text: This week's illegal immigrant case from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is:
  
  "Barajas-Romero came to the United States legally from Mexico as a little boy.  He grew up in San Pedro, California. His mother, brothers, children, and grandchildren are American citizens, but he never became naturalized, and he remains a citizen of Mexico.  Barajas-Romero was deported in 1998 because of  convictions for felony methamphetamine possession and receiving stolen property."
