Yesterday (and here), Major League Baseball star Miguel Tejada pleaded guilty to a charge that he lied to Congress about his use of steroids.   He is not expected to serve prison time but, as a lawful permament resident from the Dominican Republic (Tejada’s literal rags-to-riches story is laid out in the book Away Games), there has been talk of possible immigration consequences to the criminal conviction.
