Any additional funding that gets provided for this purpose, and the Mexicans aren't likely to provide much, will find its way into some corrupt prison officials pocket and nothing will change for the immigrants.

Reciprocity is one of the MAJOR principles of International Law. Watch the fence go up Vicente my man!
I've talked to many of the Central Americans that have been apprehended. They have mentioned to me that they get humane treatment.

Hypocritical Mexico ping!
I hope we put a few million anti-personell land mines next to it and bury some of them real deep.
