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.

Migration is what happens when people run away from violent and dictatorial governments. It is a large exodus of people who are living in fear. What she is saying is that Mexicans fear their own government. Maybe it’s time they stood up for themselves and removed the criminals and restored decency and law to their own country
Mexico needs to keep its residents at home.
Bull chit
If you don’t want these people don’t try and send them our way because you will get them back$#%&!@*
P**s up a rope!
Right after Mexico does the same for the rest of S A. They’ve got A WALL on their southern border.
BARFFFFFFFFF!!!
I have never thought that Mexico had particular “embraced” immigration!?!?
its not racism its our sovereignty and we have every right to protect it for our own future and the future of generations to come. You want to migrate to USA bring value in assests, skills and knowledge. And be able to support yourself. Wee want proper vetting of immigrants. Who are you to tell Americans what they must do. If you took care of your citizens you wouldnt have to throw them over the border. They would stay in Mexico and thrive. Clean up your own back yard before you attempt to tell us how to clean up ours.
Maybe Mexico should be working to fix their problems and give their citizens a reason to stay, instead of raising them to be dependant on other countries to survuve?
