Some Lawyers Said to Prey on Illegal Immigrants

For $2,800, Silvia Alfaro said, a well-known immigration lawyer in Salt Lake City promised that her husband would get a green card and her family a shot at their American dream.

Ms. Alfaro, a United States citizen, said she told the lawyer, James Hector Alcala, that her husband, Leonel, had lived illegally in this country for 17 years and once was deported. Mr. Alcala promised to take care of everything, she recalled, and he said her husband was a good man.

But when, at the lawyer’s urging, Mr. Alfaro showed up last April at a federal immigration office in Salt Lake City for an interview for a green card, he was immediately taken into custody. The next day he was on a plane back to Mexico.

“I felt completely destroyed,â€

That would be called the ACLU!!!

They ain't immigrants. They are illegal aliens who paid money to get into this country, knowing what they did was wrong. They bought stolen papers and they also are paying for some immigration attorney to obfuscate their criminal acts and circumvent the laws of a nation they believe is stupid.
Feel sorry for these illegals getting cheated? Not for a minute! They should be happy the American taxpayer pays for their trip home. Sneaking back into this country is their problem. And where are they getting the money to pay the traffickers over and over?

This is nothing new, been happening forever. We finally learned, better late than never, to never to do "business" within our own ethnic group.
