The first group of migrants deported from the US to third countries has arrived in Costa Rica.
About 25 migrants — including citizens of Albania, Cameroon, China, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Kenya and Morocco — touched down in the island nation’s capital of San Jose on Saturday.
“Upon entering the country, the migrants will receive primary care from the Professional Migration Police, with the cooperation of the International Organization for Migration (IOM),” Costa Rica’s General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners said in a statement.
The group of 25 was the first to arrive in the Central American country since the US and Costa Rica signed an agreement in March.
Under the deal, Costa Rica will receive up to 25 deportees a week, while the US will provide the country with financial support in return.
The IOM will also offer food and accommodation to the migrants for the first seven days of their stay.
Such third-country deportations allow the US to remove migrants from America whose countries of origin refuse to take them back.

LOL
For their penalty, they have to drive cars in Costa Rica.
Muy peligrosa.
I would rather we send them to various African and ME hellholes.
25? What a joke. When Obama was president illegal aliens killed 25 people a day in the US.
Amazing. These $hithole countries don’t want their people back. Some are semi-developed and could use them. Time to offer them to countries that owe us. Deport Haitians to the Dominican Republic. Would they dare to start a war on the island when marced to the border? There are 25 countries where French is spoken widely. Go ahead make our day.
Island nation?
Huh?
Indeed!
So their countries of origin refused to take them back? “They’re not sending their best and brightest!”
I wonder what Costa Rica is going to do with them? (I assume part of the cash we give them could be used for 1-way flights out of the country. And I’m fine with that so long as the destination isn’t Mexico or Canada.)
Even India doesn’t want their Untouchables. /spit

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hope they don’t settle on the same side of the island of Costa Rica. It might tip the island over.
I have to revisit my plans to retire to Costa Rica
