 Mexico To Deport 500 Migrants Who Rushed U.S. Border

Good move!

Via   BBC:


Mexico will deport almost 500 migrants who attempted to storm the US border, according to its interior ministry.

The group were rounded up after trying to cross the border “violently” and “illegally” on Sunday, the ministry said in a statement.

Video footage shows dozens of people – including women and children – running towards the fence that separates the two countries near the city of Tijuana.

They were repelled by tear gas used by US border officers.

Mexico’s interior ministry said all those who were identified as having tried to cross would be deported immediately.
It added that, “far from helping their objectives”, the migrants’ actions had violated the legal migration framework and could have led to a “serious incident”.

Mexico, specifically near the U. S. border, is rapidly learning that these "migrants" are a helluva lot more problems than they are beneficial.   I wouldn't doubt that the Mexican government is going to ramp up their defense forces and put a much stronger block on their Southern border to stop the influx.

Glad to see Mexico contributing to solving  the problem rather than enabling it.

Knowing how corrupt the Mexican government and authorities are. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just shake them down for bribe money and shuttle them down the road to a hidden tunnel the cartels pay them to protect. 

I have a friend that was a Vice President at AutoZone. He was responsible for the Mexican division. He said almost everything he did there required greasing palms at all levels of government.

500 to be deported! Ohh, I am so impressed, noottt! This just another case of smoke and mirror journalism by the media. What so many folks that do not live near the border do not realize is that the border in AZ is so porous, it has more holes in it than one of my wife's pasta strainers! Thousands of illegals are already getting though regularly without being apprehended despite what the media tries to portray.

I live in SW NM, 42 miles from the border at El Paso.  We see, regularly, many "groups" of persons walking through the desert next to town, or in town where our population has grown from 36% Hispanic 10 years ago to 71% Hispanic today.  Our property values have dropped due to the "barrios" being established - historic downtown is no more with the influx.  We have a border patrol station that is overwhelmed in their catch/deport activities and the friggin' city council has just voted to make the town a sanctuary city.  Crime has increased tremendously - auto accidents by non-insured has quadrupled - schools/hospitals are jam packed with non-citizens/Illegal Aliens - law enforcement is smothered with the "Family Violence" incidents where no one in the household speaks any English and the bleeding wife/husband/child with probable broken bones denies that anything happened 'cause the neighbors would "correct" them when the police leave.

It ain't pretty and it needs to be cleaned up.

Bad news in NM with the win for that socialist Deb Haaland. This is her position. 

“This country was built by immigrants. As a Native American woman, my family has experienced the violence of government-enforced family separation. I will always fight to keep families together. ICE is an out of control institution that is terrorizing American families. I want to stop deportations, protect DREAMers, and I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants in America. I will fight tirelessly against Trump’s racist and astronomically expensive wall. Immigration policy must recognize this country's dependency on (and exploitation of) immigrant labor, and treat with dignity and humanity those who work and build their families here.”  Deb Haaland

There is a legal method to emigrate.  And then there's this. Glad to see Mexico getting tired of this.  Maybe it wouldn't have gotten to this if they had engorced their southern border.

What is the "legal method" to seek asylum?  I already know the answer, do you?

Come through an airport or other port of entry and surrender yourself to a CPB Officer. The person seeking asylum is booked, fingerprinted, questioned, and placed into custody.

That is 1 method, but not the only "legal" one.  You know what another "legal" method of seeking asylum is?  Crossing the border, at night, when no one can see you and the 1st time a border patrol agent spots you, you say "I'm seeking asylum".

Both your example and mine are perfectly legal under US asylum laws.

It's not showing up at the border and hurling rocks at US law enforcement and calling them putos.

People are preventing you from protecting your family, what steps would you take to protect YOUR family?  The people preventing you are also doing so illegally, so what would YOU do then?

Don't know if it is the same info, but I found an article that mentioned deporting 2000.

Maybe the US government needs to either demand that the UN send in troops to protect the citizens or impose sanctions against corrupt governments that are not protecting the citizens of those countries.  

Or maybe Mexico will seal its southern border and the migrants will head south instead of north.  However, this is doubtful because Honduras is being dependent on remittances from their citizens living in the US.  The remittances rose from 484 million dollars in 2000 to 3.3 billion dollars in 2014.   How are Hondurans making enough money to live in the US and have 3.3 billion dollars to send back home?  Those jobs that "Americans won't do" must be paying damn good wages.

TIJUANA, Mexico — The Trump admin. does not want the caravan of Central American migrants to enter the U.S. But members of the caravan are also facing a growing backlash in Mexico, according to a new survey.

A   poll   released Sunday by El Universal, one of Mexico's biggest newspapers, found   seven in 10 Mexicans   have a negative view about the arrival of the migrant families, with more than half — 52 percent — supporting blocking them from entering the country without legal documents and 55 percent supporting tougher measures on future caravans.

Support for the migrant families has also dropped in the last few months, the survey found. This has implications for President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who takes office on Dec. 1: About half, 52 percent, of Mexicans opposed his announced measure to give work visas to Central American migrants, while 40 percent support the measure.

Since Oct. 19, Mexican authorities have deported nearly 2,000 Central American migrants who were part of the various caravans that have taken place during the past months. A total of 11,000 migrants who had no legal immigration status in Mexico have been deported back to countries in Central America, according to   a report from The National Institute of Migration , a gubernatorial unit that controls and supervises migration in Mexico.

The migrants are being returned to countries facing the highest levels of violence worldwide. The countries of the Northern Triangle of Central America — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — have murder rates that are three to eight times higher than what the World Health Organization considers to be epidemic levels,   according to Amnesty International .

Info about Central Americans in the US.  

In 2015, approximately 3.4 million Central Americans resided in the United States, representing 8 percent of the 43.3 million U.S. immigrants. Eighty-five percent of Central Americans in the United States were from the Northern Triangle, formed by El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. 

However, large-scale Central American migration is not a new phenomenon. Civil wars, political instability, and economic hardship first drove significant numbers of Central Americans northward in the 1980s, when the population from that region living in the United States more than tripled. Despite the end of political conflicts in the early 1990s, additional migration was driven by family unification, natural disasters, and persistent political and economic volatility, with many individuals entering illegally. Following a series of natural disasters in the region, Salvadorans, Hondurans, and Nicaraguans became eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS), offering provisional protection against deportation and eligibility for work authorization. TPS has been renewed for Honduras and Nicaragua until January 2018, and El Salvador until March 2018.

The region continues to suffer from poor political and socioeconomic conditions, including some of the world’s highest homicide rates and widespread gang violence, which drive ongoing migration. A growing number of unaccompanied children and families from Central America have arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border since 2011, largely from the Northern Triangle. In fiscal year (FY) 2016 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intercepted nearly 46,900 unaccompanied children and more than 70,400 family units from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.

From 1980 to 2015, the size of the Central American immigrant population grew nearly tenfold (see Figure 1)

The majority of Central Americans who have obtained lawful permanent residence in the United States (also known as receiving a green card) did so through family reunification channels. Compared to the overall foreign- and U.S.-born populations, Central Americans  on average were significantly less educated, but more likely to be employed. 

Distribution by State and Key Cities

Almost half of immigrants from Central America have settled in three states: California (27 percent), Texas (12 percent), and Florida (11 percent). In the 2011-15 period, the top four counties with Central American immigrants were Los Angeles County in California, Harris County in Texas, Miami-Dade County in Florida, and Prince George’s County in Maryland. These four counties together accounted for about 30 percent of the total Central American immigrant population in the United States.

The U.S. cities with the most Central Americans in the 2011-15 period were the greater Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, DC, Miami, and Houston metropolitan areas (see Figure 3). These five metropolitan areas accounted for 52 percent of Central Americans in the United States.

Central American immigrants tend to have significantly lower educational attainment compared to the overall foreign- and native-born adult populations. In 2015, 49 percent of Central American immigrants ages 25 and over had not finished high school,

Central American immigrants were considerably more likely to be employed in service occupations (33 percent); natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations (23 percent); and production, transportation, and material-moving occupations (19 percent) than both the overall foreign- and native-born populations (see Figure 5).

Income and Poverty

Central Americans had considerably lower incomes and higher poverty rates than the overall foreign- and U.S.-born populations. In 2015, the median income of households headed by a Central American immigrant was $42,000, compared to $51,000 and $56,000 for overall foreign- and native-born households, respectively. All Central American origin groups had lower median household income than the total foreign-born population.

In 2015, 22 percent of Central American immigrant families lived in poverty, a higher share than for all immigrant (16 percent) and native-born families (9 percent). The poverty rate was highest for immigrant families from Honduras and Guatemala (approximately 28 percent each), followed by those from El Salvador (19 percent). In contrast, between 12 percent and 13 percent of immigrant families from Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua were in poverty.

Immigration Pathways and Naturalization

Central American immigrants were less likely than the overall foreign-born population to be naturalized citizens, partly due to the large presence of TPS beneficiaries and unauthorized individuals ineligible for U.S. citizenship. In 2015, just 33 percent of the 3.4 million Central Americans residing in the United States were naturalized U.S. citizens, compared to 48 percent of all immigrants.  

The majority (79 percent) of Central American immigrants who became lawful permanent residents (LPRs) in FY 2015 did so through family-based channels. More than half (52 percent) of new Central American LPRs were immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, followed by those who qualified via other family-sponsored preferences (27 percent). Central Americans were much less likely to become LPRs via employment-based preferences (9 percent) or as refugees and asylees (3 percent) than the overall LPR population (see Figure 7).

Unauthorized Immigrants

In the 2010-14 period, approximately 1.7 million Central American unauthorized immigrants resided in the United States, according to Migration Policy Institute (MPI) estimates, representing 15 percent of the 11 million total unauthorized population. Guatemala (723,000), El Salvador (465,000), and Honduras (337,000) were among the top five origin countries of unauthorized immigrants, between Mexico (about 6.2 million) and China (268,000).

In 2016, approximately 124,000 youth from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras were immediately eligible for work authorization and relief from deportation through the  Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
