Activists decry lack of government support for deported Mexicans

The Institute for Women in Migration (IMUMI) has denounced the lack of support provided by the government to Mexicans who have been returned from the United States, claiming no legal assistance is being provided to Mexicans in the US, who are simply being given lists of pro bono immigration attorneys to contact. The group also said once in Mexico, returnees are provided “no attention” from the Mexican government.

"What they're doing is crowding institutions along the border. They're putting officials from the Ministries of Education, Welfare, and Health in the tents. But people aren't staying at the border; they're trying to return to their communities of origin, and what they're finding is that these communities are controlled by organized crime and there's a lack of job opportunities."
