FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - Police in Framingham, Mass., say an illegal immigrant from Guatemala entered a police station, told officers he had stolen another man's identity and asked to be deported because he could no longer make ends meet in America.

Police told The MetroWest Daily News they arrested 29-year-old Carlos Boc after he confessed Saturday night.

Lt. Paul Shastany said Boc told police he wanted to return to Guatemala but can't afford a ticket. He told police he has no job or money and is worried about surviving the winter. He told police he came to the U.S. 13 years ago.

A not guilty plea was entered on Boc's behalf Monday at his arraignment in Framingham District Court on charges including identity fraud.

A home number for Boc could not immediately be found.

1. They send so many people home who don't want to go. They also sent home

a man who was very ill, and in the hospital, claiming his own country should pay for his care.

If they refuse to send this man they are simply sadists.

2. You make a lot of friends in 13 years. He must be in very bad straits

if he's asking to be sent home and away from the home he made here. :(
