Our friend Michael Graham sends along this heartwarming item from the Bay State:
A Framingham man who told police he can’t afford to return to his native Guatemala, turned himself in Saturday on identity theft charges so he could eventually be deported, police said.
Carlos F. Boc, 29, told officers he had no job or money and was worried about surviving the winter, police spokesman Lt. Paul Shastany said.
Just after 8:30 Saturday night, Boc went to the front window at the Framingham Police station and spoke to Officer Joe Godino.
“He said he needed help in returning to his home country,” Shastany said.
Boc then showed documents, including a birth certificate and a Social Security number of another man, as well as a driver’s license with his picture but the other man’s information. Boc said he had stolen his former roommate’s identification after the man moved back to Puerto Rico two years ago, Shastany said.
Michael’s frustrated that after more than a decade of committing multiple felonies, this illegal alien is likely to get a free trip home. But if that’s what it takes to see attrition of the illegal population, I’ll take it. In fact, if we can keep preventing Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham from passing their amnesty, we’ll get more and more of this.
