Immigration officer sought cash, sex to halt deportations, feds say by Tim Darragh



      Arnaldo Echevarria was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. He was letting immigrants stay in the United States with a legal working permit. He was bribed by seven  illegal immigrants and was paid $78,000. He as allowed some of the women to bribe him with sex. On of the women that had sex with him became pregnant and she did not want to abort the baby, even though he wants her to. He had made a salon for her to work in, he paid people in cash. He was taking advantage of his authority and was let people bribe him. He is in jail for 15 years and a $250,000 fine. 
This kind of thing should not happen because it can affect people. Even though he helped, he did it in a bad way. He had sex with women and got paid from people. He took advantage that illegal immigrants are desperate and scared of being deported. He used his authority to “help” those people. If he wanted to help them, he would have done something legally. He now affected the people’s life because they were illegally given aid to stay in the U.S. There should be help for illegal immigrants, but it should be legally done so that it doesn’t affect someone negatively during the process.
