Instead of filing for unemployment benefits on Tuesday, maybe Cousin Jethro can open an office as an Immigration Lawyer. How about both! What a country, oh well happy Memorial Day everyone.

WEST PALM BEACH — At least one client raved about Levy Garcia-Crespo.
“This is the best lawyer!!!!!!!!!” she wrote in an online review.
“This attorney saved my husband from being deported. Attorney Crespo is a blessing from God.”
While Garcia-Crespo might be heaven sent, prosecutors said Friday, he isn’t a lawyer.
A day after dozens of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided his home and office, Garcia-Crespo, 34, was charged Friday with a complicated felony that essentially accuses him of impersonating a lawyer.
At a hearing in U.S. District Court, prosecutors said he filed 3,000 false immigration forms, allowing illegal immigrants to get driver licenses. He also represented clients in court.
He did so, investigators said, using the name of real attorney Gerald Salerno.
Salerno, a former assistant state attorney, didn’t return several calls for comment. It appears he and Garcia-Crespo shared an office in Palm Way Professional Centre on Forest Hill Boulevard.
