There's no money to pay the rent, which Is two weeks late, and those neighbors are supplying an expectant mother and her four children with groceries because the family doesn't qualify for food stamps or any other federal assistance programs. The woman and her children are illegal aliens from Mexico who want to settle In the United States. The mother wants to give her children a chance at a better life than they would have in Mexico.

The family arrived In Casper about two months ago In an effort to escape an even worse situation In Texas. The three bags of clothing they brought with them contained all their belongings. A NEIGHBOR contacted the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) In Denver to see If they could help. The INS told her they'd come to Casper and pick the family up If they were making trouble. Otherwise It would be several months before the INS team has scheduled a swing through Casper to collect and deport Illegal aliens.

The 29-year-old mother, Angela Miranda, says she will only go back to Mexico If she finds she can't make a living here. It Is difficult enough now because she's got no one to take care of her four children, who range In age from three to nine years. A fifth child Is due to be born In less than two weeks. Her children are picking up English from their playmates. Their mother knows no English but has completed 17 years of school in Mexico.

She was just months from completing her college degree when she quit to get married. The Star-Tribune interviewed her Tuesday, using one of her neighbors, Guadalupe Price, as a translator. MRS. MIRANDA Isn't asking for much, Mrs. Price said.

Miranda left the three older children with her family In Guadalajara and, while she was working, had her youngest son with her In the U.S. In Texas she met an American who promised to marry her.
