Looking at deportation from south of the border, I saw our own flawed attitudes about migration

Mexico City — a teetering metropolis that sits at an elevation of 7,300 feet and that’s more than 20 million people strong — is a hard place to navigate even for those who were born here and never left. It’s especially challenging for those who left years ago in search of a better life in America and now find themselves back here and needing to start over, in a city dealing with issues like poverty and corruption.

Is there only Distrito Federal? Can returnees not go to any of the 32 states?

They are being sent back home. Its their home country. Its like you got caught overstaying your welcome in France and they sent you back to the States. You’ll miss the good pastry, but you’ll learn to like donuts again.

Too bad someone cannot find the records of Western Union of all the funds they send south of the border every week.

IF you live anywhere near a Western Union outlet, find out for yourself-—go there on Friday—Saturday—and Sunday. The lines are long & those people are not SWEDES !!!!

On our side of the U.S./Mexico border, from Florida to Washington state, these repatriated Mexicans left behind jobs, loved ones and community ties.

Then, no doubt, Tyrone would support a policy to deport illegal infiltrators immediately, instead of practicing a catch and release policy that basically allows them several years to put down roots.

We could be doing more, like coming down hard on those who employ illegals, and cutting off all welfare. Medical care should be limited to "life, limb, eyesight"--the exact same standard that the military involved in operations overseas uses when treating foreigners. If we take away the carrots, the incentive to invade our country drops.

And as importantly, it’d be nice to know where he lives, who his neighbors are and where he does his socializing. Something tells me that many of his neighbors are named Paul, Mary, John, Kevin, Susan, etc etc etc. And they all go to the newest microbrewery, sushi restaurant, and craft bourbon bar, where all the other liberal, hipsters hang out. BTW, those neighborhoods tend to be some of the whitest, trendiest, and expensive neighborhoods around.

The immigrants he alleges to care so much about are only there to wash dishes, bus the tables, do the cooking, paint the houses, mow the lawn, do the housekeeping, pour concrete and rebuild your deck. After they’re done with all of that, they are required to go back to their favella. Where they can drink their Budweisers, molest young girls and raise all sorts of hell.

Not only that, but many illegals have a wife and kids in Mexico and another wife with anchor babies up here.

Only In America would politicians ignore this. But then the price is paid by Americans Who Don’t Count and who can be safely ignored.
