MEXICANS plan to take a leaf out of outspoken Donald Trump's book of wisdom - and build a wall to keep migrants out.

They are calling for a huge border barricade to keep out Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Hondurans fleeing violence in their homelands.

They complain 'swathes of illegals pass through their country on their way to a new life in the United States.

However once they arrive in the US they are quickly deported back to Mexico rather than their home countries.

Central American migrants are left stuck in border cities with Mexican officials unable to afford to send them back to their own countries, according to an article in the El Mañana newspaper titled: 'Yes to the Border Wall … but in Mexico's South.'

Trump sparked international outrage last year when he unveiled his idea for a giant wall on the US border with Mexico - which he claimed Mexico would pay for.

But while Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has mocked Trump's plans, many Mexicans praised the concept of a border wall.

"Trump's idea of a border wall is a good one but it should be on the southern border with Central America in order to stop the flow of Central Americans from entering both countries," the El Mañana board wrote in July.

The paper also called for proper immigration checkpoints on the southern border.

The newspaper says that many illegal immigrants turn to crime as shelters can often only provide a few days of food and bedding.

"Many of these migrants when they are unable to find an honest way of life turn to robberies, kidnappings, extortion, and in the worst cases join the ranks of organised crime," El Mañana's piece claimed.

Most are fleeing violence and gangs in their home countries yet most immigrants eventually end up back where they started at home.

Mexico deported 175,000 Central Americans last year - a massive 68 per cent increase from 2014.

That was the same year that the Central American refugee crisis hit headlines when thousands of migrant children arrived without their families at the US border.

The US has sent £50m for equipment and training to Mexico to help with the crackdown on immigrants.
