That's how absurd this whole argument has become. There is guiding principle in law, in law enforcemtn or in poitics other than to punish the weakest link. “What about the employers of this “illegal”, did they claim him to the government for tax purposes?”

The "civil asset forfeiture" is anything but civil. It's become a cash cow for the government, with drug kingpins going free, just like the drug mules being "victims" of laws meant to capture the kingpins.

They should hold him accountable. After a quick google search, this is the phone number to his office. You can leave him a voice mail by dialing: 1-954-769-5490 and then pressing 6 Let him now how you feel.

The rational news is that the question of taxes will be settled according to law, or at least we can hope so. Everything else is just plain crazy. That it's been over two years is already a travesty of justice. That a deal was offered based on the man's NOT TALKING ABOUT IT smells to high heaven. This should be coupled with the story of the Iraq war widow who came close to being deported. I'm of the opinion that the law should be obeyed. When the law empowers stupid and vindictive actions by officials, however, I call for reasonable people to intercede. There should be reasonable people representing the law!
