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.

Nothing to do with racism
You might want to worry about your own country since it’s run by the drug cartel oh yeah by the way I would have become a Mexican citizen oh I can’t
Like Hell
Really? So illegal immigrants can continue stealing our money? I don’t think so. Racism? It seems to me that racism has become at least a 2 way street.
Why do so many want to leave Mexico and come to USA?
I’m from Missouri, the show me state. They should show us how too!
Why not fix your own country!
Why is it racism to have immigration laws? Every country has them, including Mexico. SMH
We accept migration legally. And vetted.
F**K you. SGT CLARK U.S.M.C
