RETURN TO SENDER/ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

[Blindgreed1]

I think Dems and activists should also be prepared for some migrant parents who don't want to be reunited with their kids as well. Some of the migrant parents likely know that they have very little chance of getting asylum in the U.S. these days and would rather have their kids placed with relatives or foster families in the U.S. than have them quickly deported back to the violence and/or poverty they fled.

This is the first I have heard something like this.

The game plan for many was to come here, build up a nest egg and go back. That makes complete sense and if I was in that situation it would be would I would do. I'm seriously considering moving to Mexico.

Where have you heard or read this? I know this may be the ideal for some, but I have mostly heard and seen that most are fleeing violence and fleeing for their lives, not to pursue some opportunity.

I do hope the countries can begin to solve the violence issue and crack down on the gangs and issues. That is also ideal.

There were a few Alternative to Detention programs that were working-and our government decided not to continue them and continues to lie about thier success rates.

It's not possible to accurately determine how many are here for opportunity vs. asylum because illegal immigrants aren't very cooperative with any kind of census so the only firm numbers we can gather are on those who get caught and cooperate (obviously a very low number). In addition, the numbers would be skewed anyway, because even if they aren't here for asylum, they will claim they are once they are caught. I can tell you that the majority of the folks who cross in Az aren't seeking asylum. I'd also wager that the majority of folks who cross in Az cross with Coyotes and are held in homes with 50-60 other II's for ransom from their families. This is the main reason I am an advocate for immigration reform. What the coyotes do to these people is cruel inhumane.
