    The man committed tax fraud to the tune of $30k. That’s not nothing, but when you hear that Trump paid nothing in taxes for years and that his “charitable” foundation was shuttered because of abuse of tax law, you sort of wonder whether the government has the right priorities.

    Just kidding, of course this man was just another notch in the quota collection bin. I am sure the ICE officers got a tiny chubby when they heard the words, “probation officer,” as that meant they could detain and deport.

    I can see stories like this deterring snowbirds from crossing the Canadian/American border next Winter.

    Maybe the US will become a fly-over country and they’ll head to Central America.

        I have family that are still snowbirding even now. Its wild and arrogant but I guess that is also why they like hanging out in Florida in the first place.

    I just don’t get it man. I live in Florida and see Canadian plates on cars all the time. Why would you come down here? Especially here! You’re just toying with fate.

      Why would you come down here?

      Because we let all the Boomers win the real estate lottery tax free. They only come back for the healthcare they don’t pay for.

      It’s the could not be me or my family, it’s those “other people” I thought would be deported mentality. Entitled legends in their own minds.

      It’s a big club, and they think they are in it… but then they find out they aren’t.

      They will clean out his wallet at the prison and drain his accounts with the legal system, dont worry. No freedom dollars will leave the motherland.
