U.S. Resumes Vicious Cycle of Deportations to El Salvador
U.S. Resumes Vicious Cycle of Deportations
"This is a permanent vicious cycle. People look for opportunities outside, cannot be legalized, commit an infraction and are then expelled, only to try again and continue the cycle, despite the difficulties they know so well about the tragic route through Mexico. These are stories of sadness, constant pain and divided families on both sides of this drama."
With the start of the New Year, we note the accelerated rate of deportations from the United States. The cycle is being repeated.
On Monday, the usual work in the country resumed. Thus the operatic routine of deportations from the United States, a dramatic reminder of the cycle of migration - exodus and then expulsion - of thousands of our fellow citizens.
The first flight of the year arrived with more than 100 Salvadorans deported from the U.S.: 105 men and one woman, all with criminal records.
It's a never-ending drama. After immigration authorities feed them, give them medical care and legal assistance, they're on their own, without a penny and sometimes with only a small bag of belongings.
All 106 of Monday's deportees had some kind of record or offense against U.S. law, which more often than not has nothing to do with serious crime, but operating a vehicle at excessive speed or public disorder. In 2010 alone, of the 18,335 deportees, 7,756 had a record.
The trouble is that many will try again to gain admission to the nation, either because there's opportunity there or because they've already built their lives in the United States, where families have formed and established a heritage. Many were still small when they arrived, and for them, El Salvador is merely a reference point without roots. Of the 106 Salvadoran deportees, 20 had been expelled before.

"105 men and one woman, all with CRIMINAL records" speeding ticket and a public disorder are not a criminal offense,even though driving over the speed limit put the life of others and the driver himself in danger no country is very forgivness and prefer no to have this kind of citizens and im sure neither El Salvador would,
ReplyDeleteBut the point is instead of condemn such actions i think is time to educate ourselves and defined in what direction we want to bring our country to.
