People coming in on a visa are required to promise they will leave when their visa is up. Based on their representation that they will leave, they are let into this country for a defined length of time. Anyone who overstays, upon detection by law enforcement (there’s a laugh) needs to be fined, kicked out of the country summarily, and never, ever allowed to return. Period.

In Ramos' case it's too late.
He came to Los Angeles to attend Journalism School at UCLA. I don't think he ever got his degree, and he joined the parade of fake "citizens," somewhere along the line.
So if he made such a promise, he lied.
