The Virginian-Pilot
NORFOLK, Virginia -- Rolando Mota-Campos, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, has racked up convictions for drunken driving, domestic assault and threatening to cut someone's head off with a machete.
Yet the 42-year-old scallop boat worker has slipped easily into the country after being deported three times.
He'll be deported again after serving a 14 1/2-year federal prison term imposed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, but he has already vowed to sneak back in.
"United States is stupid," Mota-Campos reportedly told an immigration agent after his latest arrest, court records say. "I come back every time."
Mota-Campos has skirted the law - and harsh jail terms - until now by using 16 different names and fake identification papers in the 19 years he has lived here on and off.
