TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico (AP) -- Mexican authorities returned about 400 migrants to their native Guatemala Wednesday, a day after they and 113 other migrants were found hidden inside two trailer trucks.

Officials of Mexico's National Immigration Institute said the 113 migrants still being held are from nations that don't share borders with Mexico or are Guatemalan minors or women who require special treatment.

The 400 Guatemalan migrants were returned to their country in air-conditioned buses Wednesday, a stark contrast to the sweltering, overcrowded trailers where they were found.

The remaining migrants include 47 from El Salvador, 32 from Ecuador, 12 from India, six from Nepal, three from China and one each from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, as well as Guatemalan minors and women.

The 113 must have pledged a donation to the Obama campaign.

Don’t be surprised if Mexico digs a moat on their southern border and fills it with alligators.

I have read that they have mines on it. Maybe we should return illegals by air conditioned bus as well.

I was so mad when Zero said that because I told my dad that two years ago when we were discussing the whole fence.

When I worked in Congress the Congresswoman I worked for went to Israel to check out their fence to keep the suicide bombers oops, I mean peaceful freedom fighters /sarc from invading Israel and killing men, women and children.

She has been fighting for this fence but Zero is fiddling while we are being invaded and Big Sis could care less about enforcing immigration!!!

They’re booting unwanted people out both ends while we can’t even get our state and federal governments to stop giving illegals more free stuff to attract them here.

Make some camps.. offer the insurgents jobs if qualified to build the fence at low wages.. Good work makes immigration possible.. for the best workers.. if security is passed.. Feed them make bathrooms and bunks available.. NO BREEDING..

The rest will be returned to Mexico if not the best workers.. with a few bucks..

Can we return the “migrants” that came here from Mexico? Who is head of the Migrant Returns department?

My first reaction was, how bad (t.f.) is life in those other countries that people *want* to live in Mexico. But then I came to my senses and realized they were planning to cross the US border next.
