I imagine when he is able to return to the states he will be able to get a job in a related field.

They really don't like it when a police officer lies on his employment application. I imagine quite a few do lie on them though.

Don't think he will ever be allowed to return after this has happened.

Legally, probably not allowed to return. But he may be able to go the traditional route.

I think the linked article mentioned a ten year wait til he can come back.

In May, acting on an anonymous tip, immigration agents arrested him on charges of falsely representing himself as a citizen. He pleaded guilty, and is now permanently barred from the United States.

Yes, I see now, he COULD have had legal status in ten years.

But now, never.

Ahhhhh, the impatience of youth. Ten years seemed a lifetime, I am sure.

Well, The bigger question is; What do you think the future holds for the people who approved his application, allowed him to move up to the next steps, through training, and into duty? Without ever having checked to see if he was even a legal citizen to begin with..? I would think that they would actually be in more trouble than he is..

I would think it depends on whether they could say "I followed the steps laid out in the guidelines to the letter" or not. If they did, I don't think it will help their careers but it might not be too bad for them.

Actually the way he did it would be pretty tough to detect I would think.....although at age 16 (I think) there would be folks around who knew about it and so eventually (they probably had a beef with the officer) they squealed. The way a lot of crimes get solved.

I don't feel sorry for him one little bit. It may not have been his fault for coming here in the first place but it was his fault for not trying to become a legal citizen, he had 16 years to figure it out. My only regret is that he and his family were not caught and deported 16 years ago.

The whole "illegal immigrants rights" movement just makes me sick. They worry more about the health of criminals than our own people.

I have zero sympathy for illegal immigrants.

I think its a pity, he seems like a good person. If I were him I would apply for citizenship in some other country, maybe Canada, to get out of ****hole Mexico, even if it takes a few years.

Why doesn't Mexico have any Olympic teams.....?





Because all the ones that can run, jump, or swim, are over here in the states....
