Life for illegal immigrants returning to Mexico

Thanks to stepped up enforcement, the number of illegal immigrants heading back to Mexico is greater than the number coming to the U.S. Bill Whitaker reports on what happens when families are forced to leave.

They are over crowded because rich people aren't paying enough taxes. Do you think anything will change? The immigrants are being used as scape goats to hide the real problems.

Also anyone that becomes a US citizen if they commit certain crimes. After they spend their jail time. They can have citizenship revoked. And be sent back to their country of origin.
