Then there are the illegal immigrant leaches. They come with the sole purpose of exporting cash back to their homeland. The very money that should be going into the local economy. These people never pay taxes either.

Not only should he have lost the $59,000, he should be headed to prison.

What makes this a shocking story is not the figure. It's that he tried to export the entire $59,000 at once. Most of these guys are smart enough to send it little by little.


What is your take on this?

Should a citizen of one country be allowed to funnel money out of communities and send it back to his home country?
