Ft. Smith once had a problem like Tijuana. This is what solved it.

TIJUANA — Less than four months after he was released from a Nevada prison and deported to Mexico, Fermín Pérez Juárez is in trouble again. He is now behind bars in Tijuana, accused along with four others in the kidnapping and torture of a man who was hoping to be smuggled into the United States.
It wasn’t just the brutality of the crime, committed last month in the city’s Zona Norte, that commanded attention in Tijuana newspaper headlines and on TV broadcasts. It was the people allegedly behind the crime: Pérez and the other suspects are deportees with U.S. criminal records, Mexican authorities said.
Illegal immigration is a contentious topic in the United States, but it can be a touchy subject in Mexico, too. This is especially true in northern border cities such as Tijuana, where hundreds of Mexicans are returned each day.The city’s officials say the presence of large numbers of deportees poses public safety problems and further strains social-service programs. Business owners near the border complain that they drive up crime and drive away customers. Deportees say they often are made to feel like convicts even when they are not — ostracized, unable to find work, lacking any family or friends in the area, targeted by police as well as criminals who shake them down and take their money and documents.

No, no, no, Fermin! Wrong! That’s not what the Zona Norte is for, and you know it. The Zona Norte is for two things, and two things only. Getting drunk, and getting your weasel greased.
Does anybody hold their Government to the fire?
Boo-freakin-hoo..
Apparently they have all other crime in mexico eradicated.
When is the last time you saw a crime report out of mexico they didn’t claim was drug related?
LOL
This woman reporter is an idiot.
TOUGH!!! Suck it up Mexico!
“Business owners near the border complain that they drive up crime and drive away customers.”
Gee I feel bad for that fine city. How will the donkey show industry ever survive?/s
Mexico thinks we should keep their illegals here and let them drive up crime here
........................................................
Obama and his Democrat friends think so too.
That would get someone’s “attention”.
Another reason Mexicans infuriate me. Selfish, arrogant bastards who screw up their own country and have the unmitigated gall to barge into the US as if they have some God-given right and when their own people are sent back because they broke our laws, they bitch and moan. F**k you Mexico. Where is your shame? These are your people, why aren’t you doing anything for them?
Agreed. FU Mexico.
More importantly, if La Raza, MeCHA and every other Mexican special interest group is so damn worried about the safety, welfare and future of Mexican immigrants, why do they insist that we keep every Mexican criminal, rapist and murderer on this side of the border?
The answer: Because criminals vote “Democrat”.
donmeaker: “Operation Wetback, during the Eisenhower administration, shipped illegals to Veracruz. That way they had a longer walk to get back to the border.”
My very (Vera?) thought. If Tijuana is overcrowded, we’ll ship them to Veracruz.
I understand your point that bad neighborhoods are just that: bad. But Downtown Detroit is empty at night.
But having criminals dumped in your area who have no connection to the area is not good.
My humble suggestion: scheduled flights of repatriated persons to the capital city of their country where they can be isolated and evaluated.
