Mexican Invasion Title: Colombian Gets 29 Days for Transporting 2 Mexicans Who Entered U.S. Illegally by Boat—from Canada Here is the statement explaining the case that was released by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York: The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Grant C. Jaquith and Chief Patrol Agent John C. Pfeifer, United States Border Patrol, Swanton Sector. As part of his guilty plea, Granados-Betancourt admitted that on July 7, 2017, he drove a rental car to the Akwesasne reservation in Hogansburg, New York, where he picked up the two Mexican citizens and drove them to Ellenburg, New York. Acting on a civilian tip, Border Patrol stopped the car and arrested the three men. The Mexican citizens, who crossed from Canada into the United States by boat, were Granados-Betancourt’s acquaintances and he agreed to bring them to New York City. The Mexican citizens, Marcelo Chavez-Vera and Carlos Olivar-Varon, were each convicted on July 20 of illegal entry, a misdemeanor. Granados-Betancourt was in the United States on a visitor’s visa. Following his sentencing, he was remanded to the custody of the Department of Homeland Security for removal proceedings. This case was investigated by the United States Border Patrol and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Collyer. Poster Comment: Times are tough at the border when the Mexicans have to start invading us from Canada.

Times are tough when you can't give your friends a ride from one town to another. If I were to come to your country and pick up some hitchhikers would I be guilty of a crime? These people were already across the border so does he need to know their residency status before giving them a ride, or, is he guilty of something else, such as people smuggling?

If I were to come to your country and pick up some hitchhikers would I be guilty of a crime? If it were done in a planned effort to aid and abet your acquaintances in their unlawful actions, you could also wind up pleading guilty and get deported. It was a planned effort, not a happenstance. Granados-Betancourt was turned over for deportation.

#4. To: nolu chan (#3) guilt by association, insufficient facts
#5. To: paraclete (#4) guilt by association, insufficient facts He's a human trafficker and will be deported. He directly and knowingly aided persons who were entering the country illegally. I think he should serve some time in a federal penitentiary first. But at least he's gone.
