    A gaping hole

    These immigrants slipped through the net before being tagged in prison for deportation:

    Omar Marquez-Castañeda



    A legal permanent resident of the U.S., Omar Marquez-Castañeda, 30, faces trial in Adams County in the stabbing death of his ex-wife's boyfriend last year.

    Marquez-Castañeda's conviction on drug charges in 2002 could have prompted his deportation to Mexico. It didn't.

    After Denver police found crack cocaine in his car during a traffic stop, he was given a two-year deferred sentence for possession with intent to distribute drugs.

    If he stayed out of trouble, the conviction would be dropped from his record. It was, although he was cited five times for violations of his deferred sentence and spent one to three days in jail each time, court documents say.

    On May 19, 2005, Marquez-Castañeda got into a fight with Javier Valverde, 31, over how he was treating Marquez-
    Castañeda's ex-wife, Angela Flood, court records say. Marquez-Castañeda stabbed Valverde and fled, records say.

    Wheat Ridge police arrested him on June 9, 2005, when he and two others were caught breaking into two vehicles and stealing stereos, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Francisco Cardoza



    Francisco Cardoza already had served a one-year deferred sentence for theft and one year of parole for driving while intoxicated when he and two other men went on a crime spree the night of Oct. 7, 2000, in Denver, according to court records.

    They committed three carjackings, wounded one car owner and shot at another. Police arrested Cardoza, then 20, at 4:30 a.m. after spotting him in one of the stolen cars.

    Court records show he entered the U.S. from Mexico when he was 11 years old. His immigration status could not be determined. He is serving a 32-year sentence for the carjackings. No immigration case has been filed against him.

    Julio Vielma-Mendoza



    Not until he was caught with a stolen pickup truck after leading police on a chase did Julio Vielma-Mendoza, 28, get tagged by immigration officials in 2004 for possible deportation to Mexico.

    He had been charged with domestic violence three times in Adams County between 2001 and 2003, all involving the same woman.

    He received 12 months probation in 2001 for screaming and shoving a telephone at her. Less than a year later in July 2002, he was arrested for striking her in the shoulder and threatening her with a knife while six children were at the Thornton home. He failed to appear at a hearing in October 2002.

    The woman called Thornton police a third time in October 2003 when Vielma-Mendoza, who had been drinking, yanked the telephone out of the wall and put her in a headlock when she asked him to leave. Two of her sons freed her, and Vielma-Mendoza fled before police arrived. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail last year for domestic violence and a year for the auto theft. He told police he came to the Denver area in 1999 and worked as a day laborer. His legal status could not be determined.

    These are simply more blatant examples of why we don't need (MOD EDIT) here...and to think that Fox of Mexico wants us to treat his citizens "fairly" while they commit crimes here and the Mexican government hypocritically functions in the exact opposite direction.
