Mexico has started mass deportations of illegal migrants, deporting thousands to Central America
Mexico making the move after President Donald Trump closed the US Mexico border.
The closing led to an 85% plunge in illegal migrant entries through the US – Mexico border in the first eight months of the year—the lowest levels in half a decade.
Mexico has realized that it cannot absorb the spillover from Biden-era open-border policies, as more illegal migrants have been apprehended in Mexico than by U.S. agents in recent months.
Here are some of the moves being made by Mexico.
Mass deportations to Central America, sending migrants back to Guatemala via bus convoys and direct repatriations.
Thousands are now being stopped before heading North through Mexico.
Mexico is rejecting non-Mexican migrants saying they are not a ‘waiting room’ and will not ‘foot the bill’ for illegals.
Meanwhile Mexican Federal Police and Immigration agents are apprehending and physically detaining illegal migrants at a faster pace – and are often accused of harassment, extortion, and quick removals of illegal migrants.
