A Mexican national has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for re-entering the country after being deported more than 20 years ago, officials said.

Lorenzo Morales-Arambula was also sentenced in federal court in Detroit to 46 months in prison, plus two years of supervised release, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Officials said Morales has a criminal history that includes convictions for marijuana distribution, cocaine possession and trafficking charges and distribution of methamphetamine in 1984.

He also has been sentenced to more than 27 years in prison in Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas for those charges and others, including possession of a machine gun and causing mutiny or riot at a federal correction facility, they said.

In April 1997, an immigration judge ordered Morales removed from the United States after being released from prison on the firearms and drug possession charges. He illegally re-entered the country three months later, according to officials.

Morales was convicted of additional narcotics charges and illegal re-entry.

United States Border Patrol agents from the Detroit Station arrested him in January after Redford Township Police officers came across him while investigating a traffic accident, the agency said.

No visitors except via Skype then deport him again with a Chip!

Even prison does not keep these invaders out.

Military to the border! Our country has been and is being invaded.

I believe the thought of prison does deter many illegals that come here with the primary motive of working to support their family (prison prevents them from supporting said family). However, for the hardened criminal type that specifically come here to prey on people through criminal activity, not so much. The U.S. is a 'rich in target' environment for those in the drug trade.

I definitely agree on the prison once they are in, but we have got to keep them out! Prisons are full, Judges turn them loose, then there is the expense. Stop them at the border!

I have no problem sending our active duty military to the border, however, I don't believe such a task, even though needed, is going to happen. First off, Trump doesn't have the cojones to make such a move without congressional approval. Unfortunately, the Democrats would never approve such a move and we have too many moderates Republicans that would go along with them.

So it's not that I don't agree with you, Beezer, Judy, and whoever else is advocating to have our active duty military 'locked and loaded' on the border, I just don't see it happening.
