Family of illegal immigrant job applicant indignant that Carrollton hospital turned her in
CARROLLTON — Yeah, so Maria Martinez is an illegal immigrant. So she tried to get a job in the cafeteria at Trinity Medical Center in Carrollton. And yeah, so she did use a counterfeit social security number. But, her relatives wonder, is that really enough to get her arrested, jailed, and deported? Why couldn't Trinity Medical Center just ignore the law and let her go? Some people are so mean.
Police records state that Martinez, a single mother with a 3-year-old son and a teenage daughter, bought the social security card for $110 at a Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart sells that stuff?

I'm sick of all these immigrants getting offended by the law. If you don't like it, LEAVE....

Hey - if we can get them to just ignore felons, then maybe they can skip billing me for emergency room visits altogether!
I'm with you Collin. I mean what the heck are laws for if only a few of us have to follow them. We know we'd get busted for identity theft and I'm thinking a short vacation to Mexico is less scary than the pen I'd end up at.

Yes, I thought you were faking it. Or maybe David is the nice one? Or maybe I'm just confused altogether?

Oh, I knew Collin had a dark side. Who else would way "Heh, I'll dip strawberries to get my band some coverage." It has that Julie Andrews - S.O.B. (nuh-uh - no link) moment sorta woven in.

Well then, Jason, while you're at it, why don't you come out to our <a href="http://www.pegasusnews.com/events/2008/sep/20/110569/">show</a> in a few weeks? Then our evil scheme to hijack Pegasus News for personal gain will be complete.

How late are you playing? We have a show that night also but heck! I found time to chew the fat with the Yosts, the least I can do is lower the property values at South Side for an evening.

it looks like the 2 event are definitely going to conflict.. but that doesn't mean you can't come to <a href='http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=36595045&friendid=255810310"'>this one</a> (i guess pegasus hasn't found it yet...)

Hmm. I think MySpace has an "Old fat square guy" filter so I can't get to that link.
Found it elsewhere -- This one?
