Hiding in Hazleton

Hazleton's daily newspaper, the Standard-Speaker, recently ran a story about a woman named Rosalinda.
Rosalinda came to America eight years ago on a temporary work visa and apparently never left when the visa expired.
Her three children, also illegals, joined her two years later.She lives in such fear of her status being discovered that she limits her daily routine to such things as going to and from work or shopping for groceries.
She supports herself and her three children with a job that pays her $7.00 an hour.
And I should mention that this interview was done through an interpreter, it would seem that Rosalinda couldn’t speak English.
This is somewhat confusing.
Here is a prime example of the type of person Congress would grant amnesty.
Congress would have us believe that a woman who has lived in America for EIGHT YEARS without bothering to learn to speak English,supporting herself and 3 children on seven dollars an hour is going to return to her native country, re-enter the U.S. legally,(don't forget she was here on a "guest worker visa" save enough money to pay a fine, and become a productive member of society. Not yet another drain on the welfare system.If this were a comedy routine, the comic would get a standing ovation.
