I have nothing to add….from the Hampton-Roads Pilot<\/p>\n
Thrice-deported immigrant vows he’ll return after prison<\/strong> NORFOLK, Va.<\/p>\n Rolando Mota-Campos, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, has racked up convictions for drunken driving, domestic assault and threatening to cut someone’s head off with a machete. <\/p>\n Yet the 42-year-old scallop boat worker has slipped easily into the country after being deported three times.<\/p>\n He’ll be deported again after serving a 14 1\/2-year federal prison term imposed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, but he has already vowed to sneak back in.<\/p>\n “United States is stupid,” Mota-Campos reportedly told an immigration agent after his latest arrest, court records say. “I come back every time.”<\/p>\n Mota-Campos has skirted the law – and harsh jail terms – until now by using 16 different names and fake identification papers in the 19 years he has lived here on and off.<\/p>\n He claims to have killed someone in a drunken-driving accident in Mexico City and has a tattoo – a teardrop on his left cheek – that indicates ties to the Mexican mafia, according to the court records.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
