Mexican military begins arresting migrants riding 'The Beast' train to US border

[pipedreams]

About time.

"Mexican military deployed throughout the country as part of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's vow to do more to apprehend migrants headed to the United States, have officially begun targeting foreigners who have hitched rides aboard a freight train known as "The Beast" to get to the U.S.-Mexico border, local media reported Sunday.

Mexican National Guard held up the "La Bestia" train in an unpopulated area near Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, a city north of the Mexico-Guatemala border, where migrants have been crossing into the country.

The operation marked the first of its kind since López Obrador and President Trump reached a deal late Friday, in which the U.S. would hold off on tariffs against Mexican imports if the government did more to prevent people from traveling through the country."

I hope this helps and further steps aren't necessary.

I'm afraid as time goes on they will get lazy and mobs will continue.  That's one reason we need the wall.

Well, the Republic of Mexico thinks they are more enlightened than the United States because they don't have an official death penalty.  But, unofficially, there is yet another mass grave.  That is how Mexico handles illegals they don't want or a nuisance to them.

Anyone opposed to our immigration system should look at Mexico's, instead of holding them up as an example of liberal attitudes towards immigration.

Anyone opposed to a lawful enforcement of our laws by our LEO's, should look at how the law is bought and sold by the Mexican government and their law enforcement.

How many innocent citizen deaths has Mexico had from those who buy their influence to operate unfettered in the Drug trade.

Every Mexican president has gone into office with the promise that they would fight Drug lords, crime,  and their influence over the population.

Mexico is a poor standard to apply to American society.
