Mexican border town gearing up to deal returning migrants

YUMA - Officials in a Mexican border town are weighing their options for dealing with the large number of migrants that they expect to see returning to Mexico as Arizona's employer sanctions law takes hold.

The officials in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, across the border from San Luis, Ariz., are looking at the possibility of establishing a city-run assistance center for repatriated immigrants, Mayor Ruben Espino said.

They're also looking at an alternative idea of allocating city funds for the city's existing Casa del Migrante, an immigrant shelter also under city jurisdiction, Espino said.

The mayor said he would prefer to put more funding into the existing shelter since that would appear to be less costly than creating and staffing an assistance center.

Espino said the city will need financial assistance from Mexico's federal government to handle the anticipated influx of immigrants, who sometimes remain homeless in cities across the border from the United States after their deportations.

Espino and officials in other Mexican border cities have predicted the Arizona law will cause a reverse wave of migration.

Under the law, which took effect Jan. 1, businesses that knowingly employ illegal immigrants could have their licenses suspended for up to 10 days. Second-time violators would have their business licenses permanently revoked.

Maybe they should ask for donations from the coyotes and drug smugglers.

Keep in mind that mexico plans to keep all these returning
illegals RIGHT ON THE BORDER

Its not rocket science to figure out why either

The illegal aliens will just keep coming back over the border and go to a city that won't deport them.

Not if alot of us can help it.

It's refreshing for a change to see Mexicans actually using their coconuts (aka brains) to figure out how to help their people besides their #1 solution (sending them to the US).

It's going to be fun sitting back and watching Mexico deal with their own deported legals. I'm getting some popcorn. Care to join me on the couch? LOL.

Another Law we need is to hold Mexico and other countries accountable.

I would expect this administration to send emergency funds to Mexico for returning illegals,perhaps from the border fence funds they don't want to build.

Oh ya their probably aready working on an aid package for Mexico...Keep your eye on congress, its the pits they are back in session, we are better off when they are on vacation.

I agree. We should charge Mexico for the costs of illegal immigration. They'd figure out something different then.
