Mexican Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu said in a speech on Monday that America needs to bring down the wall of racism and fear that has made immigration, legal and otherwise, a difficult prospect for incoming Mexican migrants.
Her calls for a more tolerant and accepting American immigration policy fall flat against the reality that America already has porous borders. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of illegal immigrants cross into America every year. Barack Obama extended amnesty for millions of them last year, and the Democratic presidential candidates have made promises or hints of promises at reforming the naturalization process to make the path to citizenship easier on legal immigrants.
Mrs. Massieu seems to be making empty calls for reform from a United States so far past the point of no return on illegal immigration that the raising the subject is considered political suicide for anyone seeking to make the process any easier than it already is.

Why is it racist to want people to come here legally. I’ve got no problem with legal immigration, I’ve got a huge problem when you come here illegally and the first thing you do is start demanding everything for free.
Just like Mexico has! Try sneaking into Mexico and see what happens, and how much free stuff you get! If they don’t kill you, you’ll get a free place to stay, (PRISON)!
I always thought that was a great idea and perfect solution to all this c**p of illegal immigration!
Mexico must drop it’s corrupt government’s drug trafficking practices and embrace lawful government.
You worry about Mexico and wall on southern border. Keep your people, we are sending them back.
You know, I might feel sorry for you if you hadn’t already shipped anyone who could walk or crawl here illegally! Now-you keep them. You’ve taken your quota for several years. In fact we’ll even share and send some back! I’m sure you want your own people, don’t you?
Screw u Mexico ! You shouldn’t be embarrassed that you guys can take care of your own people
Of course…THAT works BOTH ways…don’t it? Americans will have the SAME rights in Mexico as Mexicans have here?
Ok, then there is no such thing as an anchor baby.
Get the kid out and send the entire family back
Actually we do not, fool
