OK, all over again...

This was you question. Por qué one is correct and not the other.

I am going to start this time from the wrong one(s)

te quiero venir does not mean anything because venir is the wrong verb for this type of construction (whatever it is) and even in English it would be wrong:

te quiero venir = I want to come you

te quiero limpiar = I want to clean you

te quiero enviar/mandar = I want to send you

etc...

The problem is that Esperar most likely is trying the subjunctive and he doesn't state so when he posts either. Then again maybe not!

Now the other phrase which is correct:

No le dejes pasar = Don't you let him/her pass/come in etc

No le dejes venir = Don't you let him/her come

No le dejes limpiar = Don't you let him/her clean


Now, as stated before, one construction doesn't have anything to do with the other as you can see by their English versions.

Now, if this doesn't help you, I really don't know what you were trying to ask in the first place, and even Rusty was guessing...
