Excerpt:

Róger Calero is the Socialist Workers Party candidate for president. Calero, 39, has been active in the fight for legalization of undocumented workers for many years. He participated in the large nationwide May Day demonstrations demanding legalization for immigrants beginning in 2006, and in subsequent years. In July, he joined a march of 1,500 people in Postville, Iowa, protesting the immigration raid, detentions, hasty trials, and deportations of nearly 400 packinghouse workers who worked at the Agriprocessors meatpacking plant.

Small excerpt:

Charges against Calero

The immigration cops are seeking to "exclude" him deny Calero re-entry into the United States and deport him to his native Nicaragua, based on a 1988 conviction, when he was a high school student in Los Angeles, on a charge of selling marijuana to an undercover cop. Faced with the prospect of jail, Calero copped a plea and received a suspended 60day sentence with three years probation.

Permanent resident for 12 years

When Calero applied for permanent residence in 1989 he specifically included information about his conviction, which immigration officials waived in order to grant him a green card giving him the right to live and work in the United States, In 2000 the INS replaced his card with full written information of the 12?year?old conviction. Today, Calero, who is married to a U.S. citizen, lives in Newark, New Jersey

This Róger Calero isn’t listed at the FEC.gov or OpenSecrets. How did he get on any ballots?
