Benito rarely emerges from the sushi bar where he works preparing fish and meat, and making deliveries on a small white motorbike, before the middle of the night. He considers ten, eleven or even twelve hours of work to be a successful evening, yielding good money to send back to his parents and his three-year-old daughter in Mexico.
The more we work the more they pay us, Benito said. Most of it goes back to Mexico so that my family can eat.
But Benito, who asked us not use his last name, has a problem. He crossed the border illegally in 2009, and one morning this March Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived at his apartment holding a copy of false work papers he had used at a previous job. ICE opened a deportation case against him.
Benito is now seeking what is known as prosecutorial discretion asking ICE to close his case because he says hes here to work to support his family and doesnt pose any threat. If the agency grants the request, he wouldnt get a green card or work papers, but the government would stop its efforts to deport him.
Benitos future depends in large part on a highly touted initiative by the Obama administration to increase the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Last summer, ICE announced that it would shift its resources to deporting top targets like criminals and frequent border crossers, and close some of its cases against people who didnt pose a safety threat. The agency said last November that it would review all pending deportation cases to try to shut down the ones that no longer fit its priorities.

“The more we work the more they pay us, Benito said....
WAIT UNTIL that union gets to you!
Welcome to America Benito.
Feel free to do whatever the hell you feel like. Laws are for “other people” like those citizen taxpayer suckers.
Meh, he needs to move to MA....
Obozo’s illegal relatives are doing really well from the largess of the tax payers of MA...go for it, buddy.
You'd think we "might" have a problem if there are so many "Benitos" out there, and so easily found.
Actually, my wife and I were going to breakfast yesterday and we passed by a Home Depot. I told her: see those men hanging out right there? They're all illegal.
She had no idea that HD is where you go to pick up day-laborers.
“F” him! Who gives a damn about this “wetback”. He got here so I guess he can swim. Take him to the border and force him to swim back!

Deport the law breaker!
This is a little off topic but I found this story in the British paper the Daily Mail. This paper seems to be a great place to learn things that are censored by most of the media. It is the story of a brave young Mexican woman mayor, mother of three children, who stood up against the cartels and paid with her life.
While this young heroine was fighting the cartels our own corrupt politicians are providing them places to hide out in their sanctuary cities. Remember that the cartels have thousands of distributors throughout our country, without millions of illegals in our country, the Mexican cartels would not be able to make their billions in blood soaked money. Every pro-illegal politician or cheap labor enthusiast is contributing to the drug and human trafficking cartels that are terrorizing Mexico.
