The Mexican Consulate in Santo Domingo granted twenty-five visas to Dominicans deported from the United States, who said that they were traveling to Mazatlan, Mexico to watch the Caribbean Baseball Series. Immigration officials questioned by Diario Libre reporters said that they did not think that the deportees had plans to return to the Dominican Republic. Statistics from Las Americas airport’s immigration office show that an estimated 300 people previously deported from the US, have been returned to the Dominican Republic after crossing into the US from Mexico.
