Missing important information: how did she get to the US? If legally, how did she manage to get a visa? If illegally, is INS enforcement really so lax nowadays that she's happy to give her real name and place of employment to the LA Times?

Otherwise, fairly dull and lacking in surprises.

It said she visited on a vacation when she met her husband. It also said she was a home owner, and had kids in college. Given the timeline, her legality is not really an issue.

You're right it's not the best article. But the point of the article was to profile what kinds of jobs tourism brings. Which in Los Angeles, is a very hot issue.

"First in a series profiling people working in Southern California's No. 1 industry."
