Mexican police nabbed a truck carrying 129 illegal immigrants from Central America heading toward the U.S. border.
The apprehension – one of the biggest in recent months – took place during a routine inspection of a truck on a highway between Puebla and Mexico City in central Mexico, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Mexico has stepped up efforts to intercept illegal immigrants since a crisis flared up last year caused by the record numbers of unaccompanied minors from Central American nations apprehended trying to enter the United States.
It’s noteworthy that a surge in illegal immigration has prompted Mexico to step up enforcement efforts while its prompted Barack Obama to do just the opposite.
