Illegal Sues for Corvette Prize
Earlier this month, there was the Toys R Us sweepstakes controversy, in which the toy retailer refused to give a $25K savings bond to a baby born to an illegal immigrant Chinese couple (which it later reversed, most likely to avoid bad publicity and a costly lawsuit).
Now we have an illegal immigrant suing a Chicago radio station, 107.9 La Ley (a Spanish language station...surprise!), because it hasn't given her the Corvette she won in a contest in 2005.
In a written statement, La Ley said that it is legally required to get a valid Social Security number or tax identification number from anyone who wins prizes worth more than $500.
In other words, US citizens or legal residents only.
Maribel Nava Alvarez is also whining that the station's lawyer threatened to report her to immigration authorities if she went forward with the suit. She has since left the Chicago area, fearing deportation. Too bad she wasn't able to drive away in that snazzy Corvette.
Who says these folks aren't assimilating?
Gotta be legal to drive one of these babies!

Yeah, these illegals sure are learning to whine like Democrats. No wonder they keep voting for them!

As most US-built cars Corvettes are polluting plastic-made pieces of crap!
I hope the Chinese couple makes money to afford a better car.
