exican officials have deported more than 13,000 of the 14,000 undocumented, unaccompanied minors who have been caught at Mexico’s southern border, a rate significantly higher than in the United States, according to government sources familiar with the situation.
Additionally, Mexican authorities have deported more than 64,000 of the estimated 69,000 adults that have been detained along their southern border this year.
Those numbers stand in stark contrast to the deportation of minor immigrants from the United States: None of the more than 60,000 Central American minors detained this year have been deported.
According to a Department of Homeland Security spokesman, those minors — who are estimated to total as many as 90,000 by year’s end — must first make their way through the legal system, which has seen significant backlogs, because they qualify to apply for asylum status.
“They are subject to removal, and are all issued Notices to Appear in immigration court, but due to the current backlog in the courts a [minor] encountered this year wouldn’t have yet had their day in immigration court. So all the [minors] encountered this year still have their cases pending,” the spokesman told BuzzFeed.
According to Mexican government sources, the vast majority of unaccompanied minors detained at the country’s southern border comes from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, the majority are between the ages of 12 and 17, and most are boys. Government officials provide the minors with temporary shelter, food, clothing, and medical treatment while in custody.

Even beyond that, Mexico recently signed a diplomatic agreement with Guatemala to issue transit documents and facilitate Guatemalans transit across Mexico to the US.
And we allow it.
They issue them a 72 hour pass to give them time to get to the northern border.

Read it here at FR and on Fox News. Several articles about it. . I think they pay to get to the northern borders if they can and some don’t make it.
this is one of the articles I was talking about.
RE: I think they pay to get to the northern borders if they can and some don’t make it.
So, what happens to those who DON’T make it?
When I read that, I sarcastically thought ‘yeah to our southern border’
This guy needs to be removed from office.
The only reason he isn’t, is because we don’t hit the streets in numbers massive enough to let the Democrats know the gig is up. At the same time, we deliver the same message to our own (supposedly) team.
The guy is an out and out traitor.
see post 18

So is this the ISIS train???
I am sure of it.

Because Obama, the Mexican government, and the cartels are all in on it.
I wonder if the fast and furious operation was part of a much much bigger scheme that can be linked to this.
