area. The Mexicans are not so numerous
