    Seeking green cards, migrants lost $130,000

    Seeking green cards, migrants lost $130,000


    Illegal immigrant who swindled family could face prison time.

    Juan Hurtado, the patriarch of an extended family from Mexico living and working illegally in San Antonio, saw a glimmer of hope when his co-worker Marco Antonio Castillo bummed a ride and told him he had a brother who could help them get green cards and a path to citizenship.

    But it would cost money for all the paperwork and processing: $2,200 per person to start, Castillo told him.

    Between April 2006 and February 2009, Castillo gave the Hurtados excuses, and later threats, as he squeezed more than $130,000 from the family of 12, federal authorities say.

    They turned over earnings, broke a kid's piggy bank, sold their meager property in Mexico, borrowed from acquaintances and funneled it all to Castillo — but still, no green cards. When the family suspected they were being had and pressed the issue, Castillo responded with threats that his relatives were cartel-connected and that he packed heat.

    Then, one of the Hurtados did what few illegal immigrants do: outed the family by going to San Antonio police to report Castillo.

    The resulting federal investigation found Castillo has no relatives working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as he had told the family. Agents found Castillo was in the country illegally himself and was able to con them because he is fluent in English and had lived here a few years. He even impersonated an ICE officer on the phone, records said.

    This whole family of criminal morons needs to be deported without exception or mercy. The last thing US taxpayers need to spend 1 dime on is prosecuting illegal aliens taking advantage of illegal aliens. Deport the scammer, do not lock him up here and send us tax bills to pay for it. Kick his ass out of the country. As for the idiots, kick them out too. If it weren't for them being here in the first place the scammer wouldn't have had any criminals to scam into getting papers to sanitize their crimes.

    And tell me again about these poor "immigrants"? These poor "immigrants" paid this scammer $130,000 they allegedly raised from family and friends back in Mexico and their daughters "piggy bank" to get them green cards? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Who in our government or press is stupid enough to believe this??!!

    They're drug running smuggler scammers themselves. Get these dishonest criminal never met a law they wouldn't break people out of our country and keep them out.

    My thoughts exactly Judy!

    The so called "victims" knowingly participated in fraud and should also be deported. You'd think with all the hispanic advocates coaching them on how to game our system, they didn;t know? Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining!

    your 100% right ... why should we the american tax payer cough up however much it costs for the trial , and his jail time when the only people he took advantage of were illegal immgrants ....

    send them back to where they came from and let them sort it out the old fashioned way ..
