Why Not Deportation?!

The Yakima Herald Republic ran an article on Joseph Anderson Evans Sr., aka Roman Ceniceros-Mora, stating this Mexican national had been lying and cheating our system for 20 years and finally been caught and convicted.  But what is the punishment?  Eight years in prison, three years probation, and $155,000 restitution payment.

But nowhere is there any mention of this illegal alien being deported.  Why?!

For me, the key here is 'probation'.  A deported person couldn't be on probation.  We are going to allow an illegal alien... not just an illegal alien, but a illegal alien with additional convictions of fraud, stay after his sentence to be on probation?

And what were the exact crimes? 

• Social Security fraud
• 20 counts of Food Stamp fraud
• Illegally receiving $128,000 in disability assistance
• Illegally receiving $27,000 in state medical aid and food assistance.
• False claims of U.S. Citizenship
• Making a false statement on a Passport application.

But it gets better.  Roman had been previously convicted for sneaking into the U.S. and committing other immigration violations throughout the 70s and 80s.  This guy applied for a Social Security card just one week after federal authorities had deported him in 1990.

And the icing on the cake:  He claimed to be a disabled Marine who saw combat in Vietnam and was awarded a Purple Heart.

So maybe a future deportation was just overlooked and/or omitted from the article.  Let's hope so!

But another item that should really concern people is the amount of abuse this illegal alien piled on our social services system.  THIS is a PROBLEM!  This is why we need to stop illegal immigration AND require proof of citizenship before allowing ANYONE to receive a social service.
