Thread: Ilegal's "building project" halted b/c he's deport

THis is unbelievable...an illegal alien somehow gets financing to build a hotel/restaurant etc. near an ICE detention center to cater to the families of illegals that are being detained............and the illegal alien's "building project" gets stopped b/c now he's being deported too.....the really insance thing is that this newspaper takes the position that somehow the illegal alien "businessman" is a sympathetic figure instead of the sleazy, illegal, opportunistic criminal that he is.

Shouldn't the illegal aliens be realizing that other illegal aliens like this guy was going to build personal wealth for himself upon the deportations of his fellow illegal aliens? HAs the world gone mad?


Deportation haults hotel project in Ramondville

RAYMONDVILLE - From Neil Patel's new hotel, he can see Ricardo de la Mora's construction project choked in weeds, its walls scarred with gang graffiti.

This month, Patel said he plans to open La Quinta Inns & Suites next to his Best Western Inn at the intersection of Expressway 83 and Hidalgo Avenue.

But nobody knows when de la Mora will complete work on his hotel project just north of Raymondville's city limit sign, Willacy County Commissioner Eddie Chapa said Friday.

"It's very, very sad," Chapa said of de la Mora's project.

Last year, de la Mora planned to build a hotel and restaurant, gas station and health clinic on his 20-acre site, Chapa said.

But construction stopped late last year, he said.

That's when federal authorities deported de la Mora to Mexico because his work visa expired, said Ernesto Valencia, de la Mora's former brother-in-law who works at the Real Azteca Inn in Donna.

De la Mora could not be reached for comment.

"We needed to add hotels because we knew we had expansion going on," Chapa said. "Our little hotels are constantly packed."

Visitors are coming to town to see relatives held in two prisons that stand near a 3,000-bed detention center for illegal immigrants, Chapa said.

"We get a lot of business from the prisons because relatives come here to visit," Chapa said.

Others look for hotels when they come to work the cotton and sorghum harvests, he said.

Patel's new hotel "will pick up some of the business," Chapa said.

Later this month, Patel said he plans to open a 60-room La Quinta Inn that will include four apartments and a meeting room.

The hotel will create as many as 12 jobs here, said Patel, who bought his Best Western Inn in 2004.

"It's a stopping point," Patel said of Raymondville. "It's a thoroughfare. All of these travelers are heading toward South Padre Island or Mexico."

Officials don't know when de la Mora will finish work on his hotel, Chapa said.

"We had it checked and it's still structurally sound," Chapa said.

So far, the damage is confined to gang graffiti defacing its walls and weeds choking the project site.

County officials have not taken steps to condemn the site, Chapa said.

"But eventually, if this thing isn't done in the coming year, decisions will have to be made if it becomes a health hazard," Chapa said.

Don't forget the link... Dixie was here.

WTF is going on in this country! It's the same %$# every day with illegals and some traitor out there willing to sacrifice America to make a buck!

He was not illegal when he began the project and you do not need to be lving here in order to own a hotel here legally. All he needs is a partner or a project manager who is here legally to complete the complex.

There are many illegal business owners who over stayed visas. I read about it all the time when the papers write sob stories about them. They own restuarants, small grocery stores, gas stations and more. They get money while they are legal and keep paying off the loan even though they overstayed. In my condo complex we are getting more foreclosed units due to illegals having bought them and are now deported.

I smell an unfunded shake-down = No pay Bye Bye . Hey you'll know America has a lot of corruption also , it's a fact .

Last year, de la Mora planned to build a hotel and restaurant, gas station and health clinic on his 20-acre site, Chapa said.

Something doesn't seem 'right' about this............

20 acres of land + hotel + restaurant + gas station + HEALTH CLINIC =
financed with drug or human smuggling money?

What better way to make contacts with the soon to be deported than through visiting relatives.............

From the articles one reads (like the illegal aliens at Postville for instance) how can the immediate family afford to travel and spend money on a motel when the main wage earner is detained and they don't have his income? I suppose some may have relatives who are legally in the country.

that's an easy question; you and i are paying for their comforts. if an illegal squirts out an anchor the anchor is immediately our (American taxpayers) dependent. i personally don't believe these people are coming here solely for jobs, they are coming here for the social services... handouts. if these were hard working people they would be in their own countries and cleaning them up. i have noticed here in illinois non english speaking individuals almost always have a HUGE roll of cash on them. (i see it when ever i'm behind them at store checkout)

A LOT?
