Central America Rejects U.S. Border Plan

(Mexico City) This story should be filed in the "Cajones el grande" cabinet.

From Xinhuanet.com:
The foreign ministers of Central American countries rejected a U.S. anti-immigrant plan in a joint declaration issued on Monday.

Foreign ministers from Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala and other Central American countries held a meeting Monday to findways to defend the rights of migrants who travel to the United States seeking jobs.

"Migrants, regardless of their status, are not and should not be treated like criminals," the declaration said.

The U.S. House of Representatives approved a plan on Dec. 16, which would extend a frontier wall with Mexico by a further 1,200 km, increase the number of agents on the border, and send undocumented workers to prison instead of merely deporting them.
There's no shortage of illegals crossing the border and there's no shortage of arrogant oligarchs pushing them across.
