Wow... This whole thing is disturbing! But like always, it is much easier just to leave your country behind and let it crumble... And come here, breed like a rabbit, live off handouts provided by US Taxpayers..

When and if this country goes to ****, I bet illegal aliens will be the first ones to bolt..

Mexico sends the majority of these illegals back to their native country.

Mexico returns 400 of 513 migrants found in trucks - Yahoo! News

Why doesn't Mexico give them free education, housing, food and medical care, and allow them to stay?

Yes that's true. Mexico is not a dictatorship, it's actually a democracy with a growing middle class, and freedom.

Mexicans have freedom and liberty, it's not against the law for them to travel where they please in their country and it's really not up to the Mexican police to keep them from leaving.

It's up to our government to protect and enforce our borders. Unfortunately it's not doing it's job.

Default I am glad the Mexican Police stopped this truck

The Majority if not all would have been dead by the time they reached the US. God..there were children in that truck.

Why are we falling all over ourselves because of this event?

I'm just amazed a third world country such as Mexico has the capability to do this.

That is because they were illegal in Mexico. They were crossing the Southern Mexican border, on their way to the US. It takes days to get to the Northern border by car.

That's what i'm thinking. Mexico does not have a problem with us giving their illegals, free education, housing, food, medical, etc. Don't you think they should do the same, and house, feed, educate, and give medical to those illegals in their Country.

We follow the same procedure as Mexico. If caught crossing the border, we deport them right away. The exception is when illegal immigrants are caught within our country and have proven to live here for a long time. Then they are up for court to decide if deportation is the best decision for the individual.

In this case, nationalities that live close to the Mexican border will get deported and transported in buses back to their countries. The rest of the immigrants that come from far away countries like India, China, Yemen, etc... They will probably get to stay in Mexico. I've seen it many times. I've got friends that entered Mexico illegally. They were detained and let go within a couple of weeks. They were ordered to check in with immigration every week for a set amount of time. Show proof of employment. Afterwards, they become legal citizens of Mexico, if they stay for five years. If they qualify to become refugees, YES... they do get free education, housing, food and free emergency medical care. Mexico has a large community of immigrant refugees. One of these communities is from the Congo, Africa. They get welfare, housing, etc by Mexican tax payers. The other option, is to return to their native countries, if they wish. Its only in this country that a segment of the population complain if illegal immigrants are allowed to remain legally.
