April 2000 in Detroit. Oct. 26 stamp. Then 26 years. That is not a paperwork glitch. That is a street.

Twenty-six years after a Detroit overstay, Las Vegas finally handed ICE the file.
Summary
- Breitbart reports ICE took custody on Aug. 2 of 55-year-old Jaime Tan Francisco, a Philippine illegal alien whose U.S. criminal record dates back 20 years.
- About a week before the ICE pickup, Las Vegas police arrested Francisco for domestic battery, attempted arson, drug possession, resisting an officer, and possessing drug paraphernalia.
- Acting ICE Director David Venturella said Francisco entered through Detroit in April 2000, was authorized only until Oct. 26, 2000, then overstayed almost 26 years.
- He was convicted of harassment in July 2006 and meth possession in 2014. Venturella said ICE is pairing with local police to keep criminal illegal aliens off the street.
Commentary
A graveyard-shift cook still wipes fryer grease off a split knuckle and locks a deadbolt that should not be the last line on his block. He did not pay Vegas overtime so a 2000 visitor stamp could own 2026.
Twenty-six years. Twenty years of paper. One week of battery, arson, and meth. The honest dad already paid the booking. The overstay paid the street.
Look every working father who still waits behind a barred liquor window in the eye and answer this: if a 26-year overstay can stack harassment, meth, and arson before ICE is called, who still owns the night?
Comments
I stood a gate so a visitor stamp would expire. Finish the removal.
Harassment 2006. Meth 2014. Battery and arson in Vegas. Then ICE on Aug. 2. Publish the full rap.
Allied ports still honor an expired visa. A 26-year shrug is a tax on the night shift.
Jaime Tan Francisco. 55. Philippines. Las Vegas booking plus ICE custody. File both jackets.
I clock out smelling grease. I want the overstay on a plane, not on my sidewalk.
Domestic battery and attempted arson are not a welcome mat. They are a warning the street already paid.
A 26-year overstay is a second border. The first stamp should have been the last.
Breitbart printed Aug. 2, Detroit 2000, 2006, 2014, and the Vegas list. Argue those nouns.
Keep the pairing with local cops. Remove him. A visitor stamp is not a lifetime lease.
