Mexico says growing number of children found crossing border illegally
MEXICO CITY The number of children deported from Arizona after U-S agents caught them crossing the border illegally or found them in the desert more than doubled in the first three months of 2006.
That's according to Mexico's Interior Department.
From January through March, Mexican authorities took charge of nearly 33-hundred deported minors at border crossings in the state of Sonora, across from Arizona.
The Interior Department isn't giving a reason for the dramatic increase.
But some analysts say they are witnessing what appears to be a general migrant rush to reach the U-S. They say it appears the migrants are motivated by immigration bills under discussion in the U-S Congress. The measures could legalize some illegal migrants and increase border security.
