Undocumented immigrants in a U.S. detention center await deportation. Most are men. The majority eventually will be sent to Mexico.

Mexico’s top federal immigration official in Baja California says for now, the Trump administration is on par with Obama era deportations.

“Around 60,000 were deported to Baja, California state each year in 2014, 2015 and 2016. And in the first months of 2017, the numbers remain consistent with Obama’s pace,” said Rodulfo Figueroa, a Mexican immigration official.

Many deportees have no money and nowhere to go. In Mexicali, hundreds find their way to the “Migrant Hotel.” The most recent arrivals are Haitians, who hoped to enter the U.S. as refugees. They see their chances of success decreasing with Donald Trump in the White House.

The hotel for deported migrants has become so full that many are sleeping here up on the roof top; the director says some stay one or two weeks and others -like the Haitians- take five to six months here.

39-year-old Pedro Trejo was deported seven times. In the U.S., he ran his own construction business and had several employees. Now he’s alone in Mexico and separated from his U.S.-born daughter.

As the Trump administration talks of increasing deportations, the shelter’s director prepares to receive them.

“Our shelter is now filled with Haitians and Central Americans. We will soon go beyond capacity. We have another building to house them, as we prepare for Trump’s mass deportations,” said Sergio Tamai, Director of the “Migrant Hotel.”

Many of the immigrants in this shelter cling to the dream of one day living and working in the United States, but the reality is their futures are far from certain. For now, they are learning to adapt to life in this border city.

Why don't they go to Mexico City? That's a nice place with lots of opportunity. Hey Stupids! Go to Mexico City or Cancun or somewhere nice in your country. There are many places in Mexico to go to. You are not coming back here so why waste your life in a border town? It's goofy and crazy to do that.

They're broke and Mexico City is 1,428 miles from Tijuana or 965 miles from Juarez.

From the article: "Many deportees have no money and nowhere to go."

Mexico City (Mexico) » Tijuana (Mexico) Distance, Miles and Kilometer
The calculated distance (air line) between Mexico City and Tijuana is approximately 1,428 Miles respectively 2,297 Kilometer.

Mexico City (Mexico) » Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) Distance, Miles and ...
The calculated distance (air line) between Mexico City and Ciudad Juárez is approximately 965 Miles respectively 1,553 Kilometer.

They've got the two feet they walked all that way here on, they can use them to walk all the way to Mexico City. They can hitch-hike, do some odd jobs, pick up a few bucks, do some farm work, they love farm work don't they? You know all those jobs Americans won't do? They can paint a house, pick some weeds, so some landscaping, you know all those jobs Americans won't do? Or they can just walk and eat berries. They can be nice to the people of their country who will help them, right? Their country they're so proud of, their country of Cinco de Mayo? They can call their government and ask for some help getting relocated to where their family and relatives are located. These people don't sound very enterprising to me. I'm glad they're out of here.

I was talking to an illegal from cancun and I asked her why would you leave cancun it is beautiful. She told me it is nice if you want to starve looking at the scenery. She said there is no work in cancun. Mexico city has become very dangerous this is one of the places that still hold international well known slave auctions of small children, women and boys. It has become real nasty and has been for years. I remember visiting my sister in-law in San Antonio years ago and there were warning to watch your children closely and not to let the out of your sight. They were snatching children and taking them over the boarder to Mexico City to auction them off. My niece is a police dispatcher and she confirmed it.

That is just terrible, posylady, but she needs to head back to Mexico and fix her disgusting country.
