Sex offender listed on registry 9 times before action is taken

Jaime Rodriguez made 22 trips to the Weld County Jail, including nine times to register as a sex offender, before he was deported to Mexico in 2004. His crimes ranged from traffic offenses to attempted sexual assault on a child.

Rodriguez, 32, entered the U.S. when he was 2 months old. He declined to comment, but his mother, Felipa Rodriguez, said she sneaked him across the Mexican border into El Paso, Texas.

The young mother had made a heart-wrenching decision that she could take only one of her two children with her. She left her toddler daughter with relatives, hoping to give her son a better life.

It didn't work out that way.

Rodriguez grew up in Weld County, applied for and was granted legal permanent residency and graduated from Valley High School in Gilcrest. He spoke so little Spanish he sometimes had to use his younger brother as a translator when he talked to his mother, she said.

His criminal history goes back to 1997 when he was arrested twice on domestic-violence charges, which can be grounds for deportation.

In 2000, when he was 26, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the attempted sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl in La Salle, near Greeley. He was given a deferred sentence, but it was revoked in 2002 after he missed treatment classes and was involved in a third domestic-violence assault against his girlfriend.

In 2003, he was sentenced to a year in prison after another domestic-violence arrest involving his new wife. In prison, he finally came to the attention of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and he was deported in July 2004 to Mexico.

"For him to be in (Mexico) where he didn't speak the language or know anything about it was very difficult," Felipa Rodriguez said.

Jaime Rodriguez stayed in Mexico with relatives, though he did not meet the sister who had been left behind. The child who had missed out on what was supposed to be the land of opportunity had earned her business degree in Mexico.

Rodriguez came back into the U.S. after only three months, his mother said. With his flawless English and a legitimate U.S. identification card, Rodriguez easily crossed the border between Juarez and El Paso. Two months later, he was arrested in La Salle on charges of misdemeanor child abuse involving his 18-month-old daughter.

After serving his 180-day jail term, he was turned over to ICE and charged in U.S. District Court with illegally re-entering the United States. He pleaded guilty and will be sentenced this month. He is expected to be deported again after serving his sentence.

People like that need to be locked up for life. Preferably in a Mexican prison where they lock the door and throw away the key.

That is a fine immigrant! Family Values Leave a kid behind and burp out an anchor baby. Then the rapist son has multiple wives.

Yea, we need more illegal aliens in this country.

I think she picked the wrong child to take with her This guy is the poster child for exactly what we do not want in this country. Nine times before anyone thinks of deporting him? Our law enforcement system is so broken that we may never possibly recover. And they want to give all illegals amnesty including the hundreds of thousand of illegals like this guy here. These people are nuts.
