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?

you should tell us which station it is so we can call them up and tell them what a slime ball that guy is for not allowing her to claim her car. I don't see what INS has to do with her claiming a prize that she won fair and square and beside if they had a heart they'd know that the US is the best place for her right now as she battles this cancer. In response to blonde saying that the woman had enough time to apply to become a US citizen well I guess you don't know anything about immigration law because she would have to become a legal resident for at least 5 yrs before she can qualify to become a US citizen. As for the baby being disqualified, what does the baby have to do with the parent? maybe you should try visiting some countries around the world or try learning about them before waving a war on illegal immigrants. I am lucky enough to be an American but as someone who have traveled enough, met enough people to know that being ignorant to the plight of these immigrants would be a crime in itself.

She isn't eligible for the car. They threatened to call immigration on her because she is trying to sue.
In the article I read, it said the radio station is required by law to get a valid Social Security number or tax identification number from all winners of prizes worth more than $500. If she doesn't have one then she can't win the prize. Its that simple.
I hope they find her and she gets deported. Everything in this country is for citizens and legal residents. Illegals are entitled to nothing.

If the rules state prize to be awarded to a LEGAL United States citizen, both are in their rights to not award the prize to two illegal immigrants. Their status in this Country lead to not being awarded the prize. They never should have entered any kind of contest having no right to be in this country.
These illegals should be in hiding from immigration people. They are breaking the law.

No. It should be for a US citizen or a Green Card holder. It's about time somebody reminded these people they're here illegally.
PS. The story in the new says the contest required the winner to be a US citizen or permanent resident.

I say they tell her there gonna award her the car and when she shows up to pick it up they have ICE waiting to ship her and her ILLEGAL Anchor babies back where they belong. And then Donate the money from the sell of the car to the families of the TWO US border patrol agents currently being held in prison for doing there jobs SHOOTING an ILLEGAL in the Rear end.

She was present at the drawing and she should get the car. The lawyer is a scumbag for making a threat like that which I have no doubt was made strictly for publicity.
