On its southern border, Mexico is detaining record numbers of migrants. Human rights advocates complain of dismal conditions in overcrowded detention centers, where migrants are forced to sleep outside or in kitchens or hallways.
Among López Obrador’s major policy shifts in immigration was to bow to U.S. demands that Mexico house asylum-seekers from Central America and elsewhere who are awaiting hearings in U.S. immigration courts. The arrangement was a Trump administration request that López Obrador’s widely unpopular predecessor, Enrique Peña Nieto, had flatly rejected.
More than 50,000 non-Mexicans seeking asylum or other relief in the United States have been expelled to Mexico by U.S. authorities under the so-called Remain in Mexico program. Their presence has become a major burden for Mexico’s northern border towns. Many sent back to Mexico have been victims of kidnapping, extortion and other crimes, according to migrants and rights groups.

BTW, I read (on FR, of course) that those fleeing their country actually make things worse for those left behind. Why aren't Leftists wailing about that?
Well said.
Maybe they shouldn't be in Mexico illegally (or at all)...
On immigration and especially illegal immigration, all of our presidents from JFK until Trump failed us. Prior to Trump, Eisenhower was the last president to do something about illegals crossing our southern border. The problem increased exponentially when Reagan signed the only amnesty for illegal aliens in our history.
President "Can-Do" outwits them with a force field.
His name *is* Tr(i)ump(h). They never learn.
Winning!
It's like when Joseph's brothers failed to recognize him, but who else but Joseph could pull this kind of stuff off.
History is prophecy.
“How can somebody be a critic to this?”
EXACTLY. While they Left maintains that Americans have no right to screen who enters our country, on what moral basis do they have to demand that Mexicans have no right to screen the people entering their country?
ANSWER: NONE. Mexico is a sovereign country and thus has the TOTAL RIGHT to permit, or not permit, anyone to enter*.
*unlike the US, where leftist judges are the only ones who can make that determination

(TALK ABOUT FAKE NEWS)
Just heard that the Democrats, Led by Schumer and Pelosi have given an OPEN APOLOGY to President Donald J Trump for belittling him about his ‘offhand’ comment over Mexico ‘paying’ for the border wall.
(TALK ABOUT FAKE NEWS)
With all the BS coming from the LIB side, including HRC and that band of ‘rogue Justice Dept/FBI types’ is further proof that one cannot be ‘nice’ to or try to ‘deal’ with the Liberals.
By all that is right, that whole gang should already by serving Prison sentences or at least FIRED and any and all Govt money/security clearances discontinued.
Being in Virginia, it hit home when the Rs sat back and did nothing when the LIBs were trying to destroy the ‘top 3’ in VA - when the LIBs finally realized they had to ‘save’ them, otherwise the Rs would have the top 3 spots AND both sides of the aisle.
Now ‘we’ are stuck with dealing with Northam and the other rights grabbing LIBs, wholly sponsored and funded by Soros and Bloomberg(Talk about irony- Bloomberg talks of PDJT and election interference/influencing, yet B ‘brags’ about influencing elections).
By turning back caravans, Mexico is acting as Trump’s border wall,criticsPartisan Media Shills and other Democrats say
What’s their complaint? These anti-American democrats want illegal aliens.
And if you go back to the archives, obrador even said he will not pay for the wall and wont listen to Trump. And proud to be a socialist lol
Good and take back about 30 million more
My question exactly.
Darn tootin!
“a bad thing”
Those dems really do not like folks following the law.
“Many sent back to Mexico have been victims of kidnapping, extortion and other crimes, according to migrants and rights groups.”
So these writers for the LA Times are calling Mexicans criminals, kidnappers and extortionists.
It isn’t about helping those people but about undermining the United States.
Exactly.
Mexico IS in fact “paying for the wall.”
Another promise kept, Haha!
Because the leftists don't really care about them. They are a means to an end, no more.
Someone posted that the Dems are impeaching Trump because they believe that foreigner interfered in our election YET they are just fine with illegal foreigners VOTING in our elections!!!
