A Vietnamese gentleman that I know is taking my friends customers in a bad way. My friend says that this guy has an expired visa and he is supposed to be arrested. He was in Massachusetts but he made bail and didn't go back to court, instead he came here to California and started his own business out here doing nails. Here is the kicker my friend helped him to come to the United states and this guy decides to open up a nail shop down the street from my friends and starts passing out flyers stating that if they go to his shop and say where they are coming from they will get a big discount.

I have a friend and he owns his own nails shop. A few years ago, he helped his wives uncle who was in Vietnam to come to the United States by singing an affidavit. This family member was living in Massachusetts until his Visa expired and he was arrested and taken to court. After that he bailed out and came to California. Sadly you would think that he would be thankful to my friend but no, to the contrary he decided to open up a nail shop right next to my friends. And to make the matter worst, he distributed flyers telling people that if they came from (X) shop will get a 50% discount the first time of their visit. My friend confronted him and told him to stop and the uncle didn’t care. So now we are looking for the right place where we can report this family member for being in California not only with an expired visa but also with a warrant from Massachusetts.

Your problem is not the immigration service failing to deport the Vietnamese national. Your problem is your friend got out flanked in her business and you two are whining about it.
Go ahead and kick the guy out of the country. What's going to happen when the next Vietnamese family comes along and opens shop where he left? Your friend is going to loose business to them too. Wanna know why?
I have family and many friends who are manicurist (I'm half Viet and was born here). My caucasian manicurists friends are always whining about the Viets and other orientals taking their business, but don't do a damn thing about it. NONE of my caucasian friends do a single bit of advertising because they expect and endless supply of clients to magically show up at their workstation.
When some guy or girl spends $10 on a stack of flyers and starts passing them out in front of your friend's salon, what do you think is going to happen? YOUR FRIEND IS GOING TO LOOSE BUSINESS... It has NOTHING to do with INS, but has EVERYTHING to do with your friend being stupid, lazy or both.
The Vietnamese had it incredibly tough in Vietnam and can be ruthless business people because they had to deal with an incredibly ruthless government. I will assure you that if you succeed in kicking the Viet guy out of the country, dozens of his family will open shop where he was and your friend will be looking for a change in careers.
My advice: Go buy a book on advertising fundamentals or take a business class at night or make your own damn flyer and start passing them out in front HIS business.
I doubt that you will pick me as your best answer, but at least you learned something from my post.

US immigration (part of homeland security) would be the place to contact. Try calling them. However, I doubt if anybody will come and apprehend one person. They are so short handed. You could tell your friend to contact the landlord if they have the same landlord and see if he is aware of his illegal status. He shouldn't be running a business or working at all if he doesn't have proper visa. Try to tell the landlord he might get into trouble if the authority finds out and persuaded him to cancel the lease.

see this is what america THRIVES on. product and demand. You need to mind your own business and next time you want to purchase something really cheap, think about this situation.
he is only doing what is called the american way. Your prices are lower so they come to you. And if you dont like your competition taking all of your customers, then you LOWER YOUR PRICES to match or beat his.
so what you are saying is that if his prices were lower you wouldnt consider calling the immigration department? thats just selfish, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

1. The us almost never pursues anyone like that. they just wait till they are caught again.
2. Immigration don't care.
3. The us gov would rather illegals than its own citizens make money.

Call your local police or sheriff's department. Particularly since he skipped bail.
