Illegal immigrant tells police he can't even pay for his own ticket home

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - Police in Framingham, Mass., say an illegal immigrant from Guatemala entered a police station, told officers he had stolen another man's identity and asked to be deported because he could no longer make ends meet in America.

Police told The MetroWest Daily News they arrested 29-year-old Carlos Boc after he confessed Saturday night.

Lt. Paul Shastany said Boc told police he wanted to return to Guatemala but can't afford a ticket. He told police he has no job or money and is worried about surviving the winter. He told police he came to the U.S. 13 years ago.

1. Sad that things have come to this.

I think desperate undocumented workers account for a large number of cars being sold on the cheap on Craig's List here - where they come right out and say "have to go back home right away".....

2. Puts a whole new spin on "migrant worker".
Heck, even in prison they'd have a better chance of survival than on the streets of our northern states.
