Two illegal aliens from Mexico were in federal court in Pittsburgh last week on charges of violating immigration laws, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
A grand jury indicted Maximino Robledo-Vazquez, 30, on charges of illegally entering the country for the third time since 2005. Prosecutors said they found him in May in Clarion County. He faces up to two years in prison if convicted.

Ismael Ramirez-Flores, 38, pleaded guilty and was ordered deported for entering the country illegally for the second time since 2004, the U.S. Attorney's office said. He was found in the area on May 14, after having been deported in 2004

I thought it was considered a felony offense the second time you crossed our borders illegally. (?) It should be a felony the first time and in view of 9/11 I'm surprised it's not.
