I met a con artist....

It's been a long time since I posted and I've had some friends hound me to post on a more regualar basis. It's amazing that we talk about immigration and illegal immigration but we really can't even get a handle on our own citizens!! Case in point, I recently met a gentleman through an acquaintance, who lives in the Caribbean. He proceeded to impress me with his intellect, business acumen and culinary skills. Wow, was I impressed....so, we promised to keep in touch. We were emailing and calling each other on a regular basis and all of a sudden I ran into one of his in-laws who basically told me that he moved to the Caribbean to avoid paying child support for his children and he had squandered away thousands of dollars of his inheritance. I also found out that contrary to what he had told me, he didn't have a bank account...nor any credit cards so that no one can track him down (he told me he was a victim of identity theft) I also found out that he usually associates himself with women who have resources or access to resources....and I thought wow I just met a modern day, educated con man who swindles people out of their money....creates babies...and doesn't support them. In fact, his oldest kids were raised on welfare. Now, if we can't deport people back to the U.S. so that they can get jailed for something like this, how the hell do we think that we can actually control illegal immigration...
