1Opinion of the Court
CUDAHY, Circuit Judge.
Vargas-Garnica appeals the enhancement of his sentence for illegal reentry by a deported alien based on an earlier statutory rape conviction. Because the district court found that statutory rape is a “crime of violence” under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A.)(ii) (“U.S.S.G.”), it enhanced Vargas-Garnica’s sentence by 16 levels. Vargas-Garnica argues that the earlier conviction should be classified as an “aggravated felony,” and result in only an 8-level sentence increase. The district court’s analysis of § 2L1.2 was correct and we affirm.
