MEXICO CITY -- The number of children deported from Arizona after U.S. agents caught them crossing the border illegally or found them in the desert more than doubled in the first three months of 2006, Mexico's Interior Department said on Friday.
Most deportees are simply released by U.S. authorities at border crossings, but children are handed over directly to Mexico's child-welfare agency, giving Mexican authorities a much more precise count.
From January through March, Mexican authorities took charge of 3,289 deported minors at border crossings in the state of Sonora, across from Arizona, more than double the 1,566 deported in the same period of 2005.
The Interior Department statement did not give a reason for the increase in deportations of the children -- who ranged in age from a few months to 17 -- many of whom were found crossing on foot, alone or in the company of non-relatives.
However, some border analysts say they have witnessed what appears to be a general migrant rush to reach the United States. They say the migrants appear to be motivated by immigration bills under discussion in the U.S. Congress that could legalize some illegal migrants and increase border security.
In south-central Arizona, the busiest migrant-smuggling area, total detentions by the U.S. Border Patrol rose by more than 26 percent from Oct. 1, 2005, through early April, totaling 105,803 compared with 78,024 for the same period a year earlier. Along the entire border, arrests are up 9 percent in the same period.
Francisco Loureiro, the manager of an immigrant shelter in Nogales, Mexico, said that in March, 2,000 migrants stayed at the shelter -- 500 more than last year.
Loureiro said he has not seen such a rush of migrants since 1986, when the United States allowed 2.6 million illegal residents to get American citizenship.
One proposal before the U.S. Senate could legalize some of the 11 million people now illegally in the United States while tightening border security.
Some U.S. officials, however, say the rise in detentions may not necessarily mean more people are crossing, but that more are detained because of an increase in the number of Border Patrol agents.
The cowards are either sending their kids ahead in order to get a place in line or abandoning them in the desert to avoid capture.
Congress needs to pass HR4437 to stop the invasion.
NO amnesty
NO welfare benefits
NO worker program
Now they are sending kids in illegally
America their cash cow and now orphanage
this is getting more than ridiculous it must stop and stop NOW!
jobs American children won't do.
"Rapido Ninos: Dinero! Tio `Sugar' Quiero Tu!"
(Hurry kids, Uncle Sam wants to give you money!)
They are more committed to coming here than we are committed to saving our country.
Morons all. It's not rocket science.
Eventually they will have to deal with 20,000,000 criminal illegal aliens, or 100,000,000 angry citizens.
Deport them all. Admit the legal ones.
It's not complicated, and it begins with the first busload.
It took 20 years to acumulate them, it may take that long to deport them. We are willing to spend the time and the expense.
In the time it took to write your post the number jumped from 11,000,000 here illegally now to over 15,000,000. You estimate of 20,000,000 is way too low. Make it 50,000,000 soon.
I read this on another thread and in light of the criminals planning the May1 shutdown of our ports and economy, they all need to be arrested and deported!

Bump, looks good devolve.
Nice graphic Dallas, did you make it?
Perhaps Marine Inspector can give us the true facts here.
Outstanding graphic...
I, for one, would be interested in reading facts for a change.
As I suspected. Thanks for your response!
The proverbial drop in a very large bucket.
Real tiger on protecting the border, isn't he...
