Speaker 1: If there was ever an award for the most ironic
Speaker 1: news story, this could win it. The Washington Post recently
Speaker 1: reported on the problems illegal immigrants face after they've been
Speaker 1: deported back to Macho. It's supposed to make you cry
Speaker 1: and make you mad. Some of the illegal immigrants that
Speaker 1: the Post chose to profile lived in America for decades.
Speaker 1: They are said to barely recognize the Mako they were
Speaker 1: forced to return to, and there are other problems. A
Speaker 1: Malia Garcia, Mexico City's Labor department secretary, complains that many
Speaker 1: of these people come not knowing how to speak Spanish.
Speaker 1: Not knowing the language of the country they're living in
Speaker 1: makes them feel very bitter, very ashamed, and very here.
Speaker 1: It does. Another problem for the newly arrived Mexicans is
Speaker 1: that their kids are having problems attending scruel. Apparently, the
Speaker 1: Mexican government puts up all sorts of roadblocks. For instance,
Speaker 1: transcripts of their grades in the US must be in you,
Speaker 1: and the red tape applying to school can take over
Speaker 1: a year to fix. But for many the biggest problem
Speaker 1: is that the Mexican government isn't generous with public assistance,
Speaker 1: welfare benefits, there's no government mandated bilingual help, there are
Speaker 1: no schools and few welfare benefits. And this is for
Speaker 1: people who are Mexican citizens, not illegal immigrants. So welcome
Speaker 1: home to Maico, mi amigos,
