TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) _ The towering black gate opens silently to an alley with walls of corrugated metal. Scrawled in large white letters on one wall is: “The End.” For those deported from the United States, the words are an unnecessary reminder. Nearly every hour of the day, guards unlock this gate that leads back into Mexico, clicking open the padlocks hung on each side, in each nation. Every time the gate slams shut, it wipes out a dream, divides a family, ends a life lived in the shadows of the law. On average, 700 Mexicans expelled from the United States walk through this gate daily, according to Mexican government figures.
