Tennessee --- With back-to-back hearings Monday involving illegal immigrants whose crimes included more than just sneaking across the border, forgive this federal judge for blowing his top.
"I mean stay out of here," Senior U.S. District Court Judge James H. Jarvis blasted from the bench, his voice raised and his tone frustrated, as he sentenced an admitted illegal immigrant smuggler.
"If you're legal, you are welcome," Jarvis told Vicente Miguel-Velasco. "Don't you come back here illegally."
Miguel-Velasco's track record made Jarvis' warning sound a bit hollow. After all, he has crossed the Mexican border illegally at least twice and has been deported at least once already.
