Heck, when Connie and I went down to the Garlits Museum trip, we stayed in the area below Orlando at a Microtel. When we went up to our room, there were about 20 Mexicans (looked like some sort of work crew) who came up to the third floor via the stairway. You KNOW what was going on there, right? Yep! One rented the room for a single person, and the other 19 snuck in to sack out in that room for the night.

My father has to deal with this all the time, usually a white crew leaders son will come up and rent the place, and week later there are 20 illegal living in a 2 bedroom.

Right now most of you know that Greg and I have lovely neighbors like this that throw huge parties in huge numbers with a disco ball and all on little holidays like Christmas eve, and the place of residence is so crowded that the little laqwnmover sheds are now homes and fit three to four each!

Your lucky if you only have one nieghbor like that! I thought everyone living in Florida was like me,I have 2 or 3 like that! Call code enforcement they say nothing we can do.Call your Senators, they want to give them Amnesty, call your representative and he never answers in any way. We as Americans are screwed...We all need to burn our social security cards and start speaking Spanish...

Just get 2 of your buddies, (get 1 an Immigration and Naturalization Service uniform and the other one a Border Patrol uniform), and then take them with you to collect the rent. My guess is that you won't have to say anything, and that you'll never see them again. I don't like the situation either, but until we get some people with cajones in DC, we're stuck with it! Sad but true?????

The best thing to do if you can't cofirm that they are legal is don't rent to them.The list of reason to not rent to them would be to long to list.But if they cannot find jobs or housing they will go back where they came from.As the economy slows hopefully a lot of them will do just that.
