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.

No way
No bring your own money when you come I don’t owe you a living
Not likely. The United States is a sovereign nation and immigrants will be welcome on a merit basis.
There is no racism in the desire to have secure borders and be certain that whomever comes into this country does so out of a sincere desire to assimilate and become a productive member of our society. Mexico has a wall on its southern border – why should we not have one on Mexico’s norther border? We cannot be a dumping ground for Mexican criminals like we have been.
We must. You moron. We set the rules, you obey them. The wall is going up. So I advise you to “migrate” to some other country. Build a boat.
GP. I have an idea. Why doesn’t Mexico try to make ifs country a better place to live and maybe so many might not want to leave.
We don’t have to do any such thing…… Drain the swamp ……that’s what we fuckin gotta do…….
We love legal immigration.
No America does not.
Mexico must end its corruption. The politicians need to fix the crime so the people don’t want to leave.
