The first US-funded flight carrying Honduran immigrants returning home arrived in San Pedro Sula on Monday.

After highly-publicized migrant detentions in the US and the deportation of hundreds of migrants to a high security prison in El Salvador, the passengers had accepted an offer to self-deport in exchange for a free flight back home.

The offer has been paired with highly-publicized migrant detentions in the US and the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a high-security prison in El Salvador.


Deputy Foreign Minister Antonio Garcia was there to meet the returning Hondurans:

"They say it's difficult, that there's a hostile atmosphere towards migrants, that they're afraid to go out to work or walk down the street, that sometimes there are raids in restaurants and workplaces. So it's a very unpleasant environment and they say: 'no, I'd rather not live like this, I'm going back to my country'."

Monday's flight carried 68 Hondurans, including four children born in the US. Twenty-six more migrants aboard the flight were headed home to Colombia

"Experts believe the self-deportation offer will only appeal to a small portion of migrants already considering return, but unlikely to spur high demand."


Experts = wishful thinkers = democrats.

Every little bit helps.  I wish them well.  The State Department and the Commerce Department should be working to make conditions in Honduras better for all Hondurans so they aren't desperate to leave.
