Noel Robles-Robles appeals his guilty plea conviction and sentence for illegal reentry following deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1826. He argues that the district court plainly erred by determining that his prior conviction under 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) was a “drug trafficking offense” for purposes of U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(i). We disagree. A comparison of the statute and Guideline at issue shows that a conviction under § 841(a)(1) qualifies as a drug trafficking offense under § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(i). See § 841(a)(1), § 2L1.2, comment. (n.l(B)(iv)). Robles-Robles’s argument to the contrary is unavailing.

In light of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), Robles-Robles challenges the constitutionality of § 1326(b)’s treatment of prior felony and aggravated felony convictions as sentencing factors rather than elements of the offense that must be found by a jury. His argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998). United States v. Pineda-Arrellano, 492 F.3d 624, 625 (5th Cir. 2007), cert. denied, — U.S. ——, 128 S.Ct. 872, 169 L.Ed.2d 737 (2008).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
