Thread: Illegal Immigrant Gets 12 Years On Weapons Charges

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A Mexican national in the United States illegally was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for two drug- and firearms-related charges.

Salvador Garcia-Chavez, 22, was sentenced to more than seven years for possession of firearms and ammunition as and illegal alien and another five years for possession of firearms in relation to a drug trafficking crime.

South Carolina U.S. Attorney Walt Wilkins said that investigators searched Garcia-Chavez's home in Greenville last July.

During the search, agents seized 10 firearms, ammunition and about a pound of methamphetamine.

Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the State Law Enforcement Division as well as Greenville County Sheriff's deputies investigated the case, Wilkins said.

I agree! Fair is fair, and NO American who committed these crimes would get a slap on the wrist. Well, except a politician or big business.

Get caught in Mexico with 10 guns and ammo and you would be a very old man when you got out of jail if you lived that long
