A Legal Dilemma
"The way Jaime R. Villagran tells it, to avoid going to jail, he would have had to break one law to obey another.
The Guatemalan native acknowledged that he owed more than $11,000 in child support when he appeared last month in Fairfax County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. But to pay it, Villagran told the judge, he would have to work illegally because he was awaiting permanent residency and work authorization from the U.S. government. He refused to do that."
