Mexico Condemns Anti-Immigrant Actions by U.S.

From Borderfire Report:

The "Permanent Commission" of the Mexican Senate "expressed its most energetic repudiation concerning the xenophobic actions materialized in the United States against Mexican emigrants."

A resolution approved by senators of all political parties "also stated its opposition to round-ups and massive deportations of Mexicans carried out by American immigration authorities."

The accord exhorts the Executive Branch to use all diplomatic and consular channels for the purpose of emphasizing protective and defensive activities for those countrymen victims of human rights violations in the neighboring country.

It also condemned the construction by the United States of a fence on the northern border and pointed out that neither fences nor restrictive walls are what is needed to stimulate the integration and cooperation between the two nations.

The legislators stated they were for an "integral migratory reform" which supports a framework of shared responsibility, aids family reunification and preserves human rights and international law.

Frankly, what is meant by "integral migratory reform" is unclear. I think it means elimination of the border and allowing Mexican nationals to roam the United States as they please.

Obviously, the Mexican Senate is not on the same wavelength as the American people who believe a secure border is necessary. In any event, this is barely newsworthy since official pronouncements have previously come out of Mexico denouncing American attempts to slow the flood of illegals. It is worthwhile, though, to know what is in the minds of adversaries.
