I found this little article and was wondering.. It appears this couple did everything legally and tried to make an honest living (notice debt free and employing locals), unlike the many illegals currently in the US. Wouldn't it be so much easier if these people had entered illegally from the outset? They'd definitely have less hassle. Illegals will be laughing with this situation..
