9.000 Nicaraguans
Ejected in 17 Days
Costa Rican immigration
authorities say they
have ejected 9.000
Nicaraguans during the
last 17 days who
attempted to remain in
the country after
entering the country
illegally.
Immigration officials
say that during December
21, 2007 and January 6,
2008, some 530
Nicarguans were rejected
daily.
The numbers for the last
10 days (January 6 to
16) are believed to be
much higher when the
immigration service
reveals its findings,
party due to an
intensified operation
against illegals.
During the Christmas
holidays some 60.000
Nicaraguans left Costa
Rica and then returned,
some bringing with them
family and friends in
search for work.
