And the call US heartless - Mexico Deports 7,000 migrants

I find it ironic that only a month or so after Mexico's president openly criticized our failure to implement a guest worker program, the same president is deporting 7,000 illegal immigrants from Mexico after they were driven from their homes by a hurricane in 20005.

Mexico has a right to enforce their borders, as do we. What gets me is they try to tell us that we don't, while they evidently do. From BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Mexico deports stranded migrants:

"Mexico deports stranded migrants Mexico map Hundreds of illegal immigrants have been deported from Mexico after they became stranded when a train route through the country was closed down. Up to 7,000 people - mostly from Guatemala and Honduras - got stuck in southern Mexico when a rail link to the US ceased operating. US train operators Genesee & Wyoming Inc (GWI) closed the line because of damage caused by a hurricane in 2005."
