Center on Arizona border serves immigrants returned to Mexico


Associated Press - February 16, 2008 1:04 PM ET

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) - A newly opened center that caters to illegal immigrants returned to Mexico from Arizona has helped more than one thousand people in its first month of operation.

The Migrant Resource Center in the small Mexican border town of Naco is staffed by volunteers from groups on both side of the border.

They offer food, drinks, clothing and advice to migrants freshly dropped off at the border by the US Border Patrol. They also help them receive medical treatment, find a place to sleep or get a bus ride home.

The Mexican Consulate has paid for bus tickets for 100 of the migrants to get home.

But center staff say most of those they help will try again to illegally enter the United States.

Critics say the center just gives migrants a place to rest up for another try to illegally enter the country.

This is why we need to put second timers in Jail for 6 months before sending them back.

They work to help them receive medical treatment at the nearby Red Cross building

OH, so even after returned to Mexico AFTER being in America and receivning their medical care here at the expense of American taxpayers...upon return to Mexico they get FREE medical care by the Red Cross which, of course, is funded by the generiousity of the AMERICAN people. But, I can see the bleeding hearts point...why would anyone want to break a Mexican invader's addiction to the generiouslity of America and her citizens?

Center on Arizona border serves immigrants returned to Mexico

SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) — A newly opened center that caters to illegal immigrants returned to Mexico from Arizona has helped more than 1,000 people in its first month of operation.

The Migrant Resource Center in Naco, a small town on the Mexican border about 100 miles southeast of Tucson, is a bi-national effort of Citizens for Border Solutions in Bisbee, Ariz. and Iglesia del Camino in Naco.

Volunteers at the center offer food, drinks, clothing and advice to migrants freshly dropped off at the border by the U.S. Border Patrol. They work to help them receive medical treatment at the nearby Red Cross building, find a place to sleep or get a bus ride home.

All the help is free.

Most migrants the center sees have been captured by U.S. authorities, and some will try again to make the border crossing. Others, worn out by the ordeal, have given up.

“There are people who want to cross again, which is probably the majority of them, and then there are people that are saying, ‘I am going home,’ â€
