The Dreadful Plight of Mexicans Forced to Live in… Mexico
Marginally increased border enforcement has given rise to a new sub-category of the [1] sob story genre — Mexican citizens returned to their own country and required to live there. [2] Elvira Arellano (a [3] convicted felon) is the queen of this category, since she was [4] repatriated to Mexico last year and the [5] squawking hasn’t stopped since.
Carlos Martinez was in a state of total panic after being deported from the United States to the Mexican border city of Matamoros — he had no money, nowhere to go, and, worst of all, he didn’t speak Spanish. The 30-year-old New Yorker had left Mexico as a baby; when the Department of Homeland Security sent him south last May after he had served a prison term, he landed in a foreign land.
“I was crying when I went over the border. It was just a big joke to the U.S. immigration officials to have this Mexican who doesn’t speak Spanish. But I was terrified,” Martinez said.

Funny how Raza types demand that we American citizens speak Spanish; but Mexicans, not as much.
