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.

Maybe instead of calling them illegals (what they are) we should use the alternative mane of terrorists.
Why doesn’t Mexico practice what it preaches. It has a border to keep people out. A US marine accidently crossed into Mexico and was put in prison for months. Explain that
Go forth & multiple they self!! Legal entry or no entry!!!
Not illegal Migration.
Hey Mexico, you have no power here! Besides that, it’s immigration law and not one of our of our laws are racist.$#%&!@*off!
Mexico must fix their own damn country and quit expect us to take care of them and their riffraff
MORON! We allow people from all over the world in our country legally every year. We do not want people coming to our country illegally like the thousands of Mexicans crossing annually. Mexico must be a terrible country if so many of their people want to come here! I don’t see thousands of America’s crossing the border illegally to stay in your country!
wanted : Illegal voters, please !
Immigrants need to stop telling us what we need to do,they have no rights here!
No, we don’t have to do anything.
