I'm a successful entrepreneur but might get deported

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- It happens every time Celso Mireles, a tech consultant who runs a successful business in Phoenix, hops into his pickup truck and drives past a police car. His stomach turns. His chest tightens.

He could be deported any minute.Mexican-born Mireles, 25, is among nearly 2 million immigrants in the United States illegally who were brought here as children by their parents.

Without a path to residency or citizenship, these immigrants are prevented from getting regular jobs without lying or obtaining fake papers. Many are forced to become entrepreneurs. But increasingly hostile state laws have relegated these small businesses to the shadows, making it harder for them to prosper.

they are entrepreneurs, who I assume pay no taxes, drive without licenses and insurance, We're human. We have families. We contribute." To contribute, means laws have to be broken to succeed.

If he is illegal, it’s because he doesn’t care to do anything about it. Deport him and make room for a legal entrepreneur.

If Mr. Celso Mireles is so successful as a tech consultant, then he can choose to abide by the laws of the country in which he is making his money and get his citizenship properly. If not, he needs to go back to the cesspool he came from ....

An anglo tech should lose out so he can stay here and be successful at the anglo’s expense, it is only fair. The anglo can do manual labor but wait, no anglos need try for those jobs either.

Hey Celso, go home, make application to immigrate to the US and get in line.

This is all part of the “they just want to come here and work hard” meme. A liberal lie, just like Islam is the religion of peace and our strength is in our diversity. Live within the law like the rest of us do, or go back to Mexico!

Follow the rules and procedures for being here, and you don’t have to worry about pleading your case in the court of public opinion, morons!!!

“Without a path to citizenship”

That is a lie.

I'm a successful entrepreneur but refuse to allocate the good money I make, and devote the time necessary, to comply with the laws of the United States of America.

There, I corrected your title for spelling and grammar.

If he runs a succssful business, what about all of the endless bureaucratic paperwork that has to be backed up with endless documentation just to open a lemonade stand?

Wait, those rules are for suckers, taxpayers, citizens, and others who try to follow the ever-changing byzantine landscape of rules and regulations that justify 90% of the bureaucrats on the payroll.

He must be a leftist, too, if CNN is talking about him.

Life can be tough when you are illegal. He needs to go have a long talk with Mom and Dad who brought him here.

So why can’t he go to Mexico and be a successful tech consultant in a country where he doesn’t have to worry about getting deported?

I'm sure they need his expertise and entrepreneurship back where ever he came from.
