Winter clothing and blankets have been handed out to immigrants and those living on the streets in and around the border city of Reynosa, according to local Family Development Agency (DIF) President Elvira Mendoza de Elías.
Reynosa lies across from McAllen, Texas, and is one of the main places where Mexicans are deported to when found to be undocumented inside the U.S. Many of those deported Mexicans come from other parts of the country, but have no money to return to their homes after being deported.
“We know that many of the immigrants are deported without their belongings and many of them are simply wearing light clothing,” said Mendoza. “That’s why we’re on guard in order to detect them and help them out.”
