Illegal immigrant who entered US on visa to visit Disney World arrested after overstaying a decade, sex crime

His dream didn't come true.

An illegal immigrant who overstayed his U.S. visa by a decade after visiting Disney World was arrested this week, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Alejandro Saul Rico, an Argentine citizen, was taken into custody on June 19 in Silver Spring, Maryland. In addition to overstaying his visa, Rico’s criminal history includes a conviction for assault and a prior arrest for a third-degree sex offense in Maryland, DHS said.

Rico told authorities that he originally entered the U.S. through Miami on a tourist visa in 2006 to visit Disney World. While he was granted a B1 visa in 2006, he remained in the country long after his authorized stay had expired in 2016, according to DHS.

"This criminal illegal alien overstayed his visa after visiting Disney World, has been convicted of assault, and has a prior arrest for a sex offense," said DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. "Too many illegal aliens believe they can overstay a visa, disappear into the interior of the country, and avoid the consequences of violating our immigration laws."

Bis said President Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin are restoring integrity to U.S. visa programs and ensuring the privilege isn't used as a "one-way ticket" for criminals to enter the country and exploit U.S. laws.

The B1 visa is typically used by foreign visitors to conduct business, as opposed to the B2 visa, which is used for tourism purposes, according to the State Department website.

The Trump administration has enacted sweeping overhauls of the visa program, prioritizing self-sufficiency and increased vetting of applicants.
