Some "crimmigrants" pose difficult questions

DALLAS — Diones Graciano-Navarro has been arrested at least 40 times in four states.

His rap sheet began with charges of loitering in New York City in 1975. In New Jersey, he graduated to fraud. By 1988, he was in California. He was charged with obtaining money by fraud or trickery. Later came cocaine possession.

The Dominican Republic native was deported twice. But he slipped back into the U.S., settling in North Texas, where in 2004 he started collecting DWI and marijuana charges.

Almost half of the nearly 393,000 immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement who were deported last fiscal year had criminal records.

But Graciano-Navarro, 63, is not the best poster child for the Obama administration’s recent victory laps over increased deportation of criminal aliens who shouldn’t have been in the U.S. in the first place.

Instead, the Graciano-Navarro case highlights the difficulty of keeping “crimmigrantsâ€

Like we are really going to see even a penny of that $250,000.00

The only way to get that money is if he had a winning lotto ticket in his pocket when he was arrested.

I like the new term "crimmigrants".
