JUAREZ, Mexico — When he crossed illegally into the U.S. in 2002, Cesar Sanchez didn't plan on stabbing a girlfriend's estranged husband eight times.
Yet there he was, a convicted murderer dropped at the Texas border last month—one less worry for U.S. officials but a source of concern for the cities in Central America receiving thousands of freed convicts.
"I crossed like so many others; for a dream," said Sanchez, 25, wondering how he'd make it back to his family in Veracruz. "And, then ..."
U.S. Immigration officials are escalating efforts to put some 450,000 illegal immigrants serving prison time in the U.S. on planes back home. In 2008, about 113,000 such convicts were deported.
But in the areas on the receiving end, some wonder whether the influx could in turn chase frustrated residents over the border.
"It's just one more variable that Juarez has to contend with," said Lucinda Vargas, director of a Juarez group trying to rescue a city gripped by warring drug cartels.
In El Salvador, where the number of criminal deportees rose 28 percent last year to 6,212, a group called Homies Unidos struggles to reform gang members flooding home, a factor in making that nation Latin America's most violent per capita.
In Guatemala, the influx taxes aid programs for returning countrymen.

Seems to me that violent criminals should feel right at home in Mexico.
And all this is our problem because...?
Could mexico start refusing to take them back?

Yes, just because he bladantly broke the law once doesn't mean he wouldn't do it again......
How do you get them there?
So we’re supposed to feel sorry for these vermin. Pathetic.
Awwww, cry me a river.
I'd rather we deport them somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico.
Is this The Onion? “Cesar Sanchez didn’t plan on stabbing a girlfriend’s estranged husband eight times.” What a sad story! Brings a tear to my eye.
Once again, it's our fault illegals are coming here.
This has been tried before will little success. Many released in the south have made it back to the US in a little as three days. The problem is at the border.
Drop them from a plan without a parachute.
Mainly because they aren't seriously deporting them. Most will be back in country in less than 24 hours. Personally, I'd support dropping them out the back of airplanes in Chiapas.
Quite possibly. I’d say send them back with a battalion of Marines to make sure they were landed if that happened.
How about Antarctica? I hear it's no too crowded there.
“When he crossed illegally into the U.S. in 2002, Cesar Sanchez didn’t plan on stabbing a girlfriend’s estranged husband eight times.”
It was the knife’s fault, no doubt.
The clown that wrote this should get a swift kick in the nuts.

"It's just one more variable that Juarez has to contend with," said Lucinda Vargas,...Tell ya what Lucinda. How about we just dump them all in the Yucatan instead, and from 20,00 feet with a WWII Army surplus parachute. Wait I forgot, those parachutes are long gone. So we'll just have to it from 10,000 feet without any parachute.
Problem solved. [Problema solucionado.]
