Mexicans return 400 migrants to Guatemala

Mexican authorities returned about 400 migrants to their native Guatemala on Wednesday, a day after they and 113 other migrants were found hidden inside two trailer trucks.

Officials of Mexico's national immigration institute said the 113 migrants still being held are from countries that don't share borders with Mexico or are Guatemalan minors or women who require special treatment.

The 400 Guatemalan migrants were returned to their country in air-conditioned buses on Wednesday, a stark contrast to the sweltering, overcrowded trailers where they were found.

The remaining migrants include 47 from El Salvador, 32 from Ecuador, 12 from India, six from Nepal, three from China and one each from the Dominican Republic and Honduras, as well as Guatemalan minors and women.

Using the impaired, deteriorated logic of the right-wing, you'd have to assume all these people are trying to FLEE from their countries, and their countries' presidents.
