Mexico has refused a request from President Donald Trump’s administration to allow a U.S. military aircraft deporting migrants to land in the country, a U.S. official and a Mexican official told Reuters.
U.S. military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each with about 80 migrants, to Guatemala on Friday. The government was not able to move ahead with a plan to have a C-17 transport aircraft land in Mexico, however, after the country denied permission.
The Mexican official did not give a reason for the denial of permission to land, while the foreign ministry did not mention the incident.
Mexico could also have refused the transport because citizenship of the detainees could not be verified.
I mean you almost know that Trump and his syncophants don’t give a fuck who they send where … they just want them gone.
I expect some of the illegal immigrants to lie about their country of origin. If you are from Venezuela, why would you say you are from there and get sent back, when you can say you are Mexican and ICE can’t say otherwise, so you get sent to Mexico where things are better than Venezuela.
Because, believe it or not, we can tell each other apart and we know when someone is not Mexican….
That’s some high level racism. Do they use phrenology?
In my experience we can often tell roughly where someone is from going only by speech and use of slang. While I can only speak for a Mexican perspective, I imagine the same is true for people from most of the Latin American countries, and I imagine the same could be said for people from different states in the US of A. No idea if that’s what they meant, but it’s not necessarily based on racism.
