He admitted to using a fake SSN and buying a fake permanent resident ID cards. He’ll spend a little time at Club Fed before he’s deported for the third time. And because nobody in the American Federal government seems that interested in finishing the border fence, he’ll soon be back.

This is the claim that one Hurricane Katrina evacuee has filed against the Federal government. That’s in U.S. dollars, not Zimbabwe dollars. And you thought last month’s natural gas bill was high. A quadrillion here, a quadrillion there, pretty soon it starts adding up to real money.
The last time I read a credible article about the pseudo-scholarly estimation of the slavery reparations bill that such “scholars” thinks the Federal government owes the black establishment, it was in “the fourteen-figure range,” that being anywhere between $10 trillion and $1 less than $100 trillion. Assuming the high figure, this Katrina bill is more than 30 times the reparations bill, meaning that since the ante has been upped, the next “estimate” for reparations will be in the quintillions.
Otherwise, this obviously insane amount is the yin of the “ridiculous” to the yang of the “sublime” $1 billion claims submitted by over 200 individual Katrina evacuees. Only a billion, huh? That’s so much more reasonable.
Otherwise, this $3 quintillion figure will be the national debt in about a decade.
The Corps said it isn’t passing judgment on the merits of each claim. Federal courts are in charge of deciding if a claim is valid and how much compensation is warranted.
“It’s important to the person who filed it, so we’re taking every single claim seriously,” Corps spokeswoman Amanda Jones said.
Yeah, right. They might not be “passing judgment,” but I’m sure they’re laughing so hard that members of the Army Corps of Engineers are passing gas.
Daniel Becnel, Jr., a lawyer who said his clients have filed more than 60,000 claims, said measuring Katrina’s devastation in dollars and cents is a nearly impossible task.
“There’s no way on earth you can figure it out,” he said. “
Really? Well someone in Baker, Louisiana, USA, on Earth, figured out the dollar amount to the tune of 16 figures.
New Year’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe January 9, 2008

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The father of Rhode Island’s first baby of 2008 faces deportation after being arrested for violating immigration laws, while his roommate, also an illegal immigrant, was found dead of a suspected suicide hours after the arrest.
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Mynor Montufar at his apartment Friday after local newspapers and television stations showed him and Carmen Marrero as parents of the first baby born in the state after the new year rolled in, officials said.
While not the same storyline, this reminds me of the first newborn baby in the St. Louis area of 1996. The father was a black 15-year old teenager, and the mother was white and 14 years old. Since this new year was also the kid’s 12th birthday, I would be curious to know what became of all three of them.
Another illegal immigrant who shared the couple’s apartment, David De La Roca, 25, was found dead in a suspected suicide shortly after Montufar was taken into custody. He was found hanging from a belt in a locked bedroom, according to a police report.

The president of the Mexican-American Association of Rhode Island, Antonio Barajas, said an investigation would show whether the death was a result of distress triggered by fear of deportation.
So, in order to keep criminals from being stressed such that they hang themselves, the law should not be enforced against them. There’s a really good cracker jack plan. Let’s apply that logic to escaped prison inmates, why don’t we.
