Mexico pledges help to expelled Mexicans

This is one of those happy-yet-sad stories: the Mexican government is offering more help to Mexicans deported from the US, including full bus fare back to their hometowns, rather than the half they paid previously.

My isolationist self says, good, get-gone, law breakers, while my knee-jerking liberalness says "no, wait, help them come back, even our weak economy is stronger than their home economy." But no, the best response is in the middle and probably towards sending them home. But it's certainly a positive step from Mexico to have a better infrastructure in place to receive people going through a pretty (literally and figuratively) unsettling process.
