Deported Mexicans face shattered lives

TIJUANA, Mexico - The towering black gate opens silently to an alley with walls of corrugated metal. Scrawled in large white letters on one wall is: "The End."

For those deported from the United States, the words are an unnecessary reminder. Nearly every hour of the day, guards unlock this gate that leads back into Mexico, clicking open the padlocks hung on each side, in each nation.

Please start the violins.

Bush must be doing something right to get an AP story like this.

[Clintonfatigued]

They had no business being here in the first place. Cry me a f***ing river!

Yes, Oprah will surely have this on -— where is my Kleenex box???

[Lurker]

With a happy feeling in my heart I say to the departing criminals: "Don't let that scary black gate hit you in the a** on the way out!"

"Cruel and unusual punishment?"

"Unconstitutional?"

I can already hear the whining from the "media."

Where’s the obligatory BARF ALERT ?????????

Mexico is a Socialist hell hole. And the Dems want them to export their hell to the USA.

Why not? Nancy and the other billionaire Democrats lived in armed camps.

They can either fix their country, or come here and ruin ours. The media is hoping that our country continues to be ruined.

Shattered lives? They’ve been sending thousands of dollars home. They’ll be living like kings. And queens.

[webschooner]

No surprise here, coming from AP (All Propaganda).

[ScreamingFist]

Yea right. Did they enter through the “Big Black Gate”? Didn’t think so. What a load of BS.....

[fieldmarshaldj]

You mean “Cry me a rio.”

[South40]

How do you say this in English?

What is Mexico's responsibility? Why don't they have to take care of their own people? Why is the United States the bad guy, when Mexico's people are running away from Mexico, toward the United States, by the tens of millions?

Why is that? How does that work?

Oh. I get it. Were supposed to feeeeeeeeellll saaaaaaaad somehow. They want us to be upssssssssssset. Quick. Someone. Anyone. Call a whaaaaaaaaaambulance.

What an agenda-laced article by a journalist if there ever was one.

Sheesh, the guy probably had his own brother detained and sent back through the fence.

I'm very sorry that criminal actions put these people in this situation, BUT, it was not the actions of our government or our people who got them there.
I do not want anything to do with the responsibility of taking care of these criminals. I do not want my tax dollars spent on their medical or welfare payments. I do not want the natural resources of our great nation to be used to support them either.
The illegals are here in this country to accumulate money. That is why they say they come here. They are committing a crime for financial gain. Can you tell me of another criminal act where the criminals are allowed to keep the monies gained by their illegal acts? If we treat the crime of identify theft and illegal entry as we do every other crime then these illegals would be stripped of all property they accumulated while working here illegally and then be deported. They need to go home and let their own country take care of them. We probably don't need to be out hunting the illegals down but when they get caught with a stolen identify or even in a traffic stop then the rule of law should prevail and they should be deported.
