dcchick and L8shift: exactly, so they're breaking the law twice - 1. one could assume their illegal (assume....) 2. not reporting wages - which they shouldn't be getting anyway because we're assuming they're illegal in this country. I don't care if people carry around wads of money or have all their life savings was under the mattress....just don't come crying to the government or police or to the media to explain your sob story when you get robbed or have a fire and you loose thousands of dollars in cash. There's only one person to blame in this situation.....it sucks it happend but I wouldn't feel sorry. I really don't have sympathy for stupidity, I'm sorry (is that an oxymoron or something?).

Yes, they should not be here in the first place, but that does but make right for them to be a victim of a violent crime. All too common in NW for black to prey on the latinos cause the latinos do not really want to deal with the police.

they shouldn't be in this country in the first place. we don't need illegals here.

Even a lot (not all) of those who are legals are leary of banks, because they don't want Uncle Sam to know how much they REALLY bring in as income.

My parents were/are LEGAL and they didn't trust the banks early on either...

If your are having your "Period", keep it to yourself, cause that is way to much information...

They shouldn't be wary of banks if they're LEGAL. Period!
