El Salvador Expects Massive
Repatriations From The US
SAN SALVADOR - El Salvador immigration
authorities expect an increasing number of
repatriations will follow Thursday's
enforcement of SB 1070 stringent Arizona
Immigration Law.
General Immigration Director Ruben Alvarado
said this government office has increased
its staff to process the wave of nationals
expected to reach with its enforcement.
However, the NY Times says District Court
Judge Susan Bolton blocked the most polemic
items: random police checkup of immigration
status and forcing the immigrants to carry
their papers at all times.
SB 1070 will seriously affect 11 million
illegal immigrants in the US: 62 percent
reached through Mexico; 530,000 through El
Salvador; 480,000 through Guatemala; and
320,000 through Honduras.
Official statistics from El Salvador rate in
11,000 the repatriations from the US this
year, including 2,000 from Arizona.
