Enter Illegally in Arizona, Get Deported Out of Texas - A Deterrent for Illegal Immigration?0 Comments

Last week, buses filled with as many as 47 undocumented immigrant males aged 20-60 began transporting the men to the Texas-Mexico border once again. The program began in November of 2009, and sent undocumented immigrants found in Arizona to Texas to be deported to Ojinaga, Mexico. At the time, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and other state officials were worried about the increased number of immigrants in their state and claimed the area could not handle the new population.

Last December, the U.S. Border Patrol temporarily stopped the transports because officials believed fewer immigrants were crossing into Arizona, and the time between the program’s reinstatement allowed for an evaluation of the programs successes or failures.

However, Del Rio,Texas is seeing the buses roll in. Del Rio is now seeing almost 100 unauthorized immigrants arrive daily as they wait to be “repatriatedâ€

Government waste and inefficient deportation practices.

This seems wasteful to me. Why are we carting illegal aliens from say Tucson, AZ to Del Rio, TX? 743 miles away? Waste of time that could be spent deporting more illegal aliens.

What's that costing us in drivers and guards salaries, tolls, tags, licenses, fuel and maintenance on the buses?

Wouldn't it be cheaper to send them back out of AZ?
