The eighth annual Mexican Interior Repatriation Program will feature one flight a day instead of two and is expected to cost the U.S. government about $10 million.
Under the voluntary program, non-criminal Mexican illegal immigrants caught by the Border Patrol in Arizona are offered free flights to Mexico City. From there, they are given bus passes to return to their hometowns.
The goal of the annual summer initiative is to prevent illegal immigrants from trying to cross the border again in the hopes of saving lives during the scorching summer months when hundreds die each year in Arizona.

Maybe they should just build a High-Speed rail link instead..
They can connect it to the track in the middle of the San Joaquin they’re trying to swangle into being.. Call it HeadedBackSouth Rail

“non-criminal Mexican illegal immigrants”
You have to laugh. Double plus ungood if you don’t. That they entered illegally already makes them criminals. Mexico should be footing the bill for their return - if they’d flown in without being cleared to legally enter, the airline would be responsible for letting them on in the first place and for bearing the cost of returning them.

Does the plane have to land or just fly over Mexico? Just wondering.

A couple of things here:
1 - “voluntary program”????
So, they can decide whether or not they want to go?
2 - “non-criminal”???
Don’t even have a postable word I can say!

I see a good opportunity for some Air Force training for C-130 “touch and goes”
Push the pallet out the door and you and your free MRE and bottle of water on a deserted improvised air strip in SOUTHERNMOST Mexico .
“good luck”

Well, I’d endorse it AS LONG AS Mexico gets the bill for repatriation.

The “flights” should consist of a catapult by the border.
