BUSTED: Illegal Alien Wins Jackpot at Arizona Casino, Then Deported to Mexico

Posted: 04 Jan 2013 08:38 PM PST

An illegal alien was busted after winning the slots jackpot at a Tuscon casino – and then deported.  Mirna Valenzuela –  a Mexican illegal who had been previously deported multiple times -  won $1,200 last month at Casino del Sol Resort. But instead of collecting her slot-machine winnings, Valenzuela was deported – and didn’t take a penny of her winnings with her.

Federal law requires casinos to ask for identification for tax purposes whenever someone wins a jackpot of $1,200 or more. Casino officials questioned the ID that Valenzuela showed them on Dec. 3 as potentially fraudulent. Because the casino is on tribal land, officials called Pascua Yaqui police, who determined that Valenzuela and her daughter Zamira Osorio were illegal aliens from Mexico. So, they turned both over to the U.S. Border Patrol, which deported Valenzuela.

The daughter Osorio was released thanks to Barack Obama’s “deferred-action” amnesty program – which he has enacted via executive order in violation of Federal law – because she apparently entered the U.S. as a minor more than 5 years ago.

And, as we have come to expect, Osorio is as arrogant as most such “Dreamers”, who routinely demand that their repeated law breaking be ignored and that any enforcement against them or their families is “racism”:

“If they don’t want anybody illegally there, they should put up a sign that says that they don’t want anybody who’s illegal , you know, playing at the casino,” Osorio said, adding, “This is really unfair. We feel really discriminated (against) . … This is the first time I got arrested in my whole entire life.”

You can’t make this stuff up: the casino should put up a sign saying they don’t want to serve law-breakers? Classic illegal alien arrogance.

The casino, being located near Tuscon – the most lax enforcer of S.B. 1070 in Arizona – was quick to backtrack, almost pathetically apologizing for the incident:

“It’s not our policy to report people unless they’ve committed a serious crime,” said Wendell Long, chief executive officer of Casino del Sol Resort. “A large portion of our business is Mexican-Americans and Mexicans from Sonora…. We’re not here to deport people. ”

Fortunately Tribal authorities didn’t have the same contempt for S.B. 1070 and Federal immigration laws and immediately called Border Patrol, who did their job well and deported Valenzuela back to the only place she legally belongs – Mexico

Valenzuela’s winnings, meanwhile, are still at the casino. She’ll have to claim them in person with a valid ID, Long said.
