PHOENIXAll but one of about 50 undocumented Mexican migrants at a meeting Saturday indicated they would rather risk detention and long court battles in the U.S. than return to Mexico voluntarily.
The majority of migrants at the meeting in Phoenix, which included Mexican officials, signaled in a show of hands that they were ready to fight deportation in U.S. courts.
Even if that means detention for weeks? asked former foreign minister Jorge Castaneda.
Even if it takes months, shouted one woman. Even if it takes years, another yelled. We are here to fight.

Frau M. may start paying her Muslim refugees to go back home.
Besides, it would be too expensive to boat them to Germany.
Give them the choice of going back to Mexico or Canada. Then provide free one way bus or traintransportation to their country of choice,

Sheriff Joe is now retired but I’ll bet he would be glad to help ICE set up tent cities on the borders. He could also give them copies of 50 Ways to Serve Bologna

So they want FREE room & board and food.
Don’t think so. Let Mexico house and feed them.

Charge them Mexico room and board plus court costs for each detainee, if they can not prove they legally crossed the border.

The fact that they even have that choice tells you a lot of what’s wrong with our immigration system.

I wouldn’t doubt that many are wanted for detention in Mexico —for murder, child molestation, stealing, rape, etc. there is a reason many don’t want to return.

Detain them like they have detained some of ours - no food/medicine/clothing/toiletries unless family members bring them to the jails....will boost self-deportations if we treat them like Mexico treats our folks.

I'm all for them 'fighting'. Put a bolt action rifle in their hands when we land them in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria and let them go fight ISIS. They rotate out when their court date comes up.

Confined in an American jail is better than being home in Mexico
Free meals, air conditioning, medical care, a place to sleep, and relative safety too.

This is all part of a strategy. Under the Obama administration most illegals caught near the border have been coached to claim asylum status and to refuse to identify their country of origin for fear of reprisal. This gets them a court date, sometimes years out, and release into the United States. Many Central Americans prefer this to not getting apprehended. It separates them from their coyotes and makes them less susceptible to being kidnapped and held for ransom inside the US.
