For Once, People Without Papers Get Deported From Mexico

Mexico_Deports_People_8_15_07.png Hot off the wire, reports are coming in that Mexican authorities have deported 350 of 7,000 illegals after the U.S.-bound train they were on ran out of track in Chiapas. (Not quite the friendliest-sounding state in Mexico.) The American company in charge of the railway claims it shut down that route two years ago due to ‘hurricane damage.’ A likely story. Either way, our hearts go out to all the Hondurans and Guatemalans who got collared, but more so to those who bailed in time and are ‘free’ to wander the wilderness of southern Mexico. Sucks for them, don’t it?

funny how Mexico conducts their immigration in full effect agaisnt the Hondurans and Guatemalans but criticise the US for doing the exact same thing…

Shame on you mexico

Funny how the previous commenter refers to “Mexico” like it’s a person.

That said I think Guanabee is a good idea but it needs somebody who doesn’t sound like a gringo who thinks nachos are Mexico food— there’s nothing new about migration issues on Mexico’s southern border. Chiapas is a beautiful state with lots of problems, but it’s got some of the best beaches and rain-forest in Mexico.
