Mexico has refused a request from President Donald Trump’s administration to allow a U.S. military aircraft deporting migrants to land in the country, a U.S. official and a Mexican official told Reuters.

U.S. military aircraft carried out two similar flights, each with about 80 migrants, to Guatemala on Friday. The government was not able to move ahead with a plan to have a C-17 transport aircraft land in Mexico, however, after the country denied permission.

The Mexican official did not give a reason for the denial of permission to land, while the foreign ministry did not mention the incident.

    This is exactly what I expected- countries will not take them back.

    And for all the people who claim there will be no concentration camps, what do you think they will do with all of the people they are planning to deport who’s countries won’t take them back? The plan is to deport 20 million people. Even 1% of that number who’s countries refuse to take them back would require a concentration camp. Even 0.1%. Even if the plan was to put those people in prison, we do not have enough beds in prisons.

      Iirc the (original) Nazis didn’t resort to camps first either. It’s painfully obvious where this is all going

        You’re exactly right. It did not start with the camps.

      Brazil took them back. I read they also got their first batch, a few hundred.

      This is crazy.

      will not take them back

      Because half the people in those airplanes are not even Mexican citizens, they mag be from any Latin American country. It’s literally the US dumping it’s problems into Mexico, of course they don’t allow any of that. That is also ignoring the humanitarian disaster that the US is generating and which Mexico would like to have no part in.
