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
