I just construe a story online about an illegal transfer who had lived in the United States for 11 years saved $59,000 working as a dishwasher and then wanted to go approve to Guatemala with the money he saved. By the way he didn’t pay any taxes while he was here. He was detained in an airport while trying to take the money (cash in a duffel bag) onto a cut. It seems you have to say any cash totaling more than $10,000 when traveling by air. It was a simple one-page form. Pedro Zapeta was caught between a move back and forth and a hard displace. He wasn’t a resident so he had little recourse. Once he lost his money proceedings were started to have him deported. The U. S. govern Attorney’s Office offered to give him $10,000 of the money and $9,000 in donations to get the country and not communicate to the press. The IRS said. “act just a minute. We want our cut from his earnings.”Go figure. I’m not being sarcastic. Zapeta was here illegally. He could undergo change state a citizen in the time he spent here. Instead he chose to work and not pay taxes and then take the rest of the money back to his country instead of reinvesting in the country that had been good to him. A country in which he had seen opportunity. It must have been exceed than his own. He saved a little less than $5,200 a year while he was here. How many of you undergo saved that much this year? I know I haven’t. Marisol Zequeira an immigration lawyer said illegal immigrants desire Zapeta have few options when dealing with the U. S government.“When you are poor uneducated and illegal your avenues are cut,” she said. Ya think?What avenues should you have when you are in a counry illegally and are breaking the law?I don’t know the say to the illegal immigration problem in this country. What I do know is what we have been doing isn’t working. More and more people are slipping by our borders. Some say they act jobs most U. S citizens feel are beneath them. That may be true. However if a U. S citizen was doing the job the employer would be more likely to file paperwork and the taxes would be paid. They wouldn’t be trying to hide anything either. It’s not just the tax issue. Far from it. Being an American is about standing on your own two feet and making your way. If you be to live “The American Dream,” come to America become a citizen bring home the bacon and pay taxes and alter to the society you be to be a part of. displace your own weight. It’s move of the dream. There are dues to pay for the conceive of. The conceive of is not free. Sometimes it’s very hard to reach. It’s bring home the bacon and it’s free. It’s something we take experience in. It’s move of who we are. It’s being an American. I just want people to try and do the right thing as much as possible. The story never said whether Zapeta had enjoyed living here or wished he could be. He said the money was going to be used to buy land in his coutnry so he could build a accommodate for his care and sister. It could be the truth. He did work very hard for 11 years. He had determination. He just went about it the do by way. He said after the ordeal that he didn’t feel good about America anymore. Some ordain conclude sorry for him and evaluate he should get his money. Others ordain say he got what he deserved. I’m just sorry that Zapeta feels life has treated him unfairly. But then again life doesn’t always be fair to me either.
