Mexican airline Volaris offers free flights for separated children

Reuters•June 22, 2018

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican airline Volaris said on Friday it was offering free flights to reunite families separated by the "zero tolerance" immigration policy of U.S. President Donald Trump.

"It hurts us to see these children without their parents and it is our vocation to reunite them," Volaris said in a statement.

The airline said it would work with authorities in the United States, Mexico and Central America to offer free flights on its pre-existing routes to reunite children with their parents.

According to its website, Volaris flies to over 65 locations across Mexico, the United States, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

After facing an uproar at home and abroad, Trump bowed to intense pressure on Wednesday and signed an order ending the separation of children from their families while parents were prosecuted for crossing the border illegally.

This week, four major U.S. airlines asked the federal government not to use their flights to transport migrant children away from their parents.

Some of the over 2,300 children separated from their parents since mid-April have been flown to states far from the border area between Mexico and the United States, where their parents are being charged in immigration courts, according to media reports.

There have been some cases of immigrants being deported without their children. On Thursday, El Salvador demanded a seven-year old boy be returned to his father who was deported back to the Central American country this week.

As long as they are flying them back to their own country.

The American airlines refused to fly them around the United States. I presume they do not fly to Honduras.

I agree, it must be a one way flight back to their original homeland, not from Mexico or Central America into the United States!

It figures! I wrote "American airlines" with a lower case "a" in "airlines because United, Frontier as well as American, were involved in that boycott. I guess John missed the point of what I wrote.
