The Charlotte Observer
EAST SPENCER, North Carolina -- The small, red-brick house on Division Avenue served as a popular first stop for illegal immigrants in the Charlotte area. Those who went there left with all they needed to start living the American dream.
At a cost of $180, new arrivals could buy a "green card" and Social Security card. They also could pick up a Mexican or N.C. ID.
Customers could expect fast, quality service from Jorge Cruz Torres. He gladly took phone orders. Walk-ins were welcome. He even offered delivery.
