Mexican Mayors Blame Increased Border Violence on… the U.S.?

A coalition of mayors from four northern Mexican cities are asking U.S. authorities to stem the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes on the American side of the border.

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders joined the mayors of Tijunana, Ciudad Juarez, Nogales and Nuevo Laredo last week to discuss cross-border issues.  Among them, the Mexcian mayors complained that America’s deportation of convicted criminal illegal immigrants back to the Mexican border is contributing to the recent rise in violent crimes, including kidnapping and other crimes related to the drug trade.

According to Jose Reyes Ferriz, mayor of Ciudad Juarez, of the 80,000 people deported to his town over the past three years, 28,000 had U.S. criminal records, including 7,000 who had served prison time for rape and 2,000 convicted of murder.  Reyes claims that the large number of criminal deportees have contributed to the violence in his town — a town that has reported more than 2,200 homicides so far this year.

Instead of busing these criminals to the border, the Mexican mayors are encouraging U.S. authorities to fly the deportees by plane to central Mexico.  But, according to Fox News, critics on the American side of the border say the Mexican lawmakers are simply trying to “pass the buck” to the U.S., and that the Mexicans should take responsibility for their criminals, who are putting both Mexican and American lives in danger.

    I don’t think we are deporting enough illegals. They should call out the Mexican troops and take measures to fly them to central Mexico themselves. It is a shame that we even let them get across the boarder to begin with. If we secured our bourders then the illegals would not come and stay wherever they are at in Mexico. So our only fault in this situation is not securing our own boarders so that these rapists can come over here to commit crimes to begin with.

    Sorry, guys, I want to know more. Apparently, the mayors believe that flying them to Central Mexico instead of releasing these deportees at the border will make a difference. I’d like to know why they think this. And if their reasoning is plausible, then, why not try depositing the deportees into Central Mexico instead of at the border?

    What part of illegal do they not under-stand? Why do we have to accomodate them? CLOSE THE BORDER!! Send those who are illegal back. Our borders are a security threat to the people of this country and the illegals should not be allowed to stay to help any political party. Look up a holding facility in Phoenix and who they have in custody. It is not just Mexicans!!!

      A fence 3000 miles long, 10′ thick, and 30′ high would require 176,000,000 cubic yards of concrete. Anyone know the current price of concrete? Oh, forgot the rebar, which is about .45/ pound.

    That’s the results of having a spineless President who is known worldwide for his willingness to suck up to our enemies.
    Can you imagine what would happen if we lectured another country for sending illegal immigrants from the USA back to us and then they committed a crime and we blamed the country who sent them back for the crime?
    I suppose they have a point. It would be much nicer of us to keep the trash from Mexico here and send the law abiding people back. Or we can do as they suggest and bend over backwards to fly them (first class would be nice) to central Mexico. After all we wouldn’t want to offend anyone; would we?
    Wow………..remember when we had Presidents who actually protected us?
    Most of you probably are to young to recall when President Kennedy told the Russians who were taking missile warheads to Cuba to turn there ships around by an appointed time of suffer grave consequences. Guess what? They turned around and went back home.
    But we have passed the violent stage of our being the most feared country in the world…………
    Not because we bombed everyone who crossed us but rather because we had the necessary supply of such bombs if we needed to defend ourselves.
    Most of us know how life is……….You know…………the 300 pound muscleman who never had to defend himself because everyone knew better than to insult him.

    Lawlessness and a lack of respect for authority are a terrible thing. Taken to the extreme you get chaos and corruption on a grand scale. Mexico should be pitied and prayed over. That being said, the lawless drug dealers and desperate people swarming our borders need to be stopped. If we do not stem the tide they will bring their chaos here (Phoenix has the highest kidnap rate per person in the country now). Lawful immigration is welcome. It is time the US government did its job for its citizenry and secured the border.

      EXACTLY. Enforce the laws we ALREADY have, and STOP giving our $$ away that lures them in here in the first place. When our border states attempt to enforce the laws, stop the insanity of interfering in that process. If U.S. companies were actually penalized for hiring illegals, we’d have less problems.

      How about we enforce our immigration laws and do the criminal checks before they get here…the end result would be the same (criminals piling up on their side of the border), but we would avoid the nasty part in the middle: the criminal activity on US soil between illegal immigration and legal deportation.

      Three simple words… BUILD the FENCE!!

      If our federal government would simply perform one of its most basic duties in protecting the safety and security of the American people during this current “War on Terror,” our borders would be sealed, all of our immigration laws would be enforced, E-Verify would be mandated nationwide and such things as “Sanctuary Cities” would be banned.

      Not only would these simple common sense steps protect the physical and economic safety of the American people, but such law and order would lower the number of criminal illegal aliens being deported and possibly the number of never-ending complaints from south of our border…

      If we can pay for a fence along Mexico’s southern border, why can’t we build a fence along our southern border? Why? Because open borders is the name of the game for our members of Congress. Free trade, cheap labor and all of that… Great for our big corporations and unions, not to mention campaign contributions for our political “representatives,” not so great for the rest of us…
