Another Illegal Immigrant Suing in the United States? Give a Mouse a Cookie...

and the damn thing will want a glass of milk to go with it. First, we have an illegal immigrant drug smuggler suing the U.S. for violating his "civil rights" by shooting him in an attempt to apprehend the lawbreaker and sending two decorated Border Patrol agents to prison for over a decade each. Now, from Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse, we have another one of the greedy little buggers having the nerve to sue a U.S. corporation for not giving her radio contest prize because she's an illegal. Most of these contests have rules that say you must be a U.S. citizen to claim your prize. The attorney for the radio station did his job and the right thing by telling this woman and her lawyer he'd report her to the authorities if she pressed her claim. I swear, I'm striking up the world's smallest nanotech violin of symathy for all these "aggrieved" illegal alien criminal and their "rights". Either come to this country the right way or stay home. Period. End of Discussion.

"What’s wrong with this picture? We can start by taking the Tribune to task for referring to the woman as “undocumented.” She is, of course, an illegal alien who is breaking the law by residing in the United States without a visa or green card. But hey! Whose counting?

And I don’t know what’s more shocking; the fact that the station tried to give her the car anyway without collecting the necessary tax information or the unmitigated gall of the woman to sue for “emotional distress.” Living here illegally is emotionally distressing in and of itself. But to try and soak a radio station for trying to follow the law and deny her the benefit of her ill gotten gains is beyond the pale, beyond avarice, and beyond belief. ...

Alvarez’s suit also names SBS lawyer James Cueva, who sent her attorney a letter on Dec. 19, 2005, threatening to contact immigration officials if she pursued a lawsuit.

“I will caution you that if you insist on filing suit against SBS, I will in turn be forced to refer this matter to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as I believe your client is in this country illegally,” the letter said.

Why should the station apologize for a lawyer doing his duty as a citizen and reporting an illegal alien? The context is perfect; an illegal alien was trying to claim an expensive prize without having to pay taxes on it and was threatening to sue in order to get even more loot from the station. Whatever context you want to view that in is fine with me.

The woman is a fool. She should have waited a few months when the amnesty bill that will almost surely be passed gives her everything her little mercenary heart desires.

Until then, I sure hope she finds a way to deal with her “emotional distress.”
