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.

She has no say on anything we do here in America. Mexicans have problems here for two reasons: some come here illegally , and some commit crimes .
Send them all to Mexico and build the wall
Wow, glad she told us how to think and behave. I’m sure she is so much smarter than we are?????
No
Bite me.
It’s not racism to not want criminals in your country. Hypocrite. How about tearing down the wall on your southern border before you try to tell us what to do.
No
O K America will follow Mexico’s immigration rules!!
We already have a liberal immigration system in place. What most object to is illegal immigration. No other country tolerates that.
you are the ones with a nice border wall and want a closed off country to others so you must be the racist country and if you over stay your visa it is one year in jail .stop letting these people tell us what to do.
