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.
Look at all of the cowboy bigots in here!
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 !!
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.
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.
