Can You Believe This Cheap Mexican airlines are taking Mexican right to our border for illegal immigration? Question: MEXICALI, Mexico - Among travelers, it's jokingly known as Aeromigrante - Migrant Air. New discount airlines in Mexico are doing a brisk business shuttling migrants to the U.S. border, turning what was once a days-long trek into an easy hop for legions of workers, both legal and illegal. "It's much more comfortable than the bus and about the same price," said Leopoldo Torres, 37, of Mexico City, as he stretched his legs aboard Volaris Flight 190 to the border city of He and a traveling companion, Julio Menéndez, paid $118 each for the three-hour flight. They planned to cross into the United States illegally through the California desert. Such migrants have become bread-and-butter customers for airlines Volaris, Avolar, Alma, Viva Aerobus, Interjet and Click, all of which have started up in the past two years. Older carriers such as Aero California and Aviacsa have cut their own prices to compete. "The most productive routes we have are cities where you have those passengers who are traveling with the idea of the American Dream," said Luis Ceceña, a spokesman for Avolar. About 70 percent of Avolar's passengers are migrants, he said. For some airlines like Avolar, the emphasis on migrant travel was a conscious decision, with company officials structuring their routes and fares around migrants' needs, he said. For others, it was simply a side effect of low prices, which have opened up air travel to millions of poorer Mexicans. The airlines say they treat migrants like any other passengers. The Mexican government has promised to try to slow emigration by creating jobs in Mexico. But by law, Mexican authorities and companies cannot impede the free travel of their fellow citizens, even if they suspect they are going to cross the U.S. border illegally. Heading for the desert Travelers planning to cross illegally are easy to spot. At the Hermosillo airport, a major crossroads for migrants headed to the Arizona desert, they are the men traveling in groups of three and four, wearing new sneakers or hiking boots and carrying nothing but backpacks. "Altar! Naco! Nogales!" taxi dispatcher Javier Montaño shouted outside the airport as he directed travelers to vans headed to the main staging grounds for illegal border crossers. Because of the increased traffic, Mexican immigration agents now check the IDs of all arriving passengers, even on domestic flights, to try to catch Central American migrants headed to the border. In Hermosillo, federal police conduct spot checks on the vans before they leave the airport. "By law, we can't stop the Mexican (migrants)," police Officer Carlos Zequera Arias said. "But the Central Americans are starting to get on these flights, too." Falling prices Until the flood of discount airlines began in 2005, air travel in Mexico was too expensive for most poor Mexicans. A one-way flight from central Mexico to Tijuana ran $300 or more on the country's two flag carriers, Aeromexico and Mexicana. For most migrants, getting to the border meant days of travel on long-distance buses - or for the very poor, a harrowing and illegal ride on Mexico's railways while clinging to a freight car. The discount airlines cut costs by copying the business model of U.S. carrier Southwest Airlines. They fly out of smaller airports, make several stops on the same trip, bypass travel-agent fees by selling directly to customers, and concentrate on a few high-volume routes instead of a hub-and-spoke system. Typical fares to Tijuana from Toluca, just east of Mexico City, are now around $150 on the discount airlines. That has opened up air travel to millions of new customers, said José Calderoni, marketing director for Volaris. About one-third of the airline's passengers have never flown before, he said. Overall, the number of Mexicans flying has jumped 36 percent since 2004. About 13.4 million people took domestic flights from January to June, according to Mexico's Institute of Statistics, Geography and Information Processing. The discount airlines have been adding planes and routes at a breakneck pace. Avolar has grown from one jetliner and three destinations to nine with 16 destinations. Viva Aerobus has 21 destinations and plans to double its fleet to 10 jets from five. Interjet has nine planes and says it will order 20 more. Alma has 15 regional jets and 25 destinations, Volaris has 12 planes and 17 destinations, while Click has 26 destinations with 18 planes and six on order.

If you are refering to the Olmec, Izapa, Teotihuacan, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, Huastec, Tarascan, "Toltec" and Aztec indigenous groups that were the first "Mexicans" then I have news for you: approx 95% of the idigenous populations died from disease and war when the spanish came over. look it up. Today's Mexicans are mostly of Spanish descent (infact only about 11% of the Mexican population is of true indigenous blood) and therefore we have a much right to the land as they do. Diana- just HOW MUCH money has Mexico contributed over the yrs to aid 3rd world countries? the mexican officials down there are far more greedy than americans |

What do you think Lawmakers told border crime getting out of hand? Question: Along the newly fenced Mexican border, dangerous and heavily armed groups are increasingly smuggling people as well as dope — and U.S. border investigators must dedicate more time to dismantle their organizations, according to a Government Accounting Office report released to Congress Thursday. Though Congress has increased the Border Patrol to an all-time high of 20,000 officers, a small cadre of specialized federal investigators assigned to Immigration & Customs Enforcement devotes 16 percent of its time to probing the netherworld of border smuggling. And some border specialists have gotten stuck shuffling detainees instead of pursuing criminal leads, according to the GAO report presented Thursday to the U.S. House's border subcommittee. Zetas branch out The U.S-Mexican human smuggling business generates billions, but ICE agents have never managed to seize more than $17 million a year in smugglers' assets, Richard M. Stana, director of the GAO's Homeland Security and Justice Issues office, told the committee. He called those results "tepid." A decade ago, 90 percent of Mexicans and other would-be illegal migrants crossed into the U.S. without using so-called coyotes, Stana said. But with a new wall and twice as many border agents, they increasingly use professional smugglers. That has meant higher prices charged by the smugglers, which attracted organized crime gangs to a business once dominated by less-violent operations rooted in migrant communities. On the Texas border, the Zetas, the vicious former enforcers of the Gulf Cartel narcotics smuggling organization, have branched into the human smuggling trade. "As we've done more to secure our borders, alien smuggling organizations have increasingly become more bold, violent and dangerous," subcommittee chairman Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, said Thursday. "Particularly troubling is the potential for these organizations to smuggle terrorists into our country." Signs of sophisticated, highly armed and well-financed smuggling operations and related kidnapping and extortion rings have emerged in all U.S.-Mexico border towns, as well as large cities like Houston and Phoenix. In Arizona, a pre-dawn battle between human smugglers and gangsters killed 21 people on July 1 in the Sonoran desert south of Nogales. In Houston, agents rescued 11 immigrants held at gunpoint in a house by one violent group of coyotes in 2009 and later dismantled a network of 14 illicit transportation companies used by smuggling rings. Inspiration from Arizona The GAO report suggests the U.S. government look to Arizona for inspiration on how to disrupt smugglers' financial networks. At the hearing, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard described how he's worked to cut off money to criminal groups, successfully targeting used car lots, money transfer agencies, travel agents, drop houses and other businesses linked to smuggling and money laundering. In an interview, Tre Rebstock, an ICE agent who is president of the local officers' union in Houston, said agents would "love to see more resources" for smuggling operations across the Southwest. "Anyone in investigative work will tell you 'Follow the money' anytime you want to know what's going on," he said. "I would love to see them track these people by their money. No one likes to be separated from their money." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/7120928.html Answer: Mexican soldiers fought late-night gunbattles with gangs who forced citizens from their cars and used the vehicles to block streets in a city across the border from Texas. The Nuevo Laredo city government posted messages on Facebook warning citizens to stay indoors as the battles erupted at several intersections Wednesday night. City officials on Thursday said they could not immediately confirm witness reports that several gunmen were killed. Gangs used stolen cars and buses to block several main avenues in the city across from Laredo, Texas. Several residents called local newspapers to report thefts. "For your security, stay in your homes until the alert has passed," the city government wrote on Facebook. When the violence subsided, the government urged citizens to come forward and reclaim their stolen vehicles. Nuevo Laredo is among several northern cities under siege from a turf battle between the Gulf cartel and its former enforcers, the Zetas gang of hit men. Violence has surged along the northeastern border with the United States since the two gangs split earlier this year. Gangs have frequently blocked streets in the middle of the cities to thwart soldiers coming to the aid of colleagues under fire. In the northern state of Chihuahua, a banner appeared on a bridge threatening violence against "innocents" unless the state government fires its chief of police intelligence, Fernando Ornelas, the Diario de Juarez newspaper reported Thursday. The banner appeared in the state capital, also called Chihuahua. Last week, drug gangs introduced a new threat to Mexico's drug war, detonating their first successful car bomb. The attack killed a federal police officer and two others in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua's largest city. Yes nobody in these border towns are worried and dismiss the Gulf cartel and its former enforcers, the Zetas gang of hit men. Violence has surged along the northeastern border with the United States since the two gangs split earlier this year.I don't know what planet these people live in but this is reality and it already has spilled over into the US.To say the the entire border is safer than fort knox is truly living in denial.They say it is so safe because none of them live in these areas. they go talk to the people at the border and ask them what they think.its easy to say no problems when supporters live thousands of miles away from it all.Of course all the kidnappings, drophouses, people held against their will is simply the norm to those who support Mexico as this is an accepted practice and people must do what they must do to feed their familes |

Did you read this??? Question: Illegal sent home after "free" treatment in Ariz. Chris Hawley Republic Mexico City Bureau Mar. 17, 2008 12:00 AM ECATEPEC, Mexico - When the motorcycle that illegal immigrant Laura Velázquez was riding slammed into a concrete wall, it cost a Phoenix hospital $478,000 to save her life. The hospital is footing the bill. But Velázquez's life in America is finished after hospital officials sent her back to Mexico. Velázquez's story is an example of what happens when uninsured illegal immigrants need medical care, a problem that costs American hospitals and taxpayers millions of dollars each year. It's a critical issue, because a federal program aimed at reimbursing hospitals is scheduled to disappear at the end of this year. advertisement But Velázquez's case also shows how innocent people can get ensnared in the illegal-immigration controversy. Velázquez, now 22, never asked to come to the United States; she was brought as a child. She wasn't driving the motorcycle; she was only a passenger. Her journey home has attracted the attention of Mexico's national media. Government officials in Ecatepec, her hometown on the outskirts of Mexico City, say she should have been allowed to recover in Phoenix, and they have accused the United States of indifference. Velázquez, meanwhile, lies in a dim, windowless room in a relative's home in Ecatepec and thinks about how things used to be. "I want to walk again," she said, her voice a whisper because of a tracheotomy tube. "I want to go home." Twist of fate When Velázquez was 11 years old, she and her mother climbed into a car trunk in Nogales, Sonora, and emerged again in Arizona. They moved to Laveen with her father, a landscaping worker. Velázquez learned English, attended Summit High School and had two children with her high-school sweetheart. She worked off and on at a furniture store, processing credit applications. On Jan. 26, a neighbor invited her for a ride on his motorcycle. What happened next is unclear. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Phoenix Police Department have no record of the crash. Velázquez remembers little, her family says. But whatever happened, it was violent. When an ambulance brought her to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, her upper spine was snapped, her left lung was collapsed, and her left leg and arm were broken. Paramedics reported that the motorcycle had hit a concrete wall, said Margaret McBride, the hospital's vice president of mission services. The driver escaped with minor injuries, said Velázquez's mother, Estela Loera. For days, Velázquez fought for her life. "The patient has been medically unstable," doctors' notes said. "Surgery has been canceled multiple times." In all, Velázquez underwent three operations to repair her spine, mend her bones and install breathing tubes. Costly care No one is sure how much uninsured illegal immigrants like Velázquez cost the United States, according to a 2004 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. That's because hospitals usually don't ask patients about their immigration status. But a study by the Border Counties Coalition estimated that illegal immigrants accounted for more than $200 million of the $845 million in unpaid medical and ambulance bills in 2002 at hospitals along the U.S.-Mexican border. By law, hospitals must treat emergency medical patients until they are healthy enough to be discharged. The cost is a serious burden for hospitals in border states. Some have had to cut back on other services. "I've had to close my OB department down, I've had to close my long-term-care facility down, because the drain on the resources doesn't allow it," said Jim Dickson, administrator of Copper Queen Community Hospital in Bisbee. "We're into rationing because of the uncompensated (care)." Under pressure from lawmakers in border states, in 2003 the federal government set aside $250 million a year to reimburse hospitals for illegal-immigrant care. But the program applies only to the first two or three days of care, and the program expires at the end of this year. Hospital trade groups are lobbying to get it renewed. As Velázquez's tab grew, hospital officials knew they would never get the money back, McBride said. So they declared her a charity case, essentially forgiving her $478,000 bill. Last year, St. Joseph's spent $17 million on such charity cases, immigrants and U.S. citizens alike. "Ultimately, it does cost the community," McBride said. "It affects the programs we can offer, the technology we can buy, the raises we can give employees." Hospital officials knew another problem was on the horizon: Velázquez would need long-term care. Without insurance or legal residency, no U.S. hospital would take her. Mexico, however, has government-run hospitals and a free, if rudimentary, socialized medical system. Coming home Velázquez arrived in Hermosillo, capital of the northern Mexican state of Sonora, in an aircraft chartered by St. Joseph's. In her immigration photo, blue-and-white breathing tubes cover her face. Relatives went to the Ecatepec government for help bringing Velázquez the remaining 1,000 miles home. That's how the Mexican press learned about her case. "Woman deported in vegetative state," read a headline in the newspaper El Universal. "Hospital that treated her reported her as illegal," read one in El Gráfico. "(Mexican) federal authorities did nothing," El Milenio added. The stories exaggerated. Velásquez wasn't in a vegetative state, her family says. She can talk a little and move her head, arms and toes. She wasn't deported, either: McBride said St. Joseph's never had any contact with immigration officials. But at a time when the United States is building border fences and cracking down on illegal immigrants, the story of the comatose woman kicked out by the Americans quickly spread around Mexico. None of the articles mentioned the free medical care. The Ecatepec government looked into flying her home, but no airline would take a patient in such grave condition, said Osmar León, a city councilman who chairs the health committee. A chartered jet was out of the question: It would have cost $40,000, one-tenth of the city's entire health budget, he said. And so Velázquez was loaded into an ambulance for a 26-hour ride across Mexico. She cost Arizona taxpayers $478,000 DOLLARS!!! This is what only ONE illegal has cost Arizona taxpayers!! Is it any WONDER that we do NOT want them here? Answer: "But a study by the Border Counties Coalition estimated that illegal immigrants accounted for more than $200 million of the $845 million in unpaid medical and ambulance bills in 2002 at hospitals along the U.S.-Mexican border." So $645 million dollars in unpaid medical debt is incurred by Americans...what can we do about them? |

Crossing the border to Mexico? Question: I'm going to Arizona in October, my friend and I want to take a day trip to Mexico, since neither of us have been to Mexico via a land border, I don't know what place to cross @. We are going to park on the US side and walk across. We are going mainly to do a little shopping. Which crossings do you suggest? I've considered Nogales or Lukeville, but it looks like Lukeville would require a car to get to the shopping. thanks for any info! Answer: Nogales ... walk across and you are in town. Decent places to stay on the US side |

What is your reaction to Undocumented couple leave SB 1070 behind? Question: A white Ford pickup with Arizona plates is driving north on U.S. 191 headed for the Utah border. Afraid of encountering police, the family inside is traveling at night. The pickup's headlights cut through a sea of darkness. The family is in a hurry to get out of Arizona, to get away from the state's harsh new immigration law. The pickup crosses into Utah at 11:59 p.m. Luis Sanchez breathes a sigh of relief as his wife, Marlen Ramirez, keeps driving. Both are undocumented immigrants from Mexico. "Look," he says. "We are here. We have arrived in Utah." They have made it safely out of Arizona, past the Maricopa County sheriff's deputy they saw as they were leaving Surprise and past the highway patrol cars they saw along Interstate 17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff. They still have a long way to their final destination: Pennsylvania. There will be engine troubles along the way. And more police. And frayed nerves. But the hardest part of the nearly 2,700-mile journey will be the end. Their final destination is where starting their lives over begins. Feeling like prisoners Luis and Marlen, both 33, lived in Arizona for more than 15 years. They are from the same small town, Xaltianguis, in southern Mexico, but they met while living at the same West Valley apartment complex. Luis was 17 when he crossed the border illegally near Douglas. Marlen was 16 when she jumped a fence near Nogales. Both came looking for work. Their three children are U.S. citizens because they were born in Arizona. The oldest, Luis Jr., is a quiet 13-year-old. Vanessa, 10, wears glasses and loves to talk. The baby, Christian, is 2. Lawyers have told Luis and Marlen that they do not qualify for legal residency. Luis has washed dishes at a restaurant on Grand Avenue, at a retirement home in Peoria and at a restaurant in Sun City West. For the past four years, he worked as a landscaper for a company that maintains office buildings in the West Valley. He earned $9.80 an hour. Marlen is a stay-at-home mom. Luis got his jobs using fake papers. He has managed to keep working despite the recession and Arizona's employer-sanctions law, which have made it much harder for illegal immigrants to get jobs. The couple started thinking about leaving Arizona when Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio began conducting his crime sweeps two years ago, saturating largely Latino neighborhoods with deputies, stopping vehicles for minor traffic violations and arresting illegal immigrants. The couple said the sweeps made them feel like prisoners. They used to enjoy spending Sundays at the park. But to avoid the police, they started staying home as much as possible. The day after Gov. Jan Brewer signed Arizona's new immigration law on April 23, Luis and Marlen decided to leave. They are not alone. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of families have fled Arizona, abandoning homes and apartments in already struggling neighborhoods. Many more are planning to leave. Some have returned to Mexico. Many are relocating to neighboring states, many of which may soon try to adopt laws similar to Arizona's. Luis and Marlen picked Pennsylvania. They have relatives there who say there is plenty of work.

Hopefully PA passes a similar bill in the future. They aren't going to go home,they are just going to relocate to another state so they can continue with the perks. There is not plenty of work in PA. Guess they'll be applying for welfare for their kids as well as food stamps and government housing. |

Probably just about 300 or so days after he was married! |
