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.

We Americans , we don’t have to anything! Does Mexico want our poor or criminal element ? It’s not a matter of race. Mexicans can be white, brown, black or Indian. That doesn’t matter. We just don’t want people here illegally! We don’t need more criminals, or poor or sick people. If people sneak into this country they can bring all sorts of illness with them (most are not vaccinated for anything). Many have poor hygiene and very little education.
Shut up and sit down moron
Nope. You’ve got it wrong! We do not need to do anything different. The migrants do. They need to come here legally and follow our laws.
‘MUST?’ The USA should have laws as strict and unyielding as Mexico has toward potential immigrants. Check your own racist nationalist policies then maybe there could be talk.
LMAO
keep you Mexican politics in mexico we dont tell you what to do do the world a favor and go play on the freeway
They’re your people. Take care if them
Idiot
Maybe you should take care of your own citizens….
Just like Mexico embraces migration from the other central American countries?
