A federal jury in Tucson ruled Tuesday that an Arizona rancher did not violate the civil rights of 16 Mexican nationals he stopped after they sneaked illegally into the United States, but awarded $78,000 in actual and punitive damages on claims of assault and the infliction of emotional distress.
One of the 16 illegal immigrants allowed to bring the lawsuit is a convicted felon deported from the U.S. after a 1993 arrest on federal drug charges, court records show. Gerardo Gonzalez, 38, was convicted in September 1993 of possession of a controlled substance for sale and ordered deported to his home country.

$78000.
That will certainly teach the illegals not to sneak into America.
I have been doing a study on the translation
price we (the American Citizens) pay to make
sure (non English speakers or even people who are "more comfortable in their own language"
So we the American paid for the lawyers and
the interpreters to sue this poor man.
