    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
