When I went to high school, I met a family that owns several Chinese restaurants. They also hire undocumented immigrants. They are also paid in cash and do not report it to the IRS. I strongly believe that most people being watched are hispanics, however, to be fair, more investigations should be done with this other communities. I can find plenty of places where this type of activities are being committed. Chinese immigrants do not pay taxes! They own a lot of restaurants and luxyrious homes by avoiding to pay the correct amount of taxes!
I think, all immigrants have to be checked! I hope the media begins to inform that not only Mexicans cross the border. There are plenty of Africans, chinese, middle eastern too. They go to other countries in Central and South America and pay to sneak in. "

There is no indication in this article that the person that they are talking about is not legally in the United States. Moreover, previous articles about this individual identified him as a U.S. citizen. You are assuming that he is not legally here just because he has a Spanish last name. "

What is wrong with this picture? Makes the whole thing laughable. Where was Homeland Security when he applied for his loan? "
