Stiffing the honest ones
AP has finally gotten around to talking to the LEGAL immigrants who play by the rules and wait in line, often for years for a chance to enter the U.S. legally.
Carlos Carbonell is one of these honest people and his wife is stuck down in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. So while she lives under the near-castroite oppression there, with a clown dictator who every day calls her an escualido and tries to steal her money and lets crime run rampant to terrify her, some Mexican ILLEGAL immigrants are jumping the queue so that they can get a new roof put on the house down in Oaxaca. What's wrong with this picture?
It's totally disgusting. AP can't bring itself to admit what a hellhole Venezuela has become but that's why this story is so important. Mexicans do not suffer the oppression and fear that Venezuelans do. That oppression ought to put them to the front of the line right there. But they aren't. Some (it's not right to say 'all') Mexicans are defacto ahead of them because they are more numerous and less willing to follow the law.
