"Give Me Your Tired, Your Filthy Stinking Rich. . ."

From The Federalist Patriot:

. . .this month's "Legal Lotto" Award is bestowed upon a Bronx day laborer who was injured on the job in 2001. The Bronx Superior Court recently awarded $4 million to the worker. Problem is, he's an illegal immigrant, living in the Bronx with his wife and three kids. Apparently, the man worked for 15 years, most recently making $18/hour off the books, before sustaining severe injuries by falling from a scaffold.

Wow, so that's what they mean by a "legal windfall."

Just file this under the "Stupid Is As Stupid Does" category.
