Migrants fearing deportation set mattresses ablaze at an immigration detention center in Mexico, starting a fire that left 39 dead, Mexico’s president said Tuesday.

Thirty-nine people died and 29 were injured and are in “delicate-serious” condition, according to the National Immigration Institute. There were 68 men from Central and South America held in the facility at the time of the fire, the agency said.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called the incident unfortunate and said the director of country’s immigration agency was on the scene.

“They never imagined that this would cause this terrible misfortune,” López Obrador said.

They’re not very grateful. The people of the USA have been housing and feeding these “migrants.” At the very least they could send a Thank You card.

“Gee, I set a fire in a place where people are being housed but don’t blame me for everyone getting hurt.”

How DARE anyone try to excuse this CRIME by mentioning whether or not the animals INTENDED for this to happen. Anything to destroy America, right dems?

We don’t want nor need these sub-human animals in our country.

Thanks, Joe.

“Migrants fearing deportation”. Well then, that’s our fault for not just letting all come in without any deportation. /s

The bug infestation of the detention center dropped 75% overnight.

The lawyers are already salivating at the opportunity to sue the contractor who built the facility for the government.

If the center was in Mexico where it belongs, this wouldn't be a U.S. taxpayer issue.

It would be tents, mud huts, a circle on the ground, or not there at all.

Definitely not in this case, to paraphrase DJT: "They're not sending us their best and brightest."
