She is an illegal immigrant, who had an anchor baby, who engaged in chain migration. Hilarious.

Yes, it's well known that the FBI deploys teams of agents to downvote comments on posts on HN.
It's definitely not that most people think this kind of talk is insane. Definitely not that. It's the FBI.

I'd like to hear more about the armed robbery that got him 25 years in prison. Wonder why the article is so light on details in that area.
