  • Every year, more than 100,000 Mexicans living in the United States are deported to #Mexico. Many of them have grown up and spent decades in the #US, working, paying taxes and starting families. Some of them don't even speak Spanish. In a matter of days, they find themselves taken from their children and loved ones and escorted across the #border, unable to appeal their deportation. FRANCE 24 brings you a special full-length documentary on their plight.

      The U.S. military cannot fill its ranks without lowering requirements. This has been the case for some time now. But the practice of using military service as a road to citizenship is not new in the U.S. or most other armies, including the French military. Heck, they're famous for their own French Foreign Legion. That service was famous for never checking the background of its recruits. So it became the resort of many international criminals.

    After living in the U.S. for 50 years, I was deported. At times life has been difficult because at my age not much is expected. But the most difficult part of this is that those family members who are American citizens have forgotten me or turned their back on me completely. In their hearts since I am a deportee, I am less than worthy. All too soon their phone calls and text messages stopped. Today I am alone in my thoughts, memories, and prayers.

      The only hope u have if they deported To Mexico after living and working in the USA is that they have a right to claim their social security benfits. No matter what? U work in any country in the world that money belongs to u by law. As soon as u are incapaciteded or reached the age. U could claim. Print ur forms. And send them to the Usa. social security not everything its lost. They will send u, ur monthly check.

    [2] However, listening closely to these three stories, we get the revelation that they were not altogether guiltless: e.g., the veteran soldier confesses that he had used narcotics and was a drug-dealer while he was in the U.S.A. . . . So this is simply a case that his criminal past caught up with him . . . . At the end, by contrast, the grandmother returned to the U.S.A. and her asylum claim is giving her some reprieve, at least to be reunited with her family for a season....

      @@christopherboisvert6902 Be better according to who? Whenever a law is bent, it leads to more lawbreaking and it has, on a huge scale that I have witnessed and experienced personally many times. At the present, the U.S. Southern Border doesn't exist, but this report wants you to think that only the U.S. is "inhumane." Mexican drug cartels have moved into every West Coast city of any size and central and southern California are lawless zones where any and all crimes occur continually. Murder for fun, looting stores, and trains is now common and the police can hardly address just the violent crimes while local DAs let them out on bail and/or a slap on the wrist so they go on to bigger and worse crimes. The reason for this story? France has its own immigration issues that it is failing to manage. Thus, this accusatory story for distracting.

    As one who grew up in California from 1952 and lived there until 2002. I can tell you that not only is the premise of this story questionable, the overwhelming majority of Hispanics whether they just arrived in the past 20 years or are third generation and on, most often have Spanish as their second language. Spanish Language television has existed in California since the 70s. The Left in California has run the state into the ground. It began a long time ago when Mexican race-based political organizations like La Raza began o disrupt business at the Capitol in Sacramento, going onto the Assembly floor and disrupting activities, shouting, physically obstructing, etc. The police did not stop them then, and so now the police cannot stop much of anything in the entire state. On top of that, they hardly ever completely join American mainstream culture - assimilation has always been a problem. Only the children of mixed Anglo-Hispanic marriages tend to fall into that category. But on the other hand, much of the American Southwest, especially Southern and Central California look more like Mexico now in many aspects. It looks like a third-world country, worse, in many places. And the crime is completely out of hand. Stores are raided by mobs and even trains are boarded and looted en masse. Murder is common, as well as lesser violent crimes. But France 24 wants you all to know how unfair the U.S. treats the children of border jumpers.

      I live in South Texas in a small town west of Corpus Christi, and I have a neighbor that was born and raised by Spanish speaking family members and only speaks Spanish. She was born here. And for most of our town's history, Spanish has been extremely prominent here, so knowing English isn't even necessary. She's at least in her 60s now. People often do call our town "a poor town" and we do on average have poorer citizens. And segregation could be to blame. My great uncle often tells me about life during segregation. The town was majority mexican/latino, and the town to our north was mainly white. To the east was a small majority black pocket. In large part you can still see that today. So seeing displays of such blatant anglo nationalism never fails to make me nervous.
