KJ,
If you're going to honor a South Floridian as immigrant of the Day, at least don't pick a person who thinks ethics rules don't apply to him.

My nominee from South Florida for immigrant of the day is my wife, Leonita.(born in the Philippines) The most caring person I ever met, and that doesn't just apply towards me. If she ever makes the news, it won't be for getting a freebie car from an auto dealership.
Cheers,
Bill
