Five hundred and ninetieth chapters black households
The wine was Wuliangye, and the paper bag contained two roasted pig trotters and a portion of barbecued pork. Irene probably bought it from other nearby Chinese restaurants.
"This is a good wine. I haven't drunk it in several years. Today I can take advantage of my elder brother and satisfy my craving. Come on, drink some wine!" After seeing the bottle of Wuliangye, the middle-aged man showed a moment of reserve.
There was no more. As soon as the wine glass was filled, he picked it up in a hurry and drank less than half of the glass in one gulp.
"Brother, what's going on when you said you were selling beds? Is there such a thing as ticket sellers or medical services here in the United States?" Hong Tao hasn't had any liquor for more than half a month, and he tastes particularly good when he drinks it.
The fragrance, two people you
I drank one mouthful at a time, chatting and drinking, and soon half a bottle of wine was gone, taking away two pig's trotters and more than half a plate of dumplings. During the intermission, Hong Tao asked about the few words he had just heard.
Come out and chat.
"Hey, big brother, you are the one asking me today. I can't talk to anyone else. Anyway, you are not from here. Chatting with you is just a side dish. Your big brother has been miserable in my life.
Ah!" The middle-aged man's face was already red, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw this
He doesn't drink well either, and he'll probably be drunk if he drinks another 2 taels. But as soon as the alcohol stimulates him, the knot that was weighing on his heart can no longer be suppressed. At this time, what he wants most is an audience, and Hong Tao fits him perfectly.
request, so his valve was opened, and he was out of control.
"A few years ago, I cooperated with others in stock trading in China, but I lost money. I still owe a lot of debt. I am just an ordinary worker. If I can't pay it back, the creditor is chasing me all day long to collect the debt and even comes to my work.
It was so troublesome that I lost my job. But even if my job was gone, I still had to pay off my debts. I was desperate.
At that time, a friend who used to trade stocks with me suddenly found me. He said that he had a way to go to the United States to work illegally for three years. After saving enough money, he could come back and pay off his debts." What the middle-aged man said was quite distant and direct.
Let’s start with the domestic part, but Hong Tao likes it. He likes to hear stories that have a beginning and an end.
"The boat we boarded in Fujian changed from small boat to big one, and then from big boat to bigger one. We wandered on the sea for more than two months, and finally we arrived. Guess where the unscrupulous smuggler sent us?
"The middle-aged man took another sip of wine and asked bitterly.
"I didn't send you to the United States? Are you a liar?" Hong Tao has never been smuggled into the United States, so he doesn't know where he can send you.
"It can't be said that he is a liar. He sent us to Guatemala. If I hadn't smuggled us this time, I wouldn't have known that Guatemala existed in the world!" The middle-aged man didn't know whether he was drunk or emotional.
, the voice also became louder.
"Guatemala? In South America?" Hong Tao knew about the country Guatemala, but he didn't know its exact location, so he could only turn to Irene for help.
"In the south of Mexico, what happened next?" Irene was also addicted. While answering Hong Tao's question, she urged the middle-aged man to continue.
"Later, the trafficker's accomplices took us hiding for more than a month. Each of us only had one piece of bread and a bottle of water every day. There were often more than 20 people living in a small house without a bathroom.
Suddenly one night, he told the big man
My family said that you can have whatever you want for dinner, and there is also broth. At that time, I ate 6 pieces of bread, plus 2 small pots of broth. It was the most delicious meal in my life," said the middle-aged man.
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of barbecued pork, looked at it, and put it down again.
"I know, that smuggler sent you to the border between Mexico and the United States, and you climbed over the barbed wire fence!" Erin suddenly interrupted again, as if she suddenly understood.
"Don't talk nonsense, you will be in trouble if you are overheard." Hong Tao pretended to glare at Irene. He actually knew in his heart that Irene was probably right, but in order not to irritate this man who might be an illegal immigrant, he had to
Make a show of it.
"Your wife is right. It was raining that night and a strong wind suddenly blew. We crawled across the border through the tunnel, then got into a container truck, and were pulled here all the way. At first, I was in a construction team
Work, remove construction debris, the boss is a Taiwanese, work 9 hours a day
hours, with a day off on weekends, and I could earn 60 US dollars a day. When I was in China, I worked in infrastructure construction. After a month, I became a big worker and could earn 200 US dollars a day, in cash, paid once a day or once a week.
"The middle-aged man still feels a little proud when talking about this experience.
"Isn't that great?" Hong Tao did the math and found that the exchange rate in 2008 was about 1 to 7.1. Ten years ago, although the official exchange rate was lower than this, the black market price was higher. This day's salary is basically equal to a lot of money in Beijing.
A good job with a month's salary.
"It was good at the time. I did almost nothing except eat and sleep every day. In one month, I could save 3,000 US dollars except for renting a house and eating. I remitted all of it to my family. Part of it was used to repay the money for smuggling, and part of it was used to pay off debts.
It only took me less than 2 years to pay off all the foreign debts, and I still have some savings." The middle-aged man took out a hand-rolled cannon from his pocket and held it in his mouth.
"Are you okay with this?" Hong Tao was surprised by the man's cannon.
"I'll tell you about this later. In my third year, I feel a little homesick. Although I don't have to worry about food and accommodation here, and as long as you don't cause trouble or break the law, the police won't take the initiative to trouble you, but I go to work, sleep, and go to school every day.
The job was very boring and I didn’t dare to go to places that were too busy. Apart from my colleagues, I didn’t even have any friends, so I asked the Taiwanese boss if there was any way I could apply for a green card.”
"He asked you to find a lawyer to apply for asylum." Irene added another sentence after hearing this.
"Yes, your wife is really smart. My boss said that in my situation, there are only three ways to get a green card. The first is a fake marriage, which is to get married to an American citizen through someone's introduction. After two years, you can get the green card.
I would like to get divorced, but this method is too expensive, at least tens of thousands of dollars, and is not suitable for me.
The second is to wait for amnesty. This doesn't cost a penny, but it's also the most ridiculous. Who knows which president will grant amnesty when he comes to power.
The third is to seek asylum, which roughly means finding a reliable immigration lawyer, and then telling him about your situation, he will make up a story for you based on your conditions, and then prepare relevant supporting materials based on this story.
Apply to the U.S. Immigration Bureau." The middle-aged man looked at Eileen and extended his thumb, indicating that Eileen was smarter and her guess was accurate.
"Hey, she's not smart. She's a lawyer, but she's not an immigration lawyer. Have you applied for asylum?" Hong Tao was a little unconvinced.
"I applied. It took more than three years and cost me more than 9,000 US dollars. In the end, I lost the application and didn't apply. Now I can't even do my original job and have to move." The middle-aged man said about this period.
Zumaicheng also sighed.
"It takes three years to file this kind of lawsuit? The Immigration Bureau won't arrest you?" Hong Tao didn't quite understand what this middle-aged man said. If he lost the lawsuit, then you are an obvious gangster. How can you still be wandering around here with such arrogance?
What? Just move and you’re done? When did the US immigration authorities become so easy to talk to?
"Let your wife tell you. I don't quite understand. Anyway, I appealed three times and lost all." The middle-aged man picked up the wine bottle and poured himself another glass.
"Do you understand what's going on here?" Hong Tao asked Irene again.
"You probably understand. Casey's law firm only accepts cases like this. Although the chance of winning is not high, it is quite profitable." Irene nodded.
"Then tell me what's going on." Once Hong Tao's curiosity aroused, he became more curious than a gossipy middle-aged woman and wanted to know everything.
"It's nothing special. After the immigration lawyer applies for asylum to the immigration bureau, he will make an appointment for the client to meet and talk with the immigration officer. The immigration officer will ask some questions. If you can convince the immigration officer, let him believe that you are telling the story.
story, then you can directly get the A5 card, which is your temporary green card." When Irene said this, she pointed at Hong Tao's pocket.
"What if the lie is not made up?" Hong Tao asked again.
"That would be a bit troublesome. The Immigration Bureau will take you to court." Irene spread her hands.
"Aren't you just looking for trouble for yourself? Just apply for 9,000 US dollars?" Hong Tao said this to the middle-aged man. In his opinion, the money was too good to earn.
"No, this is when your lawyer officially comes to help you with the lawsuit. In court, he will try his best to present all kinds of evidence to prove that the lies you made up are true." Irene continued.
"What if we lose?" Hong Tao began to argue.
"It doesn't matter if you lose, you can appeal. You can appeal 3 times in total. During this period, the court will issue you a temporary identity. With this temporary identity certificate, you can legally live in the United States, buy cars, and do business. You should continue to
I have a social security number and a work card. The appeal process is very slow, and it took several years." Erin talked about legal issues so eloquently that she didn't even have to think about it. It seems that her basic skills are quite solid.
, is a good material for becoming a lawyer.
"This is not appropriate. There will always be a time when it can't be pushed on any longer. What if we lose all the appeals?" Hong Tao still doesn't give up. He thinks that the American judges won't be so stupid.
"It doesn't matter if you lose everything. The judge will issue an order for you to leave the country within 30 days in court, but you don't have to obey it. You are already a gangster. Once you move your home, there will be no place for the bailiffs and the immigration bureau to find you.
After three years, your application materials will be cancelled, and then you can find an immigration lawyer, rewrite a story, change a city, and then apply for asylum." Erin told the whole story again, even after three years.
Everything after that was said.
