Illegal or not, thats not a reason to keep ~$60 grand just because. To me, thats just being a bully. Thats like walking down the street and some one just kicks your ass and takes your life savings and tells you to keep walking. Wtf does it have to do with being illegal or not. Its just not right. It's straight up earned money that has been saved. When they realized that it was hard honest earned money, they should have just fined, cited, warned, jailed, whatever, and when he gets deported, give him back his money.
