For the first time since the so-called “surge” of illegal aliens began, Mexico has detained and deported more illegals than the United States.
Between October and April, Mexico apprehended 92,889 Central Americans. In the same time period, the United States detained 70,226 “other than Mexican” migrants, the vast majority from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
Last year, the U.S. deported three times as many illegals as Mexico.
However, recently Mexico began a new Southern Border Program:
an initiative that included sending 5,000 federal police to the border with Guatemala and more border and highway checkpoints. Raids on migrants increased and authorities focused on keeping migrants off the northbound freight train known as “the Beast,” on which many have suffered mutilation injuries.
So, not only has Mexico reacted quickly to stem the tide of illegal immigrants swarming over its border, it has also streamlined its procedures for dealing with illegal alien deportations.
Mexico has proved the more efficient in deportations, which is already causing concerns among human rights groups about the new tactics.
In most cases, Mexico holds migrants only long enough to verify their nationalities, and quickly bundles them aboard buses to take them back to their home countries.
It can take years for a non-Mexican illegal to be deported if they make it to the U.S. It can take even longer if the illegal can make a play for asylum. Mexico is far less generous with asylum claims.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, there were about 41,920 requests for asylum in 2014, not all from Central Americans. About 49 percent of requests processed that year were granted.
Mexico grants only a tiny number of asylum requests. The latest figures, covering a nine-month period from January to September 2014, show only 1,525 people, the majority of them Central Americans, requested asylum or refugee status, and only one-sixth – 247 – were granted.
Once again, a supposedly less developed country with far fewer resources has managed to outdo the United States when it comes to border protection and deportation of illegal aliens. What is Barack Obama’s excuse for allowing the Southern Border to remain porous?
pharamacudical companies cant wait to turn them into a zombie
zombie ilegals
illegals sell us pistol machine guns , for money for food and rent
I think we should turn the southern borders into a new bombing range to help our military airpower practice their bombing and missle requirements….you know the smell of napalm in the morning.
Simply put, mexico values it’s sovereignty more than the leftist pukes from both parties. …..it also doesn’t help that a large number of Americans are ignorant about what illegal immigration is doing to this country, that is, until it comes to a neighborhood nearby….many of us are witnessing it’s impact firsthand. Hopefully the law willl ultimately prevail and we will see enforcement on a large scale, now that it would seem the American public is waking up to this injustice. It’s not a question of money to deport, simple national enforcement of e-verify would do the trick, it’s a question of willpower, just ask mexico.
I have to agree with you…they will head for their southern border…lol
future voters…obama and the dems want to have enough voters that only a dem can win any elections which will be the end of our 2 party system, our votes and our country itself!
who’s us? it sure isn’t me
some people have to be slapped in the face before they can see past their nose. sooner than later most Americans will feel that slap. it will be a bigger slap than 9/11 was.
