| #5 This is a problem long known in AZ. That is, the illegals here are terrified of being "thrown just across the border" into the ultraviolence of northern Mexico. So much so that the State has long offered to *fly* any illegal who wants to leave, to Mexico City. The State considers it well worth it to even charter a passenger jet to take a few hundred at the same time. It's cheaper than bus fare to the border. This serves the dual purpose of safety for them, and to send them 1400 miles from the border, so it is much less likely they will come back. However, with so many leaving, and being deported, it would be cheaper if a buses were used South of the border, to take them further South. But the Mexican government does not *want* them to return. It wants them to stay in the US, to work and send money. So it will try to discourage any more bus travel than exists right now. And will also make a big point that they should not cross the border because of the violence. Ironically, even those who make it to Mexico City are probably boned. Metro DF already has about 22m people, there is little or no work, and the cartel wars keep growing in scope. I was impressed that it had made it to Torreon. Then just a week or two later, the wars had spread to Durango, halfway between Torreon and Mazatlan. |

| #3 I favor legal immigration, so am I also "anti-immigrant"? I prefer to think of myself as "anti-illegal". Too fine a distinction for the MSM, I suppose. |

| #1 Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is urging U.S. citizens to pressure the White House and the Homeland Security Department to establish "safe departure" border checkpoints along the U.S. border for illegal immigrants so they can leave without fear of being detained or prosecuted for immigration crimes. They are safe from being harmed by US citizens when heading north. You'd think they'd be safer heading south. |
