Sebastian Martinez-Carrisales appeals from his conviction of being found in the United States after deportation following a conviction of an aggravated felony. He contends that the district court erred by adjusting his offense level by 16 levels for commission of a crime of violence based on a 1999 Illinois conviction of residential burglary. He argues that his burglary conviction was not an aggravated felony for sentencing purposes and, for the first time on appeal, that the Sentencing Commission did not intend for the crime-of-violence adjustment to apply to offenses that are not also aggravated felonies. He also contends for the first time on appeal that the “felony” and “aggravated felony” provisions of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) are unconstitutional in light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000).

The district court did not err by adhering to a literal interpretation of the language of the U.S.S.G. § 2Ll,2(b)(l)(A), which provides for a 16-level adjustment for commission of a crime of violence. In *368 terpretation of the Sentencing Guidelines is subject to ordinary rules of statutory construction, and if the guideline’s language is unambiguous, our inquiry begins and ends with an analysis of the plain meaning of that language. United States v. Carbajal, 290 F.3d 277, 283 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 537 U.S. 934, 123 S.Ct. 34, 154 L.Ed.2d 235 (2002). The only exception to this rule is when a clear contrary legislative intention is shown, an exception that applies only in “rare and exceptional circumstances.” See Ardestani v. INS, 502 U.S. 129, 135-36, 112 S.Ct. 515, 116 L.Ed.2d 496 (1991). Martinez has not established that the commentary to and history of the amended U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2 establish that the Commission did not intend that some offenses that do not qualify as “aggravated felonies” within the meaning of the guideline nonetheless warrant the guideline’s top offense-level increase.

Martinez’s Apprendi contention is foreclosed by the caselaw of this court. See United States v. Dabeit, 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000). Martinez concedes that his contention is foreclosed, but he raises it to preserve it for further review.

AFFIRMED.
