New strategy seeks to disrupt immigration routes - Framework - Photos and Video - Visual Storytelling from the Los Angeles Times
New strategy seeks to disrupt immigration routes Posted By: Marc Martin Posted On: 6:50 p.m. | September 28, 2011 For years, illegal immigrants were deported across the border from where they were caught, a practice that allowed them to easily try again, sometimes within hours.
Now federal officials have adopted a new strategy that disrupts immigration routes.
Many immigrants caught in California are flown to Texas, and the flights return with immigrants caught in Texas. The new transfer program aims to disrupt long-established immigration patterns.
Critics view the expansion of the program with trepidation, saying it’s costly and deports immigrants into lawless border cities where they are preyed on by organized crime groups. But border authorities consider the program effective because it hinders immigrants’ ability to reestablish ties with smuggling groups.
