Only 70-some thousand deported by the US in '05? That's because catch-and-release was in effect.

El Paso, Texas, Mar 14 (EFE).- The Rio Grande, deserts of Arizona or the U.S. Border Patrol generally are not the most daunting obstacles to entry into the United States for many Central American emigrants, most of whom have made a perilous journey across the big nation of Mexico.
Mexican immigration authorities intercepted and deported 232,000 Central Americans last year, compared with a total of 72,561 people from Central and South America who were caught and sent home during the 2005 fiscal year by the U.S. Border Patrol.
Two men who managed to make it all the way from the isthmus to the promised land of the United States, Jose and Antonio, agree that Mexico represents the hardest part of the trip. Jose, a Honduran, and Antonio, from Nicaragua, are now ensconsed at a safe house here in El Paso, awaiting an opportunity to make their way into the interior of the United States.
While the details of their passages through Mexico differ, both men's stories are full of talk about cold, hunger and fear.
"In my country they call Mexico 'El Pozo' (the pit)," says Jose, 22, a window-maker from the Honduran town of Las Ruinas Copan.

That's the good news 232,000 Central Americans never made it to America, bad news 232,000PLUS Mexicans did.
Doesn't this just make us want to hug them. /sarcasm
Thats the main reason Mexico stops them they dont want them taking up space on the trail that Mexicans might fill.
Exactly, they don't want the competition. The Central Americans should file an anti-trust suit against Mexico in the World Court. (/sarcasm)

When Mex immigration busts them, do they do anything except ASK FOR A TOLL...? No...
Only 70-some thousand deported by the US in '05? That's because catch-and-release was in effect.
Can't a RAT, socialist/commie convince them how terrible things are here, and they should not try to get in and suffer with the rest of us? No? Shucks, hic.
I hear ya, Jose.
What a struggle that must be.
El Pozo Ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
Mexico, deporting illegals that other countries won't.

snip.... TODAY, we have nearly 11,000 criminals invading our country each and every night and the murder rate from them is over 18 dead each day and nothing is done.
And again, these millions of people flooding our southern border -- 11,000 a night -- are now being supported, and even funded, by al Qaeda and the Mexican drug cartels.
Crime is rampant throughout all of the countries south of our border. The murder rate for Mexico -- in Mexico -- is about 18 dead per 100,000. Yes, that is 18,000 people murdered every year inside Mexico -- a country with a 100 million population. The murder rate for the USA is about 4 per 100,000 -- a country with about 300 million people. So, yes, Mexico kills as more people than we do but they have one third the population so that really does mean that their citizens kill at a rate that is more than three times that of the people in the United States. Certainly, not everyone in Mexico is a murderer. But there is one truth to murder everywhere on earth:
Almost all murderers anywhere on earth are males between the ages of 15 and 34.
And this is where things get very interesting. About 98 of every 100 illegals crossing our border are Mexican males between the ages of 15 and 34.
