SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Utah man dodged prison with an unusual ploy - he claimed to be an illegal immigrant and got himself deported to Mexico.
Prosecutors say 27-year-old Jaime Alvarado told Salt Lake City police and immigration officials in 2010 that his name was Saul Quiroz and he had come to the U.S. illegally from Mexico.

Which is worse, going to Mexico or to prison? That would be tough choice.

Jaime AlvaradoSeems to me there was a little profiling going on here. Would they have believed him if his name were James Albertson?

If an illegal claims to be a US Citizen he is OK.
However, If a US Citizen claims to be an illegal its a felony.
How does one renounce his citizenship?
