By MANUEL DE LA CRUZ - Associated Press TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico -- Mexican police on Sunday discovered 210 mainly Central and South American migrants crammed inside a truck near the country's southern border, an immigration official said.

The dehydrated and hungry migrants were found when the truck was searched at a highway checkpoint, said the immigration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk on the record.

Why can we not do this The official said the migrants had not eaten in 24 hours and were now being given food and water. They are being held at a Chiapas federal police station awaiting deportation.

They catch them and in a day or two they deport them . We should mirror Mexico's laws and with quickly deporting illegals.

Actually they usually do a lot worse to them.

When caught, often they are beaten. Citizens can catch and hold illegals, and they often beat them up, and then when the police come, the police beat them up too.

Usually whatever money they have is taken from them.

They are then driven back a few hundred miles south of the border and told if they come back they will be killed.

I’d bet their destination had they NOT been caught was not Mexico.

Jes’ passin’ through.

They are going to deport them? Wow, didn't the stupid President of Mexico just give a speech to a bunch of USA college kids saying that the US needed to allow illegal Mexicans free entry to the US and not to do so was racist? So why isn't Mexico keeping these and other illegals in their country and allowing them free reign and making them citizens.

This is what really pisses me off, not one Republican points this hypocrisy out when talking about the border.

One is put in mind of one of those miniature cars at the circus that drives into center ring, stops, and disgorges fifty clowns.

[cripplecreek]

Its a real crapshoot on what mexico will do with illegals. They might be deported, they might be pointed north, or they my just be the next mass grave to be found in Mexico.

[dagogo redux]

Anyone checked with Guiness? A world record?

[radpolis]

I agree.

Our leadership is weak and stupid, but I would bet some money that the GOP elite have Meg Whitman and Mitt Romney problems with their own illegals, which is why they can’t go on the offensive.

When I first saw the headline, I thought,
“Mexicans caught illegal immigrants? From where, Illinois?”

LOL!
