Mexico is Forming its Own Border Patrol
Posted Wednesday, May 7th 2014 @ 11am Mexico, which more and more finds itself being victimized by illegal immigrations, is in the process of setting up its own Border Patrol, 1200 WOAI news reports.
U.S. Rep Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo), who is working with the Mexican government in the effort, tells 1200 WOAI news that it is a sign of the reality now facing Mexico. For years, Mexico relied on emigration to deal with a demographic imbalance caused by the Mexican Baby Boom of the sixties and seventies. But now that Mexico's birth rate has stabilized, and it's economy is improving, Mexico more and more finds itself victimized by illegal immigrants, both those who want to remain in Mexico, and those who transit through Mexico en route to the U.S.
"A lot of people coming in are not Mexicans, they are from Central America and South America," Cuellar said. "On Mexico's border with Guatemala it is like a UN in many ways."
The Border Patrol reports that in the past year the patterns of illegal immigration into the U.S. have changed dramatically, with people known as 'Other Than Mexicans,' who used to make up a small fraction of illegal entrants, now making up more than half of the total population.
Cuellar says plans are for Mexico to deploy it's new Border Patrol on its northern border as well. It would interdict cash and weapons flowing from the U.S. bound for the drug cartels, and would also help stop people trying to sneak from Mexico into the U.S.
"If we coordinate with them, I think we will do a much better job of securing our common border so drugs and undocumented immigrants don't pass into the United States," he said.
Cuellar says Mexico has generally relied on its Army to provide security on it's southern border, with mixed results. Mexico has seldom had a major presence on it's border with the U.S.
He hopes the U.S. will help fund creation of the Mexican border patrol, because having a robust force would be in the best interests of the United States.
We are ALREADY giving money to Mexico, and STILL they do nothing to stop the illegals from flowing in here.
How long before the drug cartels infiltrate the Mexican border patrol with their own henchmen? If it comes about, the Mexican BP is just as likely to be a border escort service that provides safe crossing for all sorts of drug traffickers and other illegal crossers with a little folding money.
Will they will permit the return of Mexicans who are in the US illegally or will their objective be to stop illegals from re-entering Mexico?
I had to read this three times to see if it wasn't the Semi-News. Mexico talking about being victimized by illegal immigration?!
Don't ever trust a politician.
Since Obama says we can’t afford to build the fence, maybe Mexico will split the cost with us? Hey, and they have construction experience.
“I applaud Cuellar’s efforts anyway. That is the right way to do things.”
Yet, the guy has a D next to his name, thus I suspect he does everything he can to undermine our own Border Control efforts.
I lived in México for years—they shoot to kill on their own southern border and with impunity.
Read it now and believe it when it is too late. They’re setting up the NAU’s southern border control.

“Up from the boot straps and through the backdoor.”
I stopped believing that years ago and here's the latest reason why from http://www.insightcrime.org/news-analysis/how-the-zetas-tamed-central-americas-coyotes
Fernando described two routes. One of them began in Chiapas, where hundreds of thousands of migrants arrived each year after getting their legs wet crossing the Suchiate River that borders Guatemala
“Mexico has as much of an immigration problem as we do. The central americans go through Mexico”
They go through Mexico, they don’t stop and freeload!
Yes that happens also—sometimes the coyotes leave the aliens in the Mexican Desert next to a mall in Chihuahua (that is very modern and looks better than anything El Paso or Tuscon has) and say—Bienvenido a los Estados Unidos!
Big deal...
The Mexican Army hunts down and robs, beats, imprisons, and sometimes kills their illegals.
Hey, you can get in trouble with the UNHRC for saying something like that. You're supposed to report that kind of military insensitivity to them first. With lots and lots of documentation.
Otherwise, it's just wind shaking the dust from the chaparral.
