Well, paulawindley, I do not know anything about the Special Immigrant Non Minister Religious Worker Program Act that you referenced but I do know the Arzolas and they are in fact, as ash0763 said, American citizens. I have not been out of the country with them on Mission trips through their church, but I know others who have (they couldn't come back to the US if they were not citizens). As far as their personal character goes, I do not agree that they are "greedy people going around in the name of God" but rather godly people who made a mistake, for sure. As we all fall short sometimes, no?

paulawindley: I don't know where you're getting YOUR information from but I happen to know they are dual citizens of both AMERICA and Venezuela. Obviously that makes them LEGAL. William and Danalis are loving christians and NOT the greedy people you are claiming. And as a friend of the family, I don't appreciate you making FALSE claims about them. This truly is a tragic time for the family and my prayers are with them.

I don't know where you got this information from, but William Arzola went around claiming he was here under the Special Immigrant Nonminister Religious Worker Program Act, so they were NOT even close to be "LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE USA", so, they could not be "american citizens" as it is in your statement. They were people that committed fraud to put more money in their pockets, and they need to pay for what they have done. Greedy people going around in the name of God that's all they are.

Please stop calling them Immigrants, they are illegal Aliens. also stop with the pity party, we all know that the only reason they are here is to send the money back to their country of origon. They jump the Border so they do not have to pay taxes, I'm sure we all would like to receive 100% of our paychecks, can I see a show of hands that want to be taxed?

Crickets chirp............

All facilities resumed production on the same day as the raids. All returned to full production within five months. This is an indication that the plants could operate at full capacity without the presence of illegal workers. There is good evidence that after the raids the number of native-born workers increased significantly. But Swift would not provide information on how its workforce has changed. Swift also has recruited a large number of refugees who are legal immigrants. At the four facilities for which we were able to obtain information, wages and bonuses rose on average 8 percent with the departure of illegal immigrants.

already proven kittles, these were involving the raids in Iowa

you see us tight Americans are willing to do "the jobs Americans won't do"

I here there's a bus leaving in a few, why don't you join them? that why you won't have to be with us "tight Americans"
