No green card no car?

This 22 year old woman was here since she was 7 years old she has no legal status,has 2 kids and recently was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer.


She entered a raffle at a spanish radio station .


The price was a 1999 Corvet donated from a famous Mexican/American singer.


The only rule was to be present at time of drawing.


Well she won the car but the radio station lawyer told her tha t if she claim her price He will call U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement to get her deported.


The radio station is the one that organized the "famous" march of people last year.





In a separate incident this month,Toys R Us agreed to award a chinese american infant born in New York a 25,000 prize in a New Year's baby contest after the company was criticized for disqualifying the girl because her mother was (is) an illegal immigrant from china.





Do you think the radio station should give this poor woman (now she is in hiding because she is afraid), the car she won?

No green card no car?
What's wrong with this country lately? then it should be advertised as " for US citizens only " next time! if they don't want to give up the prize than why not just says so! why costing so much consumers time and money and then when they show up needs proof of citizen status? what's make this radio station imposing the laws or abusing the laws; its just a radio station for god shakes not an INS office! why not become an independent office of Immigration and Naturalization Services during daytime then turn into a hard rock station at night! its make sense.
Reply:NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!!!!





The rules state that the radio station can't give her the prize until she presents her social security number. Until she becomes a citizen she can't get one. If she's illegal she doesn't deserve the car anyway.





Get a social, get the car, or get out. That's the law. That's what I say. I don't feel sorry for her at all.

And? So what? So she has had that many years to get legal, and hasn't bothered. Lots of people have been diagnosed with cancer. Again, so what? What possible effect does that have on the present situation.

Sounds to me like they will, if she shows up and presents the needed documents to claim it. And my opinion doesn't mean much, the station has the last word on the situation, and they have made their position clear. Get legal, get you car, or don't, and if you show up I will call customs. What does the march have to do with it? Nothing, so why even mention that?
Reply:Nope!!! She is here illegally!! She is the reason why I have to press one to hear it in English or it goes straight to Spanish. Rules are rules and if you don't like them don't play. She should be in hiding and I hope they find her soon to send her back.
Reply:Yea tell her to go back to her damn country an stop crowding up the highways
