So what you are saying Baker Capital is that you would let a Convicted Thief into your home, I could see it if it was a DUI, Disorderly Conduct or Simple Assault or shoplifting for food to feed his family BUT Stealing someones elses property, He needs to suffer the consequences of what he did bottom line.
I would over look it if it happened 10, 12 years ago but within the last year, he hasn't even started to pay for the bad choice he made.
He should have just said he did it to support his drug habit and they would have sent him to treatment and cleared his record after he complected it, federal first time offenders act
Federal First Offender Act
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that an alien whose offense would have qualified for treatment under the Federal First Offender Act (“FFOA”), but who was convicted and had his conviction expunged under state or foreign law, may not be removed on account of that offense. See Dillingham v. INS, 267 F.3d 996 (9th Cir. 2001); Lujan-Armendariz v. INS, 222 F.3d 728 (9th Cir. 2000). To qualify for treatment under the FFOA, the defendant must (1) have been found guilty of an offense described in section 404 of the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), 21 U.S.C. § 844; (2) have not, prior to the commission of such an offense, been convicted of violating a federal or state law relating to controlled substances; and (3) have not previously been accorded first offender treatment under any law. See 18 U.S.C. § 3607(a); Cardenas-Uriarte v. INS, 227 F.3d 1132, 1136 (9th Cir. 2000).
