17,000 Foreigners Rejected
During the first five months
this year, Costa Rican law
enforcement agencies prevented
17,071 aliens from illegally
entering the country.
The regulation applied in these
cases is called "immigration
rejection", and is applied at
the borders or within a few
meters from them.
According to the Immigration
service, most of the rejections
(12,779) took place at the Peñas
Blancas crossing to Nicaragua,
followed by the Immigration post
at Los Chiles, also close to the
Nicaraguan border (3,821).
According to Immigration boss
Mario Zamora, another 261 aliens
were deported during this
period.
