A formerly deported illegal immigrant has been convicted of smuggling illegal immigrant workers from Nashville to Florida.

Carlos Alexis Rodriguez-Hernandez, 25, was found guilty Monday in Orlando, Fla., of transporting illegal aliens and illegal re-entry after deportation, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He faces 20 years in prison.

Rodriguez-Hernandez's car was stopped in October near Orlando by immigration officials.

He told them he was paid $300 to take three men from Nashville to Dania Beach, Fla., to find work.
