U.S. may start deporting criminal illegal immigrants deep into Mexico

ATLANTA -- The United States and Mexico are negotiating plans to start deporting criminal illegal immigrants deep into Mexico rather than releasing them at the border, hoping to stop adding to the criminal chaos south of the border.
Some possible outcomes are fewer repeat illegal border crossings and fewer deportation flights, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
Last fiscal year, the government spent $120.9 million deporting 182,655 people by plane.
Of those, 17,777 were flown out of Georgia's Columbus Airport and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport, according to ICE. And most of them -- 13,806 -- were deported to Mexico.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was recently given access to one of those flights, where the newspaper found most on the plane had criminal records. They were being flown to a small town in Texas and would be bused to the border.
Several of those interviewed said they were upset about leaving their U.S.-born children and frightened of returning to Mexico amid the drug violence. The government is now flying most Mexican illegal immigrants to Arizona and Texas and releasing them at Mexican ports of entry along the border.
The deliberations between the two nations jibe with the Obama administration's emphasis on deporting criminal illegal immigrants.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano advanced the talks with Mexican officials in February when she signed a memorandum of cooperation with them.
ICE officials declined to release a copy of the memo. But they provided some details during interviews this month, saying the plans could involve year-round flights from some U.S. border states into Mexico.
The government flew more than 102,000 illegal immigrants to the interior of Mexico over the last eight years as part of a voluntary humanitarian program designed to stop human smuggling and save lives.
But that program does not focus on criminals.
Rather, it applies to illegal immigrants found in the Sonoran Desert region of Arizona. And it operates only during the summer.
