EL PASO — Some immigrants fleeing violence in Mexico are being denied the right to make their case for asylum once they arrive at the border, according to human rights organizations.
"Denying immigrants expressing fear for their lives a credible or reasonable fear interview leaves the individual isolated from the court system and violates both international and domestic law," said Ruben Garcia, director of Annunciation House, an organization that runs two shelters for migrants.
"We are profoundly concerned about the denial of the rights of asylum seekers," he added.
The organization is following several cases. Among them: Rosa Hilda Carrera, 46, who is in an immigration detention center in El Paso.
"Right away I said I couldn’t return to Mexico," Carrera said, talking about a conversation she had with a Border Patrol agent after being arrested for crossing the border illegally in Laredo. "I said I was afraid because of what happened to my sons."
Her sons were murdered in Chihuahua, Mexico on April 13, 2012. Her son Abraham had moved to Mexico a year earlier. His brother Noe was deported.
They grew up in Dallas and came to the U.S. with their mother at the ages of 6 and 7. She arrived with a visa, but stayed after it expired.
Carrera spent 19 years living as an undocumented immigrant in Dallas, where she raised a family and only returned to Mexico to bury her two oldest sons — aged 26 and 27 — when they were gunned down in Chihuahua.
“Any mother would have done that,” said Gloria Reyes, Carrera's sister and a legal resident of the U.S.

Fidela "fears for her life"?
She fears for her life. eh? Well, I drive around Hendersonville all the time, and when I drive there I fear for my life because of drunken illegal aliens like Fidela who not only can't drive safely but often drive drunk (plus, they have no insurance, usually no licenses, and unsafe cars)!
Send her back and let her practice her drunken driving in Mexico where she belongs.
As an added bonus, my taxes should be lower as she and her brood are no doubt on welfare, living on EBT/SNAP cards, and sucking up "free" services at the hospital and in the school system. All of these "free" services drive up MY expenses! The fact she popped out her brood on our soil (no doubt also at MY expense) means less than nothing to me.
Adios, Fidela. Good riddance. We don't need grifters like you in our country. We have enough of our own!

Darn straight! I was in a grocery checkout line yesterday, behind a Hispanic woman buying all kinds of expensive stuff, like cored pineapples in plastic containers, snack foods, meat, etc., accompanied by her pre-teen pudgy-pig daughter. I told myself, “Wait for it, wait for it,” and sure enough, she whipped out her EBT card to pay for her gourmet “staples”. WTH??? Why should I subsidize her livin’ large?
she can take her kids with her....no problem...
