None of the provided sources mention Wista Jean Kelly Charzales or his admission to the United States, so the 2013 admission cannot be confirmed or refuted.

VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The sources are generic pages (FactCheck.org search, AP fact-check index, PolitiFact archive, DHS yearbook landing pages, Census and Congressional Record tables) that do not name this individual or his immigration history.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Context. The DHS Yearbook 2013 page describes annual immigration statistics in general terms and does not record any individual admission, so it does not address this person.[7]
Context. The claim is an extraction from the post by VINCE, which resolves the referent to the same individual named in the passage; the claim does not add figures or scope beyond what the post states.
