(Reuters) - A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to travel toward the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, emergency services said.
Many of the migrants aboard were young people and nobody was injured when the train nicknamed "the Beast" came off the tracks, a spokesman for local emergency services said.
Since last October, more than 50,000 unaccompanied minors, most from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, have been caught illegally crossing the southwest border of the United States.
----------------------------
What needs to be highlighted is the fact that the Mexican government is fully aware of the fact that trains heading north from southern Mexico are being used by those who wish to enter the United States illegally.
Does Mexico do anything to stop this practice of migrants transiting Mexico to illegally enter the U.S.? The Mexican government does absolutely nothing because the transient immigrants provide a cash flow to Mexicans.
Mexican law enforcement is complicit with this illegal migration since they believe that shaking down individuals is part of their daily income cash flow. Coyotes payoff local police as part of their overhead in contracting with these migrants looking to enter the U.S. illegally. Drug dealers sell drugs to these immigrants and often use them as mules to bring drugs into the U.S.
What is untold is how many of these individuals transiting Mexico are Islamic terrorists using the opportunity to cover their way into the U.S.
