United States and Mexico begin Interior Repatriation Initiative
Tuesday, 02 October 2012 20:41
Written by Imperial Valley News
El Paso, Texas - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Mexican Ministry of the Interior today announced the beginning of the Interior Repatriation Initiative (IRI), a new pilot to provide humane, safe and orderly repatriation of Mexican nationals to the interior of Mexico and ultimately to their hometowns, instead of returning them to towns on the U.S.-Mexico border.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) will provide air transportation via charter aircraft to Mexican nationals who emigrated from the interior of Mexico. Upon arrival in Mexico City, the Government of Mexico will provide them transportation to their places of origin. This initiative will allow the Government of Mexico to assist returning Mexican nationals in safely reintegrating into their communities.
"IRI reflects our commitment and ongoing bilateral effort with the government of Mexico to ensure strong, humane and effective enforcement of both nations' immigration laws," said ICE Director John Morton. "This initiative will better ensure that individuals repatriated to Mexico are removed in circumstances that are safe and controlled."
Gustavo Mohar Betancourt, Undersecretary of Mexico's population, migration and religious affairs said, "This initiative aims to collaborate and fully support border state authorities by reducing the number of Mexican nationals who are repatriated to the border region. The newly repatriated, often with no means to return home, are susceptible to becoming a part of criminal organizations as a means of survival."
The IRI will include Mexican nationals pending removal from all areas of the United States. Historically, a significant number of individuals are not from the northern border towns to which they are repatriated, leaving them in communities where they have no ties or family support. Removing Mexican nationals to the interior of Mexico is part of an effort to reduce repeat attempts to illegally enter the United States, avoid the loss of human life, and minimize the potential for exploitation of illegal migrants by human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as other criminal organizations.
Individuals who participate in the pilot initiative are transferred from across the United States to the Otero County Processing Center in Chaparral, N.M., before departure on an IRI flight.
The first repatriation flight of 131 Mexican nationals departed El Paso International Airport Tuesday, Oct. 2 and flights are scheduled to continue this year through to Nov. 29. Mexican nationals participating in IRI are removed on charter flights via the ICE ERO Air Operations (IAO) Unit. Headquartered in Kansas City, Mo., IAO has supported ERO since 2006 by providing air transportation and removal coordination services to ERO field offices nationwide. Staffed by ERO officers, these air charters enable the agency to repatriate large groups of deportees in an efficient, expeditious and humane manner.

La Voz de la Frontera
Mexicali.- Las funciones de apoyo que realizan los Consulados de México en los Estados Unidos a los mexicanos residentes en dicho país, son muy amplias y abarcan muchos aspectos de las necesidades que tienen en lo referente a trámites personales para la obtención de documentos y otros programas, explicó ayer la Cónsul de nuestro país en Caléxico, ex diputada Gina Andrea Cruz Blackedge.
La funcionaria fue la invitada especial de la sesión semanal de todos los lunes del Grupo Los Madrugadores de Mexicali que coordina el señor José Holguín Navarro ante quienes hizo una amplia exposición de las diversas actividades que se desarrollan en apoyo de los mexicanos residentes en el valle Imperial vecino del municipio de Mexicali.
Entre ellas destacó la asistencia que se brinda a las personas que son deportadas, principalmente de niños a los cuales se les presta especial atención por ser más vulnerables que los adultos, además de estar al tanto de las horas en que son repatriados nuestros connacionales de los cuales algunos quieren volver a ingresar al vecino país y otros regresar a sus lugares de origen.
Al respecto, la Cónsul quien es oriunda de esta capital, indicó que el Consulado les brinda ayuda económica a estos mexicanos deportados la cual consiste en darles el boleto de regreso a sus entidades y 40 dólares más para los gastos del viaje, lo cual es aprovechado por muchos de ellos.
Dijo que esto es un acto de confianza a estas personas ya que aún cuando se les da seguimiento no se sabe si puedan bajarse en algún otro punto de esta zona fronteriza, ya que no existe un estudio sobre ello, además de que rechazó las aseveraciones de algunos de que los migrantes son culpables de que haya aumentado la inseguridad en Mexicali.

Is US deportation of criminals driving up Mexico border violence?
Mexican President Felipe Calderon last week accused the US policy of deporting criminals into northern Mexico of fueling the criminal violence that is ravaging the country.
By Geoffrey Ramsey
Guest blogger for Christian Science Monitor
October 24, 2011
With US deportations at a record high, the Mexican government is increasingly concerned that deportees with criminal records are contributing to border violence.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon caused somewhat of a media stir with some of his recent comments on US immigration policy. Speaking at the Third International Forum on Migration and Peace last week, the president lambasted the US for its treatment of undocumented immigrants, saying that the US “would not be the power that it is today without migration.” He also claimed that the recent wave of anti-immigrant legislation will likely take a hit on the US economy, predicting that US goods will become “worse in quality and more deficient than in other regions.”
Mr. Calderon reserved his strongest criticism, however, for the US government's approach to deportation. According to him, the practice of busing deportees over the border and releasing them fuels the violence in the north of the country, as some individuals with criminal records turn to a life of crime in the border towns where they are released.
Think you know Latin America? Take our geography quiz.
Calderon claimed that between 60,000 and 70,000 migrants are sent to northern border cities such as Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez every year. Among these, he said, "there are many who really are criminals, who have committed some crime and it is simply cheaper to leave them on the Mexican side of the border than to prosecute them, as [the US] should, to see whether they are guilty or not." The result, he added, is that they “quickly link up with criminal networks on the border."
Although this is the first time that Calderon has come out so publicly on the matter, the accusation is not new. In fact, local and state officials on northern Mexico have complained for years about the practice of US criminal deportations. Just last year the mayors of four different border cities in Mexico called on US officials to stop deporting individuals with criminal records along the border. At the time, then-Mayor of Ciudad Juarez Jose Reyes alleged that 28,000 of the 80,000 people deported to his city since 2007 had violated US law. Of that number, according to him, 7,000 were convicted rapists and 2,000 were convicted murderers.
The issue is bound to become more prominent if current deportation trends continue. According to figures recently released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), a record 396,906 individuals were deported from October 2010 through September of this year. Although the administration has claimed that 55 percent of those had felony or misdemeanor convictions, it is unclear how many of those were simply related to immigration violations. Still, as the administration maintains its emphasis on deporting criminals, the fears of local officials are not likely to be assuaged in the near future.
And these official concerns are not unfounded, as the phenomenon of deported criminals becoming involved in borderland criminal networks has been documented in the past. One example is Martin Estrada Luna, the individual who authorities say is responsible for killing at least 250 people in the northern state of Tamaulipas and burying them in a series of mass graves. According to the AP, Estrada became the leader of the local Zetas outfit just 18 months after he was deported.

Calderon: U.S. dumping Mexican criminals at border
America shares blame in violence, Mexican president says
The Tucson Sentinel
21 October 2011
Mexican President Felipe Calderón says the United States is responsible for fueling violence in Mexico's border areas, because it chooses to deport criminals, rather than prosecute them.
He said it was cheaper to send them back rather than put them on trial, and that the deportees then became involved with criminal gangs in Mexico.
The Associated Press reported that U.S. officials this week revealed a record number of deportations in the past fiscal year, adding that those with criminal convictions had nearly doubled since 2008.
Calderón told an immigration conference in Mexico City:
"There are many factors in the violence that is being experienced in some Mexican border cities, but one of those is that the American authorities have gotten into the habit of simply deporting 60,000 or 70,000 migrants per year to cities like Ciudad Juarez or Tijuana."
Calderón said that among the deportees were “many who really are criminals."
The BBC reported that when illegal Mexican immigrants finish a prison term in the United States they are taken to the border and freed.
But Mexican nationals with criminal records in the United States cannot be held in their home country if they have not broken the law there.

Negocia México datos mas precisos de deportados. Información biométrica de criminales deportados
Por Elizabeth Vargas
Ensenada.net
1 de octubre de 2011
Los datos biométricos de personas internadas por diversos delitos en cárceles de California, Estados Unidos y que podrían ser deportadas a México se ha convertido en una prioridad para Baja California.
El Secretario de Seguridad Pública de Baja California Daniel de la Rosa Anaya, reveló que dentro de los acuerdos de la XXIX Conferencia de Gobernadores Fronterizos, este es un proceso que fue planteado pero aun no se concluye.
Existe un plan piloto con el sur de California para generar intercambio en materia de seguridad, en particular los compartir datos biométricos de miles de criminales de sus cárceles.
El objetivo es que Estados Unidos como nación, proporciones esos datos de las cárceles estatales y federales, particularmente en aquellos casos donde se trata de personas indocumentadas que luego son deportadas al México.
Existen actualmente avances en esta materia, hay información de prisiones de California, pero cuando llega a México no es oportuna y se trata solo nombres, nada mas.
El acuerdo que se tiene, plantea que además que los datos se den de forma oportuna, se incluyan datos biométricos de sus delincuentes de los cuales ahora al ser deportados, solamente se le avisa a México que se les liberará en la frontera, pero no se realizan otras especificaciones.
Estados Unidos tiene implementado en varios de sus Estados, un programa denominado Comunidades seguras, el cual fue arrancado en el 2008 y para el 2009 contemplaba incluir a 25 condados ubicados a lo largo de la frontera México-Estados Unidos.
Este programa ha procesado las huellas digitales de 1 millón de individuos que son ingresados a cárceles locales, en ciudades como Phoenix, Arizona; Dallas y Houston, Texas; Miami, Florida; Boston, Massachusetts; y Los Ángeles, California.
Esta base de datos de ser entregada a los estados fronterizos mexicanos, permitiría una herramienta más, para el combate a la delincuencia en ambas regiones.
Actualmente de las miles de deportaciones que recibe México en su Frontera Norte, no se tienen datos precisos de quienes son y que crímenes cometieron en aquella nación.

Deportaciones masivas son un problema social, más que de seguridad
Uniradio Informa
11 de Julio de 2011
Los problemas de inseguridad provocados por la deportación masiva de connacionales de Estados Unidos a México a través de Tijuana es un asunto que debe atenderse más como un problema social, que como uno policiaco, manifestó Gustavo Ley Ruiz, subsecretario de Gobierno del Estado.
Explicó que los apoyos para que puedan regresan a sus lugares de origen se otorgan a través de la Secretaría de Desarrollo Social y en coordinación con el Instituto Nacional de Migración y la Casa del Migrante.
Comentó que es una preocupación que las personas que regresan a México por Baja California sean bien atendidos y también les interesa que tengan algo que hacer.
“Hay personas que las deportan por aquí, por Baja California, pero son de otros estados, que colindan con la frontera, nosotros hemos estado apoyando en algunas veces con el traslado para que las personas puedan llegar a su lugar de origen y en este caso darles la atención médica, para estar seguros de que no tengan ningún mal y regresen con bien a su localidad”, dijo el funcionario estatal.
Explicó que por instrucciones del secretario de Gobierno, Cuauhtémoc Cardona Benavides, sostiene una coordinación para recibir por parte del Instituto Nacional de Migración, un reporte del número de personas que son deportadas a Baja California.

Deportaciones masivas generan pobreza y delincuencia en Tamaulipas
Urge reforma migratoria en EU, dice Diputada
NORA ALICIA HERNANDEZ HERRERA
La Capital (Tamaulipas)
2011-06-02
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas.- Las deportaciones masivas que antes hacía el gobierno de Estados Unidos por Ciudad Juárez, ahora están llegando a Tamaulipas, generando con ello el crecimiento de los cinturones de pobreza y la delincuencia en ciudades fronterizas del estado.
Rosa María Alvarado Monroy, Diputada presidenta de la Comisión de Justicia, dijo que aun hay una tarea muy grande en materia de migración, porque además del problema de entrada y salida, trae consigo otras consecuencias.
“Va muy de fondo el asunto de la migración, independientemente a la reforma migratoria en México, queremos que esa reforma se dé en Estados Unidos para permitir el empleo temporal y se dé el flujo de migrantes por temporadas”.
En ese sentido dijo que los estados fronterizos están pidiendo que no les dejen la carga humana sin soporte, “porque de pronto llegan a las fronteras los repatriados con un alto costo financiero que no les es resarcido, tienen que tomar de sus presupuestos locales para garantizar el cuidado de esas personas”.
Agregó que en México no hay personal suficiente, “esperemos que esto fluya con el nuevo Instituto de Migración creado en Tamaulipas”, dijo tras advertir que además está el problema de fondo, cuando el vecino país no analiza la nacionalidad de las personas que regresa por los cruces de la entidad.
“Simplemente por el rasgo de ser moreno, te llegan, tenemos gente hasta chinos, cubanos, hondureños, cubanos, cuando el problema era en Juárez, Chihuahua pide que no le hagan la deportación masiva y se hace un acuerdo entre los dos países y ahora llegan por Tamaulipas, los problemas que se dieron allá ahora los tenemos acá están engrosando los cinturones de miseria”.
Consideró que ante esta problemática la federación debe etiquetar presupuestos, porque no todos los repatriados quieren regresar a su ciudad de origen.
“Hay mucha población migrante no mexicana que igual quiere acceso a sistema de salud y vivienda, con tolo lo que ello conlleva de invasión de tierras y que la gente delinque para estar comiendo y para sobrevivir”.

Mexican Border States to Ask U.S. to Use Air Deportations
Latin American Herald Tribune
September 28, 2010
MEXICO CITY – The governors of the six Mexican states that border the United States plan to ask U.S. officials to send Mexicans ordered deported from that country back to their hometowns by air to avoid having thousands of them congregate in border towns.
This was one of the items that governors attending the Border Governors Conference earlier this week in Santa Fe, New Mexico, agreed on, Tamaulipas Gov. Eugenio Hernandez said.
The request will be made via the Mexican federal government to its counterpart in Washington, Hernandez said, adding that deportations should be planned, orderly and documented.
Mexicans deported from the United States should be sent home by air to cities in the interior of the country, the governor said during the official inauguration of the Tec Milenio University in Nuevo Laredo.
The governors also plan to ask the congresses of both countries to support a development program for the northern border region in an effort to deal with problems related to migration, drug trafficking, smuggling and crime, Hernandez said.
The border cities “need more support, they are cities that grow much more than the cities in the interior of the Mexican Republic,” the governor said.
Participants at the conference, which was attended by the U.S. and Mexican ambassadors, agreed that transborder violence is a bilateral problem, Hernandez said.
“The problem of crime is a problem for both countries, it is a problem that we have to deal with together,” the governor said.
The declaration signed by the governors called for an end to the flow of arms into Mexico to ensure progress in the war on drugs, as well as increased use of new technologies to create a safer border region, Hernandez said.

MEXICO CITY – The governors of the six Mexican states that border the United States plan to ask U.S. officials to send Mexicans ordered deported from that country back to their hometowns by air to avoid having thousands of them congregate in border towns.
This was one of the items that governors attending the Border Governors Conference earlier this week in Santa Fe, New Mexico, agreed on, Tamaulipas Gov. Eugenio Hernandez said.
The request will be made via the Mexican federal government to its counterpart in Washington, Hernandez said, adding that deportations should be planned, orderly and documented.

Migrant massacre shakes Central America
The recent killing of 72 people, from El Salvador, Honduras and other nations, as they tried to cross through Mexico into the U.S., has sent shockwaves across the continent. But many may still attempt the perilous trek.

Reporting from Las Penitas, El Salvador, and — Cayetano Flores wishes he had just said no.
His granddaughter, Yedmi Victoria Castro, had just celebrated her 15th birthday in this mountain hamlet near El Salvador's border with Honduras. A suitor was becoming aggressive, and the idea arose that she join her mother in New York.
Flores, a wizened corn farmer, said he opposed her making the risky journey without papers. But the girl's mother was decided: Yedmi would go north.
The dark-haired and slender teenager read passages from the Bible to Flores for three days in a row. On Aug. 10, she set out for Guatemala and Mexico, a route traveled by thousands of Salvadorans before her.
Two weeks later she was dead.
Yedmi was among the 72 Central and South American migrants found slain in northern Mexico's Tamaulipas state on Aug. 24 — allegedly victims of the notorious Zetas drug gang. Salvadoran officials said 13 of the victims identified so far are from El Salvador.
"Her last call was from Guatemala saying that she was all right, but then afterwards, it was all darkness," Flores, 70, said this week, his eyes brimming with hurt. "She didn't deserve that fate."
The massacre was a horrifying reminder to Mexicans of the runaway violence in their country as drug-trafficking gangs wage war against the government and each other.
But the incident is rippling beyond Mexico to obscure places such as Las Penitas, a burg of 100 or so homes where some of the school's classrooms have dirt floors and the hills echo with rumors of gun-running and drug-smuggling.
This is an area long used to the rhythms — and dangers — of migrant life. Many of the rustic brick houses were built with money sent by Salvadoran workers in the United States. The surrounding region has itself drawn field workers from Honduras and Nicaragua, making it both a source and landing spot for migrants.
At the school Yedmi attended, about three-fourths of the 168 students between the ages of 12 and 15 have parents living in Los Angeles, New York, Houston and other U.S. cities, said the principal, Mario Romano.
The killings in Mexico have stirred indignation in Las Penitas, but few residents were eager to discuss them, fearful that the smugglers would come back for vengeance.
"Everybody is scared," said Yedmi's ninth-grade teacher, Milagro Martinez, who recalled her as a good student, quiet and humble.
The slayings underscored the perils of a more than 1,300-mile trip north that involves at least three border crossings, and often means dangerous rides atop Mexican trains. Past studies estimate that 400,000 migrants a year cross through Mexico.
Advocates have long complained that criminals and corrupt officials prey on migrants, but they say the risks have worsened due to the deepening involvement of crime groups.
Mexico's National Human Rights Commission estimated last year that 1,600 migrants are kidnapped each month.
In El Salvador and other countries from which the victims came, the massacre has raised another dark question: how many others have met the same fate, but were never found?
Mexico, whose citizens migrate northward too, is in the uncomfortable position of defending its treatment of foreign migrants. In Honduras, home to at least 14 of the victims, the front pages of newspapers have carried photos of coffins and grief-struck relatives.
A young man from Ecuador and a Honduran are the only known survivors.
Officials said the Ecuadoran, Luis Freddy Lala Pomavilla, 18, told them that the Zetas captured his group and demanded that they join the gang. Other news reports have quoted relatives of some of the dead as saying they received calls demanding money shortly before the bodies turned up on a ranch in Tamaulipas.
Lala, back in Ecuador, went on television to urge compatriots not to try crossing into the United States the way he did. "The Zetas are killing a lot of people," he said.
Mexican officials say they will crack down on drug gangs that have branched out into migrant smuggling and kidnapping migrants to extort money. Deportations of undocumented migrants have dropped drastically from 250,000 in 2005 to 43,000 so far this year — a sign that fewer people are crossing Mexico. Authorities attribute the decline mainly to a sagging job market and immigration crackdowns in the United States. But they note that the increasing violence in Mexico probably is also a deterrent.
Still, few in El Salvador expect the slayings to deter some people from the migrant trail.
"There are sons and daughters living alone here, taken care of only by their grandparents. And the parents want to hug their daughters and sons and give them a better life," said Martinez, the Las Penitas schoolteacher.
"But besides that, and most terrible, is that they think that the risk of death is maybe worth taking."

Deportations raise rights question; Consul wants proof immigrants properly informed
By Crystal Gutierrez
KRQE
11 Aug 2010
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A traffic stop that led to the deportation of two illegal immigrants raises serious questions about whether detained aliens are being informed of their rights under an international treaty, according to Mexico's consul in Albuquerque.
Consul Gustavo de Unánue said he now wants to see documentation that the civil rights of illegal immigrants from Mexico are not being violated.
According to the Mexican Consulate on July 9 an Albuquerque police officer pulled over a man and his sister and said they were speeding.
De Unánue said after the officer asked for the man’s driver’s license, registration and insurance he asked about the pair’s citizenship. De Unánue said the officer then called Border Patrol.
Soon after the federal agents arrived the sibling’s parents drove up and that is when their father’s citizenship was questioned.
The Mexican Consul said the officer was racial profiling and had no right to call in Border Patrol.
“It’s not his job,” de Unánue said. “If you detain somebody for speeding you give them the speed ticket and that’s it.”
Albuquerque’s Public Safety Director Darren White said the officer was trying to verify the man’s identity and that procedure is allowed.
Both the father and son were deported.
However, racial profiling is not the only thing that the consulate is questioning.
“We're talking about the rights of these people to contact their consulate,” de Unánue said.
De Unánue said neither of the men, who were deported, called the consulate. Then he started looking up all the other cases of deportations that started with city police.
Since Mayor Richard J. Berry's initiative allowing federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to check the immigration status of everyone arrested in the city about 150 illegal immigrants have been identified.
According to the Vienna Convention all illegal immigrants who are arrested in any country are supposed to be informed that they have the right to talk to their country's consulate.
The Mexican Consul said not one has called the consulate.
“I am assuming that no one told them they had the right to contact me,” de Unánue said.
City spokesman T.J. Wilham said that it is not the job of the city to make sure illegal immigrants are being told about their civil rights since city officers do not check the citizenship status.
“We are not in the business of checking immigration status,” Wilham said.
Wilham said the city is leaving that up to the federal agents, ICE officials, who are housed in the same prisoner transport center as the city police.
De Unánue said no matter whose job it is the consulate wants documentation that it's being done.
He said they will propose that all illegal immigrants be given a document informing them of their rights to read and sign.
“Just to make sure the people have their rights respected,” de Unánue said.
According to ICE Spokesperson Leticia Zamarripa it is standard procedure to inform all illegal immigrants about their rights to speak with their consulate. Zamarripa said she will check if they are already documenting this procedure.
Berry said he would not comment until the investigation is complete.
