Illegal immigration is a contentious topic in the United States, but it can be a touchy subject in Mexico too. This is especially true in northern border cities such as Tijuana, where hundreds of Mexicans are returned each day.The city's officials say the presence of large numbers of deportees poses public safety problems and further strains social-service programs.
No shit?
Business owners near the border complain that they drive up crime and drive away customers. Deportees say they often are made to feel like convicts even when they are not -- ostracized, unable to find work, lacking any family or friends in the area, targeted by police as well as criminals who shake them down and take their money and documents.
to be sure, Mexico is asking for criminal info on who is getting sent back so they can handle them appropriately, but perhaps they could, you know, stop this before they cross? Nahhhh
