TJ Canal Clean up?

BooJumMan - 3-30-2015 at 07:51 AM

Anyone know about what the Mexican government does with these people? I've heard that they do sweeps and clean out all the people and encampments in the canal, but never really noticed it before. This weekend I noticed that the entire canal, streets and surrounding areas were completely clean of homeless and trash. Not sure if this is common or not, but was the first time I noticed it. Anyone know whats up?

Where did they go?

Most, if not all of the persons that where camped in the concrete channel were recent deportees from the US and Tijuana didn't want them or had no place to put them.
'Tijuana also has received through the San Ysidro port of entry and its smaller sister port of Otay Mesa more than 220,000 criminals, or nearly 1 of 4 Mexicans convicted of a crime who have been removed from the United States by ICE."
Since they can not find work or a place to stay many become recruits for the drug cartels.

After the channel was cleaned up they were bused to somewhere in Mexico, but where?
