I think you've got it.

[Brett]

Yup, that sounds about right.

Cross the U.S. border illegally you may even end up getting elected to office.

And that is if you cross illegally.  If you come over here legally, it seems I've heard about low or no interest loans to go into business.

Maybe I should move out of the country, change my citizenship, come back and start over. Think what I could save on college tuition alone!

What happens if you go to Canada illegally?
