Subject: RE: Woman deported after winning Arizona casino jackpot all the signs make no difference. There are signs warning people about the dangers they'll encounter in different area (poisonous snakes, fast currents in canals, risk of dehydration and starvation), but the people who cross illegally want to believe that it's all propaganda. Here where I live, the Border Patrol arrested two men with really bad frostbite on their feet two days ago. I'm sure if they'd been told about the risks before they crossed, they would have done it anyway. Now U.S. taxpayers are paying for their hospital stay and surgery to remove parts of their feet. This woman just wants to feel entitled. It's not the casino's fault she wasn't present in the U.S. legally, and claiming they're prejudiced is off-base. The casino doesn't care who plays there, they just can't turn the money over without meeting specific requirements. If she doesn't want to worry about the possibility of being removed from the U.S., she needs to apply for a visa. It's not the easiest process in the world, but it's easier than getting Legal Resident status in Mexico! |
