No More Flying Illegals Back To Mexico

The Border Patrol has stopped flying illegal immigrants back to Mexico, ending a 7-year experiment that cost nearly $100 million. The agency flew home more than 125,000 Mexican citizens who had crossed the border illegally. Supporters say it was a humane way to return people to Mexico and deter other would-be migrants. But officials are now struggling to fill the planes as Border Patrol arrests are at 40-year lows and fewer people are coming to the United States.

What's wrong with using a bus to take `em across??

Daddio, you should call some time. It's been a while.

I could fill a plane full of illegals in an hour with a small posse of Americans.

They should have flown them to a place where they could NOT come back from....how many were repeat offenders?
