MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexicans fear deportee and refugee camps could be popping up along their northern border under the Trump administration's plan to start deporting to Mexico all Latin Americans and others who entered the U.S. illegally through this country.
Previous U.S. policy called for only Mexican citizens to be sent to Mexico. Migrants known as "OTMs" — Other Than Mexicans — got flown back to their homelands.
Now, under a sweeping rewrite of enforcement policies announced Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, migrants might be dumped over the border into a violence-plagued land where they have no ties while their asylum claims or deportation proceedings are heard in the United States. U.S. officials didn't say what Mexico would be expected to do with them.
The only consensus so far in Mexico about the new policies of President Donald Trump is that the country isn't remotely prepared.
Not in any way, shape or form," said the Rev. Patrick Murphy, a priest who runs the Casa del Migrante shelter in the border city of Tijuana, which currently houses about 55 Haitian immigrants. They were part of wave of thousands who swarmed to the border in the closing months of the Obama administration in hopes of getting asylum in the U.S.
Tijuana was overwhelmed, and while the government did little, a string of private Christian groups pitched in to open shelters with improvised bedding, tents and sanitary facilities. Donated food kept the Haitians going.
Mexicans quake at the thought of handling not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of foreigners in a border region already struggling with drug gangs and violence.

I guess Trump wants to Make Mexico Great Again with the repatriation of some their finest citizens?
...migrants might be dumped over the border into a violence-plagued land where they have no ties ...
American’s might be attacked by foreign nationals in San Jose while peacefully supporting their candidate, what’s your point homie?
Anyone know what became of the Australian “refugees” that the President once denied, then back tracked? What’s their status? Safe and sound in Gitmo?
“Mexicans quake at the thought of handling not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of foreigners in a border region already struggling with drug gangs and violence.”
Here the AP makes a blunder:
If the border is “struggling with drug gangs and violence”, it’s all the more reason to support Trump and the building of the Wall.
Mexico has a border fence with Guatemala, and being illegal in Mexico is a felony, yet they still want to complain about their own illegals being deported from the U.S.
Its almost funny that Mexico is posturing to get a payment from us to accept the same people that came through their doors. I think I know President Trump well enough to figure that aid already going to Mexico is what will be on the table.
Payback, as they say, is a bitch, ain’t it?
The invasion from central and south American could not have happened without the aid of the Mexican Government.
If they can assist the millions coming north, they can assist the millions going south. They created this problem, they can help solve it or they will will have chaos on their side of the border.
I would like to see the border patrol agents bus illegals to an open area in the border and have the illegals walk back across. It can be a hardship since that is the way they entered this country.
Get a load of the woman holding the placard hashtag “We Are Here To Stay”.
These are the ones that HAVE to be removed FIRST. They have to be removed, aggressively, violently, by any means necessary, to show them who’s in charge of this country.
These illegal activist are the exact types we do not want here. Get them out or feed them to the worms.
This is good. I want people to literally kiss the ground of the US when they get the chance to immigrate. There has been way too much taking for granted the ability to just enter the US whenever and however people dang well please. And then wave Mexican flags around after they get here.
OK so what’s the reason for dumping non-Mexicans in Mexico instead of shipping them back to their own homeland?
Well said
Oh the humanity!!!! Ike went through this same whining crap with Operation Wetback.
Next target - CIA sponsored drug trafficking
“Anyone know what became of the Australian “refugees” that the President once denied, then back tracked? What’s their status? Safe and sound in Gitmo?”
I don’t have an update, but if you listened carefully, Spicer said they were going to honor the agreement (diplomacy) BUT they are allowed extreme vetting of the refugees (the loophole). My guess... none of them pass.
Lol very good.
Is this article supposed to make me feel guilty?
I don’t. In the least.
Heh---nails it but good.
FOLLOW THE MONEY-----the resignation of Agustin Carstens, chief of Mexico’s central bank, has left MSM pundits and even business analysts scratching their heads. It appears no-one has any idea why Carstens is leaving…...... well, almost no-one. (Buzz is he got a powerful berth at a key world Central Bank)
ITEM--- Mexico has been swilling at the US trough....grabbing our tax dollars hand over fist.
ITEM---Mexico is one of the top ten countries receiving US foreign aid----almost a billion per year besides raking in hundreds of millions via the infamous "Merida Initiative."
ITEM---Mexicans here send home back billions of our tax dollars.....the federales are prolly getting a huge cut of that.
ITEM--Some 125 countries including Muslim scum gather at the Mexican border to stroll into the US. Mexico prolly gets a fee from each country to let that happen.
ITEM--The Merida Initiative alone has blanketed Mexico w/ millions of US tax dollars for years and years.
================================================
The appalling govt corruption in Mexico needs to be exposed.
ITEM--A report on intl gambling....about a select few who are the casino's biggest bettors....list Mexicans along w/ multi-billionaires like Arabs and China's new billionaires as regulars at the high rolling gaming tables.
Mexico is not a country that is in need of US tax dollars.
Indeed. All of them are hypocrites. And racist of course.
I have been under the same impression for some time.
Now, what happens when the illegal aliens go armed into the fray?
Under the current thinking that anyone on US soil is protected by the BOR will recognize that the Right to Bear Arms extends to illegals as well.
Some Mexicans may very well want to have a wall in place.
