    Mexico Officials Begin to Disrupt Surge Alien Travel to the United States

    Mexico Officials Begin to Disrupt Surge Alien Travel to the United States

    Immigration officials have begun efforts in southern Mexico to prevent Central Americans from boarding north-bound trains. Officials are also raiding certain towns in the south and rounding up aliens, especially those with gang tattoos.

    Thus far, officials claim to have pulled 6,000 aliens from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador off a train called "The Beast" and returned them to their countries. They say the effort will help ensure the aliens' safety, but that Central Americans interviewed by the Associated Press dispute the claim.

    "That's a lie. It doesn't make us safer," said one alien who was seeking to return to meatpacking plants in the U.S. where he had worked previously. "Look how we are in the woods, drinking water that can be infected…They won't stop us. If they detain 100, another 300, 400 will come."

    Mexico said it is using satellite imagery to monitor rail lines to help prevent illegal aliens from reaching the United States. The technology also is intended to "prevent migrants from putting at risk the safety of the trains which are for cargo, not passengers," according to Humberto Mayans from the Mexican Interior Ministry.

    Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto had promised in July to implement plans to secure Mexico's border with Guatemala. With implementation underway, Nieto visited California Monday on a two-day visit designed to push amnesty for Mexican nationals living illegally in the U.S.

    "We want to be a factor of cohesion, not division, with full respect for the sovereignty of the United States," Nieto said. "This, at the end, is about — and only about — a matter of justice for those who contribute so much to the development of the American society."

    Nieto also took a swipe at states that prefer immigration enforcement over amnesty. "There are still states that have not evolved so much as California, that still skimp on recognition and, even worse, the rights of immigrants," he said. "Those who still believe and bet for the exclusion and discrimination or the rejection of diversity ... I only have one thing to say: the future, and a very near future, will demonstrate your ethical mistake. Time will show we're right."

    Mexico authorities stage midnight raid on migrants heading north on freight train 'The Beast'

    SAN RAMON, Mexico – The lumbering freight train known as "The Beast," a key part of the route for migrants heading north to the United States, rolled to an abrupt, unscheduled stop in the black of midnight.

    Mexican federal police and immigration agents had waited silently in the brush alongside for at least hour, visible only by the glint of their powerful flashlights.

    As the train stopped, the area was suddenly flooded with spotlights as agents pounced from both sides of the track, scaling ladders to the tops of the freight cars and shouting: "Federal police! Give up! You're surrounded! Come down carefully!"

    About a dozen men, some literally spitting with anger and desperation, were firmly led off the track, an agent's hand on the back of their necks neck, and taken to waiting vans for processing and deportation. Agents helped a lone female migrant clambering over a coupling between cars to reach their van, telling her "Walk carefully, don't fall."

    "Don't touch me," she snarled.

    The scene early Friday would have been unheard of in Mexico during the decades in which Central American migrants were allowed to freely hop freight trains to reach the U.S. border. But the raid is part of a crackdown that has sharply reduced the number of women and children trying to make their way to the United States, where they turn themselves into the U.S. Border Patrol — an exodus that caused what U.S. leaders call a crisis at the border.

    Fewer than 15 migrants were detained Friday on a train that once carried 600 to 1,000 migrants at a time. It seemed — at least temporarily — like the end of an era for the train the migrants dubbed "La Bestia" because of all the travelers who had been maimed or killed trying to hitch a ride.

    But the migrants, fleeing unemployment, violence and poverty in their home countries, have been only temporarily deterred by past strategies. Some already have devised ways to avoid capture under the new crackdown. One lone migrant escaped Friday's raid by lying flat on the roof of the last freight car and managing to stay aboard as the train pulled out.

    Police said the most experienced border crossers wait near the back of the 50-car train, where they have more time to react when it stops.

    They know it's hard for police to patrol the entire length of the train.

    OK, the wealthy in Mexico want to keep dumping their poor people on us. And if it looks as if 'Bama will get amnesty for their illegals who are already undercutting Americans for jobs, the Mexicans will stem the flood of illegals from the Central American countries.

    IMO this is a very good time to press for Universal E-Verify. That'll let the wealthy in Mexico know that the game is over and that they'll have to figure out how to handle their poor people, who will now be looking to them, to improve the lives of poor Mexicans
