[QUOTE]Orange County, Calif., Assistant District Attorney Al Valdez says he hears it all the time: "Go ahead, deport me. I'll be back in two weeks."
They spit it out as a blood vow, the toughest among them with derisive laughter and expletives added, and many back it up with action, if not in two weeks, eventually.
How many of the criminal deportees eventually make it back to the United States is not known for sure, but estimates from police and researchers start at 40 percent.
Officials in the home countries of the criminal deportees report the same pattern. In El Salvador, for example, Metropolitan police chief Eduardo Linares estimated that 60 percent or more of the criminal deportees to his country end up returning to the United States.
