Deported Mexicans face shattered lives
Over the past five years, deportations from U.S. to Mexico jump 60 percent
Quote
Almost a third of the 278,000 people deported in 2007 were prisoners. Last year, the U.S. started speeding up the removal of prisoners and deported a record 95,000 after they served their sentences. The U.S. also has detained or deported 10,000 gang members since 2005.

The men do not know what they will do next. Residents of the already violent city of Tijuana also wonder what will become of the ex-cons filling the city's shelters.

"A lot of guys try to run the same game that they ran over there, but they end up falling on their face," says Fonseca as he waits for dinner at the shelter.

Fonseca is searching for work in the impoverished city, but even filling out an application is difficult. Fonseca has spent 30 of his 31 years in the United States, so English is his main language.

"You see, we know Spanish, but we don't know the exact words, and when we try to explain to somebody something, they're like 'huh?'" he says.

Put on your boots... the AP has it piled high and heavy.

This story should run in all the Mexican newspapers so they can see what can happen if they make the trek to "El Norte".
Oh that's right. Nevermind, it's a bullshit story.

If it were up to me... I'd try to find a way charge the Mexican government for the cost of deporting these criminals, as well as the cost of incarcerating illegals that have commited crimes while illegally in the USA.

Given its age, climate, natural resources, location, and friendly neighbor to the north, Mexico should be one of the riches nations in the world.

I'm lacking in pity too and I absolutely agree with you on where Mexico should be due to all those factors compared to where it is.

What? No mention of the real shattered lives? Where are the stories about the countless innocent victims who have lost their lives to an illegal alien criminal? I dare the AP to run those stories.....

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
