WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The United States and Mexico have resumed a program to return illegal immigrants to their towns of origin inside Mexico.

The Interior Repatriation Program, implemented by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Mexican government, transports illegal immigrants to their hometowns in the interior of the country instead of towns along the border to discourage the returned parties from attempting to re-enter the United States, The Washington Times reported Monday.

"By quickly returning aliens to the interior of Mexico rather than to the Mexican border, both nations seek so save lives and discourage additional illegal border crossings through hostile, desert terrain," ICE spokeswoman Kadia Koroma told the newspaper.

The program, which officially resumed Friday with a flight carrying 67 illegal immigrants back to their hometowns, is dedicated to ensuring "the safe, effective and humanitarian return of Mexican nationals illegally in the United States," Koroma said.

67 down, many more to go.

Heard something about this on the radio yesterday. It was mentioned only once and in passing (kind of glossed over) and I didn't hear anything else about it the rest of the day.

Only 298,500 flights to go. I wonder what that will cost?

I'd just dump them somewhere in a remote village on the Mexico-Guatemala border and let their goverment figure it out.

That's one cause I'd gladly donate money to!!

I agree with taking them to the interior of their country of origin but not delivering them home. For crying out loud, not door-to-door service. What a way to waste money and time. Drop them off on the coastline or at the airport and be done with it. No more coddling the illegals!

They didn't get here via plane so send them back via the cheapist method possible. Can't that plane carry more than 67 passengers? Fill it to capacity, then fly it out of here!

My cattle trailer is still available for loan!
