35 years ago i hired a 18 year old illegal alien to work for my lawn maint. company. he had been in dallas, texas 1 day. fast forward 20 odd years.
my wife and i started working to get him, his wife and his brother green cards. his father, mario, became an american citizen with the reagan amnesty program. this was a big help.
lots of red tape. had to get a public drunkeness report from the city of dallas from 10 years before. the files were in a warehouse, but the charges had been dropped. proving that took almost 6 months and close to $1,000 dollars in city fees.
redtape redtape redtape. provided 3 years of my tax returns. they ran me and my wife through the computer used by the cia. jesus, blanca and his brother raggulio had to get expensive physicals. they had to get routine vaccinations that are not available in mexico.
thank god for an attorney in ft worth. she filed all the paperwork and sent a para legal to the final sit down with immigration. the immigration clerk made a mistake and took ragullio off in hand cuffs, but the paralegal challenged and the found the correct paper work. all three got approved and received green cards about 2 weeks later. that was 12 years ago.
i quickly turned the business over to jesus, my wife and i moved back to stillwater. 12 yrs later he is still mowing 400+ yards a week. never on welfare, never at the county hospital, filed taxes every year, never took a dime from the gov. he just worked the system and 30 odd years later, he is an american citizen.
i never advocated amnesty. i advocated a 10-15 yr plan for illegals. this would get them out of the shadows. it would let THEM work their way to citizenship. it would get them on our census and tax rolls.
they bought a house in my neigborhood and brought $80K in CASH to closing.
it took jesus, blanca and ragullio a little longer than 10-15 yrs, but they became american citizens. so proud of the them. the system does work.
all right, take your best shot
