Mexican authorities, in coordination with those in the United States, will use two daily flights between the two countries to repatriate illegal immigrants captured near the mutual border in Arizona who voluntarily agree to take part in the program, officials said on Sunday.
The 2009 Voluntary Repatriation Program, which started up two days ago and will run until Sept. 28, is designed to guarantee a “dignified, safe, and orderly” return to their country for Mexican immigrants captured in the Arizona desert.
The flights will depart from Tucson and will have Mexico City as their final destination, the Foreign Relations Secretariat, Government Secretariat and National Migration Institute, or INM, said in a joint statement.
