But Mexico is facing similar problems on its southern border, as Central Americans in search of higher-paying work pour into that country from countries like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Nobody knows exactly how many of those migrants are headed to the United States, but most put that figure at 150,000 or more a year, and the pace of illegal migration north has picked up dramatically over the past decade, propelled in part by the lingering aftermath of the 1970s and ’80s civil wars in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/ ... orney-textVery troubling..Should MX establish sanctuary cities/healthcare for illegal immigrants?
