Am I mis-reading this??

Florida woman's fight with UPS touches nerve over security level:

"Bustos said she has lived in the United States for 15 years, became a legal resident and received her green card in 2002."

Okay...its 2008, so assuming that she got her green card at the beginning of 2002 ... that was 6 years ago.

So for 9 years she was illegal then?
