Since when does "if you read between the lines" mean "infer the exact opposite of what the author stated"? The author wrote that his father ended up being a key witness to convict Daniel Lee.
The story clearly states that the green cards were legally obtained through the father's work (see fourth paragraph).
- jquery 11y agoSounds like his father had a lot of interaction with Daniel Lee. "Everyone in here is innocent, you know that?" - Red, The Shawshank Redemption EDIT: Can't reply to the child comment. But we only have one side of the story here. At best it seems his father was a fool and it's hard to trust the word of a fool.
- jacobolus 11y agoNew immigrants who don’t know how to navigate a complex and hostile legal system are a pretty ripe customer base for fraudsters. Just because a scheme seems to a knowledgeable observer to be too good to be true doesn’t make it okay to blame the victims of such frauds.
- jquery 11y agoVictim of fraud or not, how should the INS have handled it differently? If someone at your company is found trading job offers to unqualified people for money, should those unqualified people keep the jobs? Of course not. What if those unqualified people used an intermediary to proffer the bribe? Doesn't change anything. Sad story all around for the victim of fraud. That's why they are called a victim. Being a victim sucks and is nothing to be proud of.
