Jeb Bush: "People who come here legally and illegally are the risk takers,” said
Bush. “If you’re living in a rural area of Guatemala and you come,
you’re a bigger risk taker than those who stay.” 3/21/14
3/29/14, "Mexico finds 370 abandoned immigrant children," Reuters, Mexico City
"In one week, 370
immigrant children, most of them from Central America, were found
abandoned in Mexico, after traffickers promised to take them to the
United States but left them to their own devices after being paid
thousands of dollars, authorities said.
Almost half of them, 163
children under the age of 18, were found traveling alone, Mexico's
National Migration Institute (INM) said in a statement.
Each
month, thousands of immigrants, mostly from Honduras, Guatemala and El
Salvador, attempt to emigrate to the United States, crossing several
borders in the process, despite the threat from drug gangs that kidnap,
murder and rape women.
The children
told federal migration agents that their 'guides' abandoned them after
accepting $3,000 to $5,000 in payments, INM said.
The
children and young people, who came from three of the poorest countries
in Central America, were found between March 17 and 24, in 14 different
states in Mexico.
"The
majority of the children showed signs of extreme fatigue, foot
injuries, dehydration and disorientation whereby they didn't know where
they had been abandoned," INM said.
Many
immigrants are able to get to the U.S. and then entrust their children
to the traffickers who pay large sums of money for them.
In
the week the children were found, a total of 1,895 immigrants from
various countries were detected in Mexico from countries as far away as
Somalia, Japan and Syria, among others."
