CEDAR RAPIDS – A man who illegally re-entered the United States after being deported was sentenced July 14, 2015, to 16 months in federal prison.
Jose Alejandro Vasquez-Pacheco, age 33, an illegal alien from Mexico living in Mount Vernon, Iowa, received the prison term after an April 23, 2015, guilty plea to one count of illegally reentering the United States after having been deported following a felony conviction.
The evidence showed that Vasquez-Pacheco was convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated in 2003, and twice in 2007. He violated the terms of his state probation and a warrant was issued for his arrest in 2008. Vasquez- Pacheco was deported to Mexico on August 8, 2009, and again on August 13, 2009. He again illegally re-entered the United States in August 2010. On March 17, 2015, Vasquez-Pacheco was arrested by immigration officers in Mount Vernon, Iowa.
Vasquez-Pacheco was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Chief Judge Linda R. Reade. He was sentenced to sixteen months’ imprisonment. A special assessment of $100 was imposed. He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Vasquez-Pacheco is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
I agree that illegal immigrants should go through proper channels to gain entry. But your murderous comments show your deep seeded bigotry and hatred towards people just looking for a better opportunity. Much in the same way your ancestors were looking for a better life as well. This jump to violence from the conservative base is frightening. As the world moves further and further away from conservatism, more home grown terrorists like yourselves will start acting on those impulses. You guys are frightening.
It is called defending your family and country. Something pacifist know nothing about.
You say that like pacifist is bad word? Defending your country against what? Immigrants? Have you ever read The New Colossus? It’s on a plaque attached to the Statue of Liberty, one of the greatest symbols of America. You sir, are not a true American.
You are the one who is not a true American. They are not immigrants fool. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. A immigrant apply for immigration and follows the law. They are criminals and should be treated as such. Their first act was in our country was to break our laws. You should be run out of our country for your traitorist thoughts. Pacifist are sissy;’s and are most of what is wrong with this country today. They are cowards of the worst sort.
Typical war mongering racist republitard. I’m sure now you’ll try and convince everyone you’re “independent” again. LOL.
Just because you are a traitor and have no American values doesn’t mean I don’t. You are so dumb you just can’t get it through your head that Independents can pick and choose the best of all party’s. You kool aid drinkers are just not bright enough to do that. Sheeple like you are cowards and traitors.
LOL at my comments being deleted. How dare I attack LVS on NIT! He does nothing but attack people all day long. This website and its editor are almost as shitty as Mason City.
People like you are afraid of your shadow and for good reason. All cowards are.
Look at all of the cowboy bigots in here!
The names, Allen. I’m a voting, tax paying American. I, and a lot of people like me want to keep the south of the border vermin out of this country, evidently for reasons you don’t understand. I am not unfairly picking on these people, they brought the trouble on themselves, and that doesn’t make me a bigot. They would rather turn this land into a third world country then leave it. My children and grand children have a right to a descent life, as we know it now, and that won’t happen in a third world country.
And as for cowboys, I kind of like them. They are/were real men, tried and tested in the wild west. Something city folk could never do. They told it like it was, and did what had to be done. It would be nice to have them around now so the could exterminate the thieving vermin that are sneaking into this country now. One of the most famous cowboys once said, “make my day”.
The amount of money it costs this country is crazy !! Our veterans suffer from poor care as we deal with an open border !!
Vote Trump !!
Agreed
With Sheriff Joe as vice prez….
The government should implant an explosive tracking chip in their heads. Send them back to wherever they cam from, if they cross the border again, the chip explodes.
@Allen-I like the way you think.
Just shoot him and save the cost of deporting him.
Why the H should the tax payers support him in prison—SEND HIM BACK—-IF HE SHOWS UP HERE AGAIN—SHOOT HIM!!!!!
Another one that doesn’t know the meaning of KEEP OUT.
