El Manana (Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas) 1/7/08

Aurelio Alaman Bueno, regional delegate of the "INM" (Mex. Immigr.) said that undocumented emigrants from Central and South America are being deported to Mexico at Nuevo Laredo because of the lack of personnel to verify their citizenship.
"The undocumented are very smart, they claim to be Mexicans to avoid being sent to their country of origin, on top of the fact that American officials have no way of verifying if it's true that they are not from our country."
The "sub-delegate", Juan Lorenzo Sabines Cordova, said that the Border Patrol ought to let them know the date and time when the groups of deported are going to be left halfway on the (border) bridge so that they can ascertain the citizenship of the deportees.
