Officials Won’t Deter Illegal Migrants

The Mexican government said it will not try to stop its citizens from crossing illegally into the U.S. because they have a right to try to better their lives. “We will do nothing that limits or discourages migration to the United States by people who leave their families and their hometowns to better their living conditions,” said Fernando Solis Camara, head of the Mexican migration agency. The bodies of eight Mexicans, believed abandoned without water by smugglers, were found in the desert east of San Diego last week.
