Mexico is bracing itself for the mass arrival of individuals deported from the United States due to their illegal alien status, preparing over two dozen new shelters, which are set to open on the day of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

It’s amazing what you can get other countries to do to try and help solve a global humanitarian crisis, really, when the leader of the free world is taken seriously.
Reports of the new shelters, which will hold over 12,000 beds for new arrivals into the country, come via Marina del Pilar Avila Olmeda, currently serving as governor of Baja California, the 12th largest state in Mexico.
Olmeda spoke with reporters earlier this week and explained Mexico is taking Trump at his word when it comes to conducting mass deportations on day one of his new term.

“This is a strategic plan to accommodate exclusively people who get deported after January 20,” Olmeda conveyed, according to Border Report.
“What we do know, throughout his (Trump’s) campaign, he threatened to do this, and since he was already president of the United States, we believe this time he will be stricter and tougher when it comes to deportations,” she added.
“We are working to get ready and receive our migrants.”
Note the use of the word “our” in this case. Olmeda states unequivocally that they are only interested in housing Mexican citizens. Seems they don’t want criminal illegals within their borders either.
“These shelters that are being planned are for those being repatriated who are coming from north to south, but no foreigners, only Mexicans, this must be made clear,” she said, according to the report. “Mexicans will be welcomed back to their country, and their human rights will be respected.”

Five of the shelters will be located in the area just south of San Diego, while two others will be set up south of El Centro, California.
America is back. A country left rudderless by a feeble, ill-intentioned shell of a man for four years finally has a leader again. When Trump can convince other nations to help implement policies that benefit them AND America, it becomes clear he is a true visionary.
Even as Democrat extremists vow to fight Trump on his mass deportation plans, Mexico itself is stepping up its own efforts to deal with the coming situation.

The incoming president (some would say the current acting president) has been formulating plans to execute his promise of mass deportations once he assumes office. Reports have indicated he intends to use a national emergency declaration to repurpose assets from the Pentagon to detain and deport illegal immigrants.
Late last month, Trump declared that Mexico had vowed to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border, though their president disagreed with his conclusion.
He announced at the time that he “just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo,” and she “has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern border.”

Trump Says Mexico Will Stop Flow of Illegal Aliens After Conversation With Mexican President
While Sheinbaum Pardo would later cast doubt on those remarks, the opening of new shelters is an indication that Mexico is bracing itself to address the situation in some manner.
Trump has relentlessly insisted on not only stopping the flow of illegal immigration across both the southern and northern borders, but reversing it.
In an interview this past March, Trump vowed to begin mass deportations on “day one.”
Is the “day one” promise political fodder? Or will he seriously set the plan in motion?
Mexico seems to think it will be the latter.
The 25 planned shelters will open on January 20th, Trump’s Inauguration Day.
