Mexican village serves as purgatory for the deported

For more than 20 years, natives of Guerrero, Mexico, have sought a better life in the U.S., with many of them settling in Orange County, especially in Santa Ana. Lately, what was a one-way wave of immigration has reversed. The slow U.S. economy and an unprecedented number of deportations have led many of those immigrants to return to Mexico. Orange County Register staff writers Cindy Carcamo and Michael Mello detail the phenomenon in a two-part story. These stories were made possible by a UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism grant that was funded by the Rosenberg Foundation.

It's good for ICE to keep the families together. If the parents are deported to their country, the children should of course go with them.

Cindy sure doesn't like Mexico!

Cindy, volunteer, drive them all south and have a family reunion, thank you, and send your pay check to help pay their medical bills, thanks again.

A quote from one of the deportees back in her old backward town in southern Mexico bemoaning her situation in a third world existence and talking about life back in the States: “It’s beauftiful there...even the poorest person lives a life of luxury compared to here.” Tell that to the Occies. Because according to the Occies, life in the U.S. is horrible. You really have to laugh when you read about the Occies complaints about how hard life is in the U.S. Send them to southern Mexico or some other third world country for a year, and see how they like that.

"You have nicer stuff than us and we want it."

This is the same mantra as the OWS OccuTards.

How strange she should say this. While they are here they are rude, arrogant and refuse to speak english.

...have sought a better life in the U.S...

How can this be? The Ruling Class is forever telling us the U.S. is a hell-hole.

Perhaps if illegals served time in detention camps in desolate areas of the US before being deported it might be a further disincentive to come here illegally. Imagine spending 3 months in a minimal amenities detention camp on the northern plains in winter. I am certain we have some surplus military facilities that could be converted to this use.

They are saving them for White conservatives.

Every time I hear about "families being broken up" I think of the poor families left in Mexico while the fathers come to the US and set up housekeeping with another "family" here.

Cry me a river...or just don't break up Mexican families by coming North.

We’re so mean to the rest of the world liberals make up for it by giving them incentives to come and live here.

I guess they haven’t heard an amnesty is on the horizon... its not exactly a state secret!
