Nope, if you're an illegal go home, black, white, rich, poor, 2 years old or 80, I don't care, just go home. I don't want to hear your sob story, I'm not interested anymore.
Not that I owe you an answer but I was laughing at how absurd the situation is, complete waste of everyone's time, just get them on the next time plane.
What do you do? And usually it's for the best, take the pay out and move on, ultimately it's only a job and you really shouldn't give a shit, something else will come along.
