[texasvtak]

That sucks. A lot. But you cant expect much when you dont play by the rules.

[deevergote]

Wow... that's really messed up.

I wonder WHY the law won't allow more than $10,000 to leave the country without being claimed? I suppose it could be going to fund an enemy of the country or some sort of illegal business...


The guy should just be able to prove that he DID earn that much money in his time here, and that it's rightfully his. Then just fill out the form and be on his way.

this guy should have gotten a visa/mastercard/ debit card.... thats just too much much dinero to be carrying around..what if his apartment caught on fire?

i think he was on a work visa...but does that prevent him from opening a bank account?

[deevergote]

I don't see why it would. As long as he had legal permission to work in this country, I don't see why a bank wouldn't want to profit from his money! 11 years of savings, even though it isn't a whole lot, is a good amount for a bank. For the first 8 years or so, the bank would have enough of that man's money on-hand to finance a car and make a killing on interest!

Depending on his culture, though, banking might not be something he's used to, or comfortable with. Especially in a country where most of the people at the bank wouldn't speak his language!

an illegal immigrant from Guatemala

How the hell did he LEGALLY have a job?

The restaurant should be held liable for hiring an illegal.

Feel bad that he lost the money, but if he had done things the proper way he would have been better off.

"They are treating me like a criminal when all I am is a working man," he said.

He was a criminal. he was not he legally, that makes him a criminal. Hence the terms LEGAL and ILLEGAL

"I am desperate," Zapeta said. "I no longer feel good about this country."

Good maybe he will go try to scam another country, and leave the jobs for the LEGAL American's
