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.

I know, they have a wall too on one of their bordrrs
You first$#%&!@* Let’s see you alow your borders to be opened!! See how like FairPlay?
Why must WE embrace immigration when Mexico DOESN’T!
Fucking moron. Why wouldn’t they want to stay in your Mexico?
Go back. Wet back
Worry about that cesspool called Mexico, that place is so great, why in the hell are your people leaving and coming here.
We accept legal immigrants. It’s the illegal aliens who we have a problem with. They don’t respect our country’s laws.
Yuvk
When are these idiots going to stop accusing America of being a racist nation simply because we as a country have every right to guard our borders and deport illegals.
They never call other countries racist for guarding their own borders, and prosecuting illegals in their own countries.
Why do so many Mexicans want to leave your country ?
