PUERTO VALLARTA — Mexican immigration authorities have cancelled the immigration documents of 21 women found working as exotic dancers in a Cancun club.

The National Immigration Institute said Wednesday in a statement that the women from Colombia, Venezuela and Russia were not authorized to work at the La Premier Sports bar. The women were selling alcohol, performing erotic dances and offering sexual services. They were between the ages of 20 and 43.

Authorities say 17 of the women had entered Mexico on tourist visas and four had temporary resident cards. The statement says they would be deported in coming days.
