An illegal alien who raped a child and served several years in prison before being deported back to Mexico was re-arrested in Kansas just weeks after his deportation.

“According to the Kansas Department of Corrections Simon Rochel-Cervantes, 46, a citizen of Mexico, spent 7-years in the Ellsworth Correctional Facility for the rape and aggravated intimidation of a witness,” said a local news report.

Rochel-Cervantes raped a child under the age of 14.

After serving his time, he was deported from the United States on on Feb. 19. But he returned shortly thereafter and was re-arrested on March 5. He returned to the same state where the crime occurred.

He has been charged with unlawful re-entry after deportation, and faces up to two years in jail and a $250,000 bond., and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security are both investigating the incident.

Rochel-Cervantes’ illegal re-entry comes during a time of fierce fighting in Washington, D.C. over border security. It also highlights the ease with which illegals are able to cross the border.

Last month, an eight-time deported illegal in Utah was busted trafficking $850,ooo in drugs. Two weeks ago, a twice-deported illegal was charged with child rape in Alabama. In the same week, a previously deported illegal was charged for crashing into a state police cruiser while driving drunk.

And Mexican national Ramon Hector Martine Ontiveros, an illegal alien unlawfully living in Oklahoma was recently charged with the murder of Paige Gomer, leaving her one child without a mother.

In what many Republicans see as a colossal failure, the Republican Congress, led by former Speaker Paul Ryan, current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, failed to deliver wall funding to the president’s desk during all of 2017 and 2018, when Republicans held the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Still, some Republicans continue to buck the President’s Build the Wall agenda. Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), the ‘Never Trump’ champion of open-borders Republicans, was recently the only Republican to oppose a House resolution to keep illegals from voting.

Meanwhile, illegal border crossings are surging, and expected to hit 1.5 million in 2019. Trump has issued a National Emergency declaration, for which he has been sued by several heavily blue states.

Thursday, the Pentagon issued $1 billion in funding to begin wall construction.
