TIJUANA, Mexico: Mexican border cities are struggling with an influx of migrants who are being dumped on their streets after being deported by the U.S. government, which has been kicking out illegal migrants at record levels, migrant relief groups say.

Many of those deported have spent decades working at restaurants, offices and in the fields from California to North Carolina.

Some return to Mexico virtually penniless after spending their savings on lawyers fees to fight their deportation orders and wind up living on the tough, crime-ridden streets of border cities like Tijuana, across from San Diego, California, where they must fend off corrupt police, gangs and thieves, migrant groups say.

They survive by washing car windows or doing other odd jobs or by simply begging, and many sleep on a river levee in Tijuana, where humanitarian volunteers bring them food and water.

Since 2004 the government has been deporting more than 1 million illegal migrants each year.

Where is the $20B a year that illegals have been sending home gone? Don't feed us with any more sad stories. The compassion belongs to Americans not illegals

They survive by washing car windows or doing other odd jobs or by simply begging, and many sleep on a river levee in Tijuana, where humanitarian volunteers bring them food and water.

Let's just change that sentence to how they lived before they were deported: In the United States they survived by washing car windows, cleaning toilets, mowing lawns and doing other menial jobs and by simply begging(i.e. welfare, free schooling, WIC etc), and many slept in housing unwillingly paid for by the citizens of the US.

They shouldn't have fought the deportation orders. They could have saved the money that was spent on lawyers and they wouldn't be homeless.

This is a good thing, maybe it will prompt them to start marching in the streets demanding free school, welfare, health care from their own loving government...
I mean they have no problem marching on U.S. soil making demands so this should be easy for them....Oh, I forgot if they march in in their own countries they will be silenced by being threatened, beaten or locked up and the key thrown away...
