We have previously discussed how some criminal cases highlight the porous border that we share with Mexico. The most recent example is Tomas Martinez-Maldonado, 38, who is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl. Martinez-Maldonado has been deported 10 times and voluntarily removed from the U.S. another nine times since 2003.
Martinez-Maldonado is accused of raping the girl on Sept. 27 attack aboard a Greyhound bus to Kansas. He has two prior misdemeanor convictions for entering without legal permission in cases prosecuted in 2013 and 2015 in U.S. District Court of Arizona. He was sentenced to serve 60 days and 165 days respectively.
In a surprising public statement, David Trevino, the Topeka immigration attorney who has helped the Martinez-Maldonado family in the past is quoted as saying “(President-elect Donald Trump) can build a wall 100 feet high and 50 feet deep, but it is not going to keep family members separated. So if someone is deported and they have family members here … they will find a way back — whether it is through the air, under a wall, through the coast of the United States.” I am not sure that immigration advocates will welcome such public statements which will only magnify the anger on the Capitol Hill where the Martinez-Maldonado has already gotten the attention of powerful members.
As the Congress moves into the new session, this and a couple other cases appear to be the likely focus of possible hearings and legislation in a push for an immigration crackdown — a major campaign promise by President elect Donald Trump.
Just reincarnations of Judge Bean here…
I don’t understand why this criminal was deported? Why wasn’t he locked up in the US given he committed crimes here?
Yes. Deporting him just gives him a free pass to get off the hook on the crime and then come right back to the U.S. to rape again.
Jack Ruby – Gitmo is almost unused now, let’s start filling it with illegal aliens who commit felonies.
I think we need a topic on the blog here about castration being a state statutory penalty for rape crimes. I suggest: take the balls but leave the dong. That way they can’t argue they have a right to sit down to wee wee and need the girls restroom.
An alternative is leave the balls on them and take the dong. Then they can want to do something but not have the means to penetrate.
This is called Corporal Punishment. We could rename it Private 1st Class Punishment.
A rapist should not be let back on the streets.
At a misdemeanant level this happens ALL THE TIME. Most individual citizens, especially politicians, do not have sufficient contact with illegals and the problems they bring to our country or their plights. I know of towns that have over eighty percent illegal population and they are ridden with crime and are blights by our standards. Most of those residents are good people but there are so many with no regard for the American legal system or their own. If they come from a crime ridden state in Mexico or other country, they bring those same approaches here.
Back in the 80s when an illegal was booked into jail for any crime, at least where I worked, the jailers red tabbed his booking card and after he was adjudicated Border Patrol came by with a van and took them away. Now, many politicians want illegals here so it takes considerably more of a violation to hand them off for deportation. It almost always had to be for a felony of some form. But, many would return with a new identity. It wasn’t until they were booked again and ran through AFIS when their fingerprints shown they were arrested before. If they were arrested for a serious crime and granted bond or bail they simply went GTM (Gone To Mexico) and escaped the law. Previously, there wasn’t bail since they were in the United States illegally to begin with and BP put a hold on them. Not necessarily this is the case any more. As a LEO you had to know how to work the system to get a problematic illegal deported. It no longer happens automatically unless there are some serious crimes.
It is a regular occurrence to have gang-banger illegals continually victimizing the population. Over and over they go into civilian jails and back out and further their gang enterprise. In fact, being deported involuntarily for a felony and then returning to the US could carry a five year sentence in federal prison. But it is not enforced as often as needed.
Illegals simply ignore the misdemeanors because now they are inconsequential to many of them. Stop them for a traffic license and they have no insurance or drivers license? Writing them a ticket is about as useless as giving them a blank sheet of paper. They will simply toss it aside and get a new identity or simply use the old one and they get arrested again, no worry its just a day or two in jail and off they go. The only thing that worked in enforcing traffic laws was to tow their car to prevent them from driving at least for a day. But eventually they would acquire another vehicle and if they were involved in a traffic accident, they simply fled the scene to avoid responsibility or injured or killed a citizen who had no recourse against them because they often have no insurance.
Nearly all of them that work here have forged social security cards or INS cards. The possession of these constitutes forgery and seldom is this enforced against them. But if a citizen forged a driver’s license, they are almost always arrested. Because it is so common with illegals it becomes ignored. How often do citizens get away after being caught with forged documents or instruments?
So the man mentioned in this article being arrested for child rape after being removed from the US nineteen times does not in the least surprise me. In fact, I had several cases of the previously deported raping children upon their return, one of which was an eleven year old developmentally delayed girl who was raped and impregnated by her attacker. She became a mother at twelve due to this guy. He went away for a long time but the damage was already done.
You have to wonder at what point does the quality of life of our citizens matter. After years of victimization by allowing more and more illegals into our country by politicians I truly believe most people here have had enough of criminals coming in, lowered wages, and the other issues manifest in having open borders it is no wonder why someone such as Donald Trump became president. Politicians and elites never have to deal in their personal lives with the damage caused by illegal immigration or crime in general. So they are quite free to pontificate rhetoric about how beneficial illegal immigration is to America because they clearly have no understanding of what they are talking about.
Darren – your post was so spot on that I found myself cheering, in a very depressed way.
Here in SoCal, identity theft and fraud is absolutely the norm. The most mild cases are when illegal aliens share the identity of the single legal relative that they have. Otherwise, there’s a booming identity fraud market.
We’ve had so many problems with hit and run that CA now requires all of us citizens to pay extra to get uninsured motorist insurance. We’ve had terrible problems with illegals in gangs, sex slavery (literally), drug dealing, identity theft, hit and run…it just goes on. Our state has sunk so deep in crime that we had to empty out our prisons because a judge deemed them too overcrowded. The result was that carjacking rose 400% in some cities. You now have to pretty much murder someone to do any time. Otherwise, the police just waste their time arresting people who don’t serve any time, or get any consequences at all that might prevent them from re-offending. Antibiotic resistant TB is on the rise among illegal aliens (who refuse to go through the health screening included in legal immigration), as well as the homeless. The most violently anti-semitic person I ever met was a Persian who crossed in the US illegally through Mexico. (He claimed he was caught and became legalized.) It has literally become a third world country, in some respects, where there are no consequences for many crimes, and you just need a good fake ID to skate. Plus, voter fraud is absolutely rampant, according to exposes written about it. Why not? All you need to do is check a box at the DMV that you are legally allowed to vote, and you’re registered. There’s no checking. I just give my name to vote, and don’t have to show any ID. It’s just such a mess.
And for anyone who goes to the rote defense that many illegal aliens are good people, it’s beside the point. I’ve known many great illegal aliens. It’s impossible not to in the equestrian industry. But they need to go through the line and the legal process just the same as anyone else. I’m not allowed to engage in tax fraud because I’m a nice person. I’m not allowed to forego car insurance because I’m nice. I’m not allowed to engage in ID fraud because I’m nice. Your personality has nothing to do with whether the law should apply to you.
And your account of the developmentally delayed child who became a mother from rape at 12 just breaks my heart. How does she come back from that? Again, her attacker was never supposed to be there.
http://valleycentral.com/news/local/illegal-immigrant-brings-drug-resistant-tb-case-to-texas
Just out of curiosity, in California, can you get plates and put a car on the road without insurance? That is certainly not possible in some other states.
Jay – there is no anchor that flies out and stops you from purchasing a used car, with a license plate, and then not getting car insurance. There is no physical inhibition to driving that car without insurance. It’s only if you get in an accident and stick around, or if you get stopped by a cop for a ticket, that they find out. And then they just tow the low dollar car. What else are they going to do? Suspend the license you don’t have?
And they just peel the registration sticker off of other license plates. It’s supposed to be hard to do, but apparently not impossible. As I’ve mentioned, uninsured illegal alien drivers were such a problem that the entire state now requires us to carry uninsured motorist insurance. We all pay more because they want to line skip.
The problem was so rampant that CA decided to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens. You cannot purchase car insurance without a valid license. And THEN they subsidized car insurance for illegal aliens, which, again, the rest of us paid for. That flooded the DMV with about a million and half illegal aliens to get those licenses. (Lord help me, I had to go to the DMV during that time and the wait to get an appointment, and then the wait to get through that appointment, was out the door and around the block.) Sadly, those who pushed the bill through failed to incorporate any measure of its success in encouraging illegal aliens to buy insurance. And, since the ease of getting drivers licenses makes CA even more friendly to illegal immigrants, it’s an attractant to more. So we get more drain on our benefits system, more uninsured motorists that cost their victims in a traffic accident, more crime, and more competition for minimum wage jobs which, by the way, dry up when the minimum wage doubles.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/21/evidence-scant-californias-licensed-illegal-immigrant-drivers-getting-insurance.html
AND, to add insult to injury, the state subsidized auto insurance for illegal aliens provides lower payouts to victims than is mandated for the insurance that those of us, who follow the law, must pay.
So people are getting rewarded for breaking our immigration laws, and encouraged to do it more.
Our gang intelligence unit received very credible information that a drive-by shooting was being planned by one of the out of town gangs in retaliation to some dispute they had with one of the local rivals. Again, nearly all were illegals or children of illegals. Where was this to occur? At the high school’s homecoming dance.
The sheriff assigned probably a dozen or more deputies to saturate the town with a large show of deterrent force. TRT even stationed a sniper on the roof and several guys were stationed in the parking lot and out front. THIS IS WHAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS DOING TO AMERICA.
But certainly less risky but more frequent are the identity thefts rampantly committed by illegals against random citizens. When they purchase their fake social security cards it is frequently the case where the number is actually reserved for an American Citizen who has to suffer the damages. It is not only just direct fraud, but to a much greater extent the illegal claiming benefits or working under the pretense of the false social security number causes the American or legitimate SSA holder to lose their social security retirement benefits because they “earned” too many hours on their account. In fact, every inquiry I made with the SSA to confirm if an illegal possessed a legitimate card I was told the account was actually in the name of a regular citizen, and a few were dead.
I was an expert witness in identifying forged documents and cards. I can look at one and immediately know it is fake. But some are so bad anyone will know. But, many employers simply ignore the forgeries and hire the person anyway, claiming they thought it was real. What the orchards did was make a copy of the identity documents and wait until after harvest in December to check if the SSA number was correctly associated with the prospective worker. Of course this was after harvest when many went GTM.
Employers have the ability to check SSA numbers for legitimacy, but our government designed the system to allow illegals to skate by as long as lobbying employers could tweak the system to their advantage. If we as a nation got serious about ending illegal entry one of the easiest means to do this would be to start arresting or fining employers for every illegal they are found in their employ, to sanction housing authorities for harboring fugitives, and deny health care benefits and welfare for anyone in the country illegally. But as I said, politicians want them here so we have to suffer.
My heart goes out to the child victim of this heinous predator.
One of the most heartbreaking aspects of violent illegal alien crime, is that the perpetrator was not supposed to be there. If we were serious about border security, like every other country in the world, they wouldn’t be here. Deported would actually mean something.
Illegal immigration needs to be as close to impossible as we can make it, leaving legal immigration through proper channels the only alternative. We MUST be able to deny entry to violent criminals across the border.
The Zatos cartel just recently baked hundreds of men, women, and children to death in makeshift ovens right near our border. Just like the ovens in Dachau. And they are active across our border, too. Another cartel whose name escapes me eviscerated a journalist, while she was alive, and hung her as a warning to those who would report against them, with her entrails hanging out. The source of much sex trafficking in the US, including child sex trafficking, is cartels across the border. Here in CA, we often read about multiple violent offenders like this who either get deported and come right back, or won’t get deported at all because they live in a sanctuary city.
It’s enough. Unless we have enforceable borders, we are not a country at all, we are a region.
Even good, hardworking people need to wait their turn in line, or go through the asylum process. There are billions of people in the world, compared with millions of us, and we literally do not have the room for everyone. The majority of places in the world do not share our Western values, especially towards women. An open door policy will mean that Western values will be swamped and overrun. Right now, our border really consists of the degree of difficulty it takes to cross a desert or an ocean. That’s the only hindrance we have.
Karen S – certainly Gov. Moonbeam would not allow sex workers in his state. BTW, is he planning to start work on the climate rocket before or after the train to nowhere is done?
Paul – you mean the dairy cow flatulence reduction scheme?
Karen – has anyone figured out how they are going to monitor cow flatulence?
It’s sad to contemplate a nation which would refuse to secure its borders against such monsters, and it is too bad we can’t force Mexico to take him back and incarcerate him at their expense.
One reason we see this scenario over and over again is because there is little disincentive to come here. If the taxpayer must foot the bill for such trash, then perhaps we should institute far more drastic measures, such as forced labor to repair aging infrastructure and something far worse after the second offense.
Here in CA (and more specifically in the Bay Area), there’s a sentiment that sanctuary should be given to illegal immigrants who haven’t been “convicted of a violent felony.” Breaking that down, multiple arrests or misdemeanors don’t count, nor do felony convictions not deemed “violent.” The linked articles don’t specify why this guy was deported so many times, but he’s clearly not one of those characterized as good, hard-working illegals who are keeping their heads down and staying out of trouble. And if he isn’t convicted of this violent crime, he would fit within the parameters of many of California’s sanctuary city policies.
California, thank God, is not America.
That view cuts both ways…. Yes, thank God California is not more like flyover country.
@Jay
I get it, I get it! You despise people like me, a lot. The feeling is mutual. Why don’t you let us go then? Afterwards you can have as many of your precious “undocumented” as you want as work towards the multicult utopia. If we so irredeemably racist, sexist, etc, you should want us gone.
For some time, I have been of the opinion that we would all be better off if we dissolved into WestCoast, EastCoast, and FlyoverCountry. If not three separate countries, maybe three different sets of laws, taxes, and regulations. So yes, Antonio, we would be both happier with a divorce.
It might surprise you but I am a Hispanic that voted for Donald Trump.
And yes, I think a divorce is coming.

The publication of this news item underscores how porous the border is, and how ineffective “deportation” is. If you pro-amnesty commentators want to criticize someone for bringing to light how vulnerable our border is, then blame Mr. Maldonado, the 38 year-old child rapist, not Professor Turley, who simply reported the facts. It has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the accused; he could have been from any foreign country. The point is that U.S. taxpayers waste billions on border protection and get very little in return.
I agree, but ethnicity has everything to do with the problem. Americans, for example, who leave to live in Europe have approximately the same crime rates as natives, Somalis, on the other hand. are particularly crime ridden and have far higher crime rates than natives. Sweden has become the rape capitol of Europe thanks to Muslim immigrants.
He should be electrocuted and then drop his cold body on Mexico. That should take care of this roach.
Is snowflake ❄️ having a meltdown. Go find your safe place Steve. Let me show you Mexico’s Immigration Law, I think the United States should adopt the same one.
— The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?
— If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care.
— Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years’ imprisonment. Document fraud is subject to fine and imprisonment; so is alien marriage fraud. Evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years’ imprisonment. Foreigners may be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at the litigation apple that illegal aliens are afforded in our country (see, for example, President Obama’s illegal alien aunt — a fugitive from deportation for eight years who is awaiting a second decision on her previously rejected asylum claim).
Castrated and then executed and then dropped out over Mexico.
He should serve lots of time for this crime, but focusing on this crime when, that I know of, you’ve never pointed a finger at the more important issue related to the porosity of our border, the number of times he’s crossed the border, and the length to which Latin Americans will go to leave Central and South America.
The “surprising” statement from the Topeka immigration attorney, “(President-elect Donald Trump) can build a wall 100 feet high and 50 feet deep, but it is not going to keep family members separated. . . .” may be surprising to some, but it’s the truth and shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. You’d do the same thing if you were in their shoes.
A major part of why this emigration from their native countries is the destabilization and destruction from US policy there. Don’t buy it? Take another, better look. Time and time again, our policy has been foreign-regime change after democratic elections resulting in economic policy differing from our own (er, the central bank’s).
And it isn’t just Mexicans. When Latinos are deported to Mexico (which for many isn’t even they’re native country) because they’ve claimed Mexican nationality (which places them at the border for repeated attempts after deportation), one gets the sense that racism is the basis. Better research into countries of origin should replace cattle-hauling them to the border.

And, I’m SURE Mexico’s NATIONWIDE victim-disarmament policy has absolutely NOTHING to do with living conditions in that country, huh? No Second Amendment protections for the Mexican People against the cartels, gangs, and their own government? THAT ain’t “US policy”; it’s MEXICO POLICY.
I’m no sociologist, but can’t help wondering if the sad state of Mexico correlates with overpopulation. At some point, scientists tell us, human population growth can result in what they call exceeding the carrying capacity of the land. Mexico has few natural resources and a largely uneducated and poverty-stricken population. Unemployment is rampant and criminal enterprises and corrupt government have compounded the problem.
Escaping this horrible environment appeals to millions of Latinos, so they leave in the millions. The questions must be raised: Do they have the right to live here against our will? Will they do for us what they have done for Mexico?, and what to make of any people who insist on bringing children into the world when the only thing they can expect is a life of poverty?
Mexico’s not that densely populated. It’s no more densely settled than Ireland. The homicide rate is > 20x Ireland’s, though.
There is tremendous variation in the homicide rate from one province to another, with Yucutan as tranquil as an American suburb and some of the northern states rather like Detroit. Mexico’s got a problem with organized crime, with ineffectual police and penal services, and with understaffed services.
Mexico has ample natural resources and is not poor on any global or historical scale. Bracketing out natural resource rents and the hypertrophied share adhering to the most affluent decile of the population, real personal income per capita is similar to that of the United States just before the 2d World War. The ratio of employed persons to persons over the age of 15 is 0.586, which is adequate and about what it is in the United States (and likely higher than what it is in western Europe).
A major part of why this emigration from their native countries is the destabilization and destruction from US policy there. Don’t buy it? T
Of course not. You’re a historical and economic illiterate and nothing you say has any reality. Mexico’s problems and Central America’s are derived from their own history and social relations. The United States did not create those relations. It did attempt to contain some of their effects on the international political environment. That’s it.
Excellent point(s) Steve. How many Hondurans for example have fled to the US — or been detained in Mexico en route as they seek to escape the havoc and pursue better lives for themselves and their families?
Honduras has a high homicide rate. It has a high homicide rate 20 years ago (and El Salvador had an even higher rate at the time). There was no immivasion in 1995 because the administration of the time did not invite one through political signaling.
The people of Arizona and Texas are not responsible for Honduras’ social problems. American officialdom is not responsible for those problems either. Crafting foreign aid programs to assist in addressing those problems is not a straightforward task.
Do you publish this highly inflammatory piece to get people in a tizzy so they get further upset and point to Mexicans as evil horrible rapists as the president- elect Pussygrabber himself has done? Do you publish this stuff so that the Republican right will get into an out rage and re-share this piece so that they have further confirmation of how evil and terrible Mexicans are?
Have you done your due diligence as a journalist on this case? I doubt it.
Have you considered publishing an article about the flow of Mexican immigration is actually in the negative regarding the United States at this point? There are more Mexicans returning back to their country then are staying here. That seems like interesting news to me. And is factually correct.
Please stop with the sensational pieces that just gets innocent and uninformed people wrapped up in a frenzy.

You are technically correct; more Mexicans are leaving than entering, but central American peoples are flocking here in droves. Mexican police, incidentally, rob and torture many of them.
One might think that Europe’s example with rampant illegal immigration and the resultant rapes, murders and other assorted crimes might make it clear that we either control our borders or criminals will.
He’s been deported 19 times. Slap him in jail for 70 days the first time he’s found here unlawfully and then jack up the penalty each subsequent time. If the sum of penalties for 19 unlawful border crossings was 6-7 years in prison, there’d be less of it. If he had to scale a fifty foot cement wall topped with razor wire (with guard towers every 600 yards), there’d be less of it, no matter how many shysters are willing to take his case to frustrate law enforcement.
Pamela, I have reported you to the $PLC for your shameless attacks on the proud Mexican heritage and on President-Elect Trump. You post clearly demonstrates that you are xenophobic, hispanophobic, latinophobic, and Trumpaphobic.
You are also very unpatriotic. Attacks on the immigration policies of the U.S. Government and now President-Elect Trump are attacks upon America itself. I am also deeply offended by your comment referring to the female genitalia as a “pussy.” This is a blatantly sexist and misogynistic.
You are an affront to all decent, caring, PC denizens. I would not be surprised to learn that you are a closet right-wing, white-power extremist, who is also eurotophobic, phallophobic, ithyphallophobic, and/or medorthophobic.
God forbid, but if you are ever assaulted by an “undocumented” immigrant, just tell them you are a good liberal. I promise, the attacker will immediately stop in their tracks and apologize profusely.

Thank you, Professor Turley. You provide interesting content which goes unreported. I appreciate your blog.
It is stunning to see such a lack of common sense.
This incident shows the lack of common sense that prevails in government.
Professor Turley, you are a brave man. If you aren’t careful you are going to end up on the $PLC “hate watch” list, as are Numbers USA and the Center for Immigration Studies and they will try to get you fired.
You can’t criticize our precious “undocumented” immigrants. Ah, the price we must pay for a just society.
Antonio, I have reported JT to the $PLC for his shameless attacks on the proud Mexican heritage. I found his brutal attack on the Mexican people to to vile, heinous, xenophobic, hispanophobic, and latinophobic. JT is also unpatriotic. An attack on the immigration policies of the U.S. Government is an attack upon American itself. His aspersions on the Mexican people are an affront to all decent, caring, PC denizens, but they are what we have come to expect from a right-wing, white-power extremist.
The Trevino guy is right. Do not deport this guy ever again. Convict him of the crime. Castrate him. Sentence him to life in prison. On release, make the release effective. Drop him out of a plane at thirty thousand feet without a parachute. Tape his removed dong to his ear. Make the drop over Mexico.
The sad thing is that using the “keep families from being separated” Argument to protect a man like this hurts individuals who genuinely deserve compassion.
I find it amazing that our givernment is incapable of keeping tabs on those who are deported when it spends billions spying on citizens. It’s time to get serious.
No one wants to prevent the children from returning with their parents if they broke our LAW and came here illegally.
