Pictures Of Illegal Immigrants To Be Deported From America by BaberDirect(m): 10:20am On Nov 27, 2013 |
The experiences of illegal immigrants waiting in deportation centers in Arizona and California have been documented by a photographer. Photojournalist John Moore has been covering immigration stories in the U.S. since the 2010 introduction of Arizona's controversial law that allowed police to stop anyone they believed may be in the country illegally. His latest series of photos focus on immigrants, mainly from Mexico and Guatemala, being held in detention centers while they wait for a decision in their case. At California's Adelanto facility, about 1,100 immigrants are held as they wait for a decision or deportation. The center is the newest and largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in California, but the ICE holds about 33,000 undocumented workers in more than 400 centers across the U.S. In a detention center in Mesa, Arizona, the award-winning photographer followed Guatemalans as they were shackled and put on a plane. Guatemala is second only to Mexico in the number of illegal immigrants deported from the U.S. each year. Flights to Central America leave from Arizona nearly every day, according to the New York Times. While Mexicans are usually dropped at the border, immigrants who have traveled a dangerous journey from further afield have to be flown back to their home countries. When Moore was allowed to accompany 100 Guatemalans on the deportation flight, he noted their shoelaces were removed before they boarded the plane. 1 Like

He said many spent the journey staring out the window as Mesa, and their American dream, faded from view. 'I think most everyone agrees that the immigration policy in this country has lots of problems and that something needs to be done about it,' Moore told High Country News. 'Whether they can achieve that in Washington or not is still very much up in the air. But I think it's useful to have photos that help inform the public on this issue.' Those facing deportation spend an average of 29 days at centers like the one in California, where some illegal immigrants are kept in solitary confinement. Immigration policy has been a hot issue in recent years, and more than 409,000 illegal immigrants were deported last year, ICE figures showed. By next year, more people will have been deported under Barack Obama than any other president, leading to campaigns to end the separation of families, many of whom have children who are American citizens 1 Like

Most of these guys are probably criminals who've just finished serving jail time, these guys are mostly from countries like mexico, & other parts of the americas. It's very difficult to track or capture illegal immigrants in America, because its so big, once the person gets in, wooossh!! He disappears into thin air. Unfortunately, the US isnt big on human rights, once you are apprehended, you are going home, nothing can save you, not even your kids unlike europe where the legal process is long, most people wiggle their way through on human rights ground. 1 Like |
