TIJUANA - The consul general of the United States in Tijuana, Andrew S. Erickson, urged deportees to not rely on attorneys who promise to return them to the United States following the decree by Barack Obama.

The representative of the American government in the region, said that some days ago Obama announced that those undocumented persons who have been in the United States since January 2010 to 2014 could be recognized.

This does not apply to deported persons, he reiterated, in spite of some law firms which have announced they could help them.

"We do not want people living in Tijuana thinking they are going to see a lawyer and pay and then receive American residency. It is not possible," he stressed.

It is important that immigrants outside the United States do not give their money in return for a promise that cannot be fulfilled, as the law is clear that deported persons are not eligible.
