REYNOSA, Mex. – Mexican migrant shelters are expecting a rise in the number of deportees following President Trump’s executive orders.

Senda De Vida Casa Del Migrante, a migrant shelter in Reynosa, is struggling to keep up with the tide of people deported from the U.S.

Hector Silva operates the respite center. He said the U.S. has deported around 60 to 80 people a day in the past weeks.

Silva said they received about 160 deportees on Thursday. He said many of them return distraught after being separated from their families still living in the U.S.

“We’ve had families over the last few days who cannot sleep. They can’t handle the situation because they are so far from where they were living,” he said.

Deportee Oscar Martinez Rosas said he was living illegally in Jacksonville, Florida when ICE agents detained him about a month ago.

“I was working, doing construction work and ICE took me. They were trying to find someone else and they took me,” he said.

Martinez said his parents sent him to the U.S. as a child with a cousin many years ago. He said this is his first time back in his native country.

“It’s hard because I don’t know about Mexico. It’s different. I hear about cartels, mafias and all that. So, yeah it’s bad news,” he said.

Martinez said he doesn’t plan to stay at the shelter for long.

“You can go to Canada if you are from Mexico and you have a passport… You can go there and work and be legal, because Canada is different from the United States,” he said.

He said although the U.S. is home, he won’t return until he’s able to do so legally.

Others in the shelter said they fear crossing the border illegally one more time, but they also fear staying in Reynosa. They don’t have the resources to return to their Mexican hometowns or Central American home countries.

Silva said he needs more support from the Tamaulipas government to help people find a way home and keep them comfortable while they’re at the shelter. He said the shelter is already running low on food and hygiene items

“If we have more people, we are going to have more problems with food, clothing and hygiene. We are preparing to give support to all these families,” he said.

The migrant shelter director said he expects bigger crowds of deportees in the coming weeks.

Mexico can load up "The Beast" train back to Central America to get them out.

“You can go to Canada if you are from Mexico and you have a passport… You can go there and work and be legal, because Canada is different from the United States,” he said.

Not exactly true but consider the source, an illegal that for some reason did not sign up for daca but his story would seem to make him eligible.
Unless laws have changed, you cannot stay year round in Canada. A friend has an out in the middle of nowhere cabin and he would only be allowed to live there for 9mths a year. Don't think this fellow can just show his mexican passport and be in like flint in Canada. Also if you are a foreigner with a visa for USA, you cannot just go into Canada, you need to apply for another visa for Canada entry.

Others in the shelter said they fear crossing the border illegally one more time, but they also fear staying in Reynosa. They don’t have the resources to return to their Mexican hometowns or Central American home countries.

That's why we should have coordinated flights to the middle and southern portions of Mexico. Let's work with Mexico to have these illegals sent closer to their original villages or the southern Mexican border. Shuffling them directly across the border is just inviting them to return again. Unless it is cost prohibitive I think flying them to the interior would be a better idea, at least until our border is completely secured. Just my opinion.

Even though mexico allowed central americans to enter their country to travel thru and enter the USA, I do not think we will be able to legally dump them over our border into mexico. mexico is already taking such - "we will go to the UN" - etc, etc. SCUMBAGS why did you allow them to pass thru your country - to complete the overtaking of USA by illegal hispanics and add to your already illegal mexicans = A TAKEOVER.

Well, maybe it's time we assigned a few military transport planes to ICE and have them make repeated trips to Honduras or wherever.
