assert s that th is g uideline (1) is not empirically ba sed, (2) double counts his prior drug

- trafficking conviction, and (3) fails to account for the nonviolent nature of his offense, which he insists is, “at bottom, a trespassory [sic] offense.” N ava - Acosta also asserts that the district court failed to acco unt for his personal circumstances and the circumsta nces of this offense, noting that he returned to the United States only to find work and thus earn money to support his family. We review the substantive reaso nableness of a sentence for abuse of discret ion

. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007). Alt hough Nava

- Acosta objected to the substantive reasonableness of his sentence, he raises his contention that his sentence is substantively unreasonable because of alleged flaws in § 2L1. 2 for the first time on appeal

. To preserve a claim of error, the defendant must raise it “ with the district court in such a manner so that the district court may correct itself.” United States v. Rodriguez , 15 F.3d 408, 414 (5th Cir. 1994) (internal quotation marks and citations omitted). These contentions, t herefore, are arguably reviewed for plain error. See id

. We need not determine whether plain error review is appropriate in this case , however, beca use Nava

- Acosta’s claims fail even under the abuse

- of

- discretion standard. See United States v. Rodriguez , 523 F.3d 519, 525 (5th Cir. 2008). Although Nava

- Acosta challenges the applica bility of the presumption of reasonabl eness to his within

- g uidelines s entence under § 2L1.2, he acknowledges that th is challenge is foreclosed and that he raises it only to preserve it for possible future review. See United States v. Mondragon

Santiago , 564 F.3d 357, 366

- 367 (5th Cir. 2009) (rejecting identical argument). His claim of “double counting” also fails, see United States v. Duarte , 569 F.3d 528, 529

- 30 (5th Cir. 2009), as does his contention that § 2L1.2 results in an excessive sentence because it is not empirically based, see United States v.

2 Case: 13-50363 Document: 00512479327 Page: 2 Date Filed: 12/20/2013No. 13

- 50363 Rodriguez , 660 F.3d 231, 232

- 33 (5th Cir. 2011). Similarly, we have n ever been persuaded that the Sentencing Guidelines fail to account for the nonviolent nature of an illegal reentry offense. See United States v. Aguirre

- Villa , 460 F.3d 681, 683 (5th Cir. 2006). The dist rict court considered Nava

- Acosta’s efforts to obtain a lesser sentence but concluded that a sentence at the bottom of the guidelines range was appropriate because of the nature of Nava

- Acosta’s offense and his criminal history . His contentions regarding his mitigating factors and benign motive are insufficient to rebut the presumption of reasonableness. See United States v. Cooks , 589 F.3d 173, 186 (5th Cir. 2009) ; United States v. Gomez

Herrera , 523 F.3d 554, 565

- 66 (5th Cir. 2008)

. The sentence imposed by the district court is AFFIRMED.
