A Mexican illegal immigrant once embraced by Minnesotans as a deserving charity case pleaded guilty today to breaking and entering in Boston.
Francisco Javier Serrano's plea means his strange American odyssey will end where it began: He will be deported to Mexico.
Serrano, 22, was found last year living inside a Minneapolis high school, his tale of struggle and homelessness galvanizing locals as news of his plight spread. News accounts dubbed him the "Apple Valley High squatter," and Serrano told his newfound friends that he sought to attend a US college and become an inventor. Soon, he had a rent-free downtown apartment, an immigration lawyer, and a wealthy benefactor.
Still, his bid to stay in the United States failed, and he tearfully boarded a plane back to Mexico on Jan. 5. Or so thought his supporters, who came to see him off at the airport.
In April, he turned up in Boston's North End, where police arrived to find Serrano in a struggle with an apartment tenant. He was arrested and charged with breaking and entering. His Minnesota supporters were shocked and disillusioned. Serrano has been held in Suffolk County Jail since on $25,000 cash bail and an immigration retainer.

Stupid morons.
You can take the illegal out of mexico but you can't take the mexico out of an illegal.
We have those?
Wouldn't suprise me if we did. They don't seem to ever see anything wrong with these guys.
I think anyone who is not for mining the border and rounding up anyone with a Hispanic last name and putting them in ovens is deemed "pro-Illegal alien" by some here.
Ping....
You're generalizing about people generalizing about people.
The irony is delicious. :-)
There aren't a lot of politically astute people in Minnesota. I think the cold winters affect common sense.
Generally. Exceptions abound.
He was the cause celeb for all the socialists at the Star & Tribune. Just like Kathlene Soliah, (The Symbionese Liberation Army member wanted by the FBI) it blew up in their faces when they were both convicted of crimes and sent to prison.
There are plenty of astute, politically active and aware people in Minnesota. 52% of them just happen to be Communists.
Really, the answer to all this is simple.
Build that double-decker wall along the border. Then allow Mexicans to line up on their side, and American employers to line up on the other. The American employers have to pay at least minimum wage to the Mexicans, with health benefits, then transport them to the job for the duration, and back to the border when the job is done.
Wonder if this was his first time stealing? :-)
Hey now, don't make me pull my ping list on you.
Right. Absolutely. At least they provide for some laughs when we're on the road, driving around in their cars plastered with loser decals (Scary-Leftwards '04, Wellstone, etc.)
Far too many by my count.
