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.

Well, I see I can’t complain about the missing barf alert, so another way to bump this thread is to call it to the attention of the AFIRE ping list.

And this all our fault, how exactly? They made a choice to break our laws and come to this country illegally. No one pushed them to ruin their own lives in the bargain.

.....typically no mention of the pain they put an American family through when their identity is stolen.

I'm stunned by the responses to this article at pmsnbc. I expected readers to "sympathize" and blame the eeeevvvilll American government, but most of the responses I viewed were very anti-illegal immigration.
Wow.

And no mention of the costs they impose upon Americans in the form of crime, increased entitlement costs and competition for our poorest Americans by stealing their jobs and livelihoods. Why do we have to be a boardinghouse for Mexico? Its time they started taking care of their own people!

The feedback section on Newsvine has to be read to believed... well the MSM expects us to sob while the violins are playing. Listen... my parents came legally to this country and I became an American citizen by following the laws. No one has been concerned about me - an American and here we are expected to show compassion for those who abuse our hospitality and show contempt for our rules. Like the old saying has it, you live in my house, you abide by my rules. What are we doing but enforcing our rules? Every other country in the world protects its sovereignty. What we do isn't all that different from them!

“A few steps from the gate, American tourists pose for photos in front of a stone relief. They are oblivious to the men, women and children sadly shuffling into a homeland many risked their lives to leave.”
This passage angers me.

40% of Mexico would move here if they could. That's how big the problem is and the folks who push for Open Borders ignore the extent of the problem. We already have 20 million illegals here and what we do in deporting them is just a drop in the bucket compared to the immense harm they inflict upon our country!

She says she only wanted to see her mom, who went illegally to Los Angeles when Riveras was 8 and left her with her father in Chimalhuacan, a slum outside Mexico City. When he died in December, her mother asked Riveras to come live with her. Now Riveras is not sure what she will do. Mom's problem, not mine.

THIS _ IS_NOT_THEIR_HOMELAND! Its too much to expect media liberals to acknowlege they aren't Americans and never were.

Its not our problem. Family reunification? Send the mom back to Mexico. Its not America that is keeping families apart!

You misread the passage, Mexico is the homeland. “The American tourists visting the whatever nearby ignore the Mexicans returning to their homeland.”

“Fonseca is searching for work in the impoverished city, but even filling out an application is difficult. Fonseca has spent 30 of his 31 years in the United States, so English is his main language.”
I would let someone here since infancy stay. But not a druggie crook like you Fonseca. Adios.

Have I really? I was under the impression as you were my friend, that they seem to prefer life here rather than life back there.

Are you talking about the illegals or the media liberals? Because either way, it applies.

The funny thing about that is those same people who whine about not being able to speak English in Mexico are the same people who demand their children be educated in Spanish in America! Its the patent hypocrisy that galls me.

They certainly seem to see eye to eye about this country. We should just welcome every one in... even the criminals! The MSM doesn't really have a clue as to what the American people think about illegal immigration!

Yes.
Anyway the passage angers me because it implies the American vacationers in the area should give a **c* about the poooor deportees and be there protesting instead of enjoying their vacation.
