Fear Of The Flood
GUEST POST FOR: CAII - Coalition Against Illegal Immigration
CROSS POSTED FROM: CommonSenseAmerica
While Mexico praises its citizens for flooding across our border, it seems that we have worried our neighbors to the south with a little bit of law enforcement at our borders which may cause the tide to backwash.
From the Boston Globe:
Nearly 1 million people, many of them penniless, were turned back across the border last year, and analysts fear that tougher new U.S. border enforcement will inundate border towns with the desperate and the destitute.
Migrant shelter directors are scrambling for funds and considering hiring more staff to keep their doors open 24 hours a day in anticipation of a record number of migrants being repatriated.
“Everyone is getting ready because we’re worried there is going to be a mass deportation of people,” said Francisco Loureiro, who runs a migrant shelter in Nogales that houses up to 120 people a night. “We’re worried there’s going to be too many people to tend to, and we just don’t have the room for more.”
The article goes on to state:
“Repatriations are going to accelerate and the border zone is going to be hit the hardest with this, because the cities are going to be receiving people in search of resources and these towns don’t have them,” said Jorge Santibanez, director of the Tijuana-based Colegio de La Frontera Norte, a border research center.
“The government should be helping these migrant organizations and putting the infrastructure in place now,” he said.
That is probably the most sensible statement I’ve seen coming from south of the border in a long time. Mr. Santibanez recognizes that his own government should be doing something to help care for its citizens.
But, even more importantly, President Vicente Fox should be trying to boost his own economy so his citizens will be able to find jobs in their homeland instead of trying to send them north so he doesn’t have to assume responsibility for his nation and its people.
