Here’s How the Mexican Government Treats Its Illegal Immigrants

The Left loves to claim that the way America treats illegal immigrants proves that we’re a nation of xenophobes. To them, if you’re not letting every poor person in the world come here, and if you’re not giving them welfare, you must be a racist scumbag. If only they knew how other countries treat their illegal immigrants.

A recent report has revealed that Mexico’s National Immigration Institute has been torturing Central American migrants that have entered Mexico illegally. According to the victims, this torture includes beatings and electric shocks, and it isn’t limited to migrants. Mexican citizens have been scooped up by security forces and accused of being illegals. According to human rights activists:

“The order appears to be to detain Central Americans at any cost, even if that means violating the constitution, picking up people based on racist criteria and detaining and deporting Mexican indigenous youth along the way…They can get away with it because it impacts highly vulnerable populations who may not speak Spanish, don’t know their rights, and are unlikely to complain.”

These actions are partly being blamed on pressure and foreign aid from the United States. The implication is that Mexican officials are getting money for every migrant they send back, so now they’re taking drastic measures to find and deport these people.
