And what does the the Mexican government have to say about this ?MEXICO CITY - While Mexican immigrants led the charge in Chicago and other cities Thursday to push the U.S. government to treat illegal immigrants more humanely, the same demands for immigrant rights are festering in Mexico, which is facing mounting international criticism for how it treats Latin American migrants.
In April, diplomats from El Salvador and Honduras formally protested after dozens of their citizens accused Mexican authorities of brutality while they were detained.
That same month, the top UN advocate for migrant rights toured the country and proclaimed that "the impunity with which Mexico victimizes Central American immigrants makes it the principal violator of human rights on the American continent." Here in this photo we have a Mexican Navy soldier who uses a baton to hit an illegal, do we have a case of basic human rights, violations? Mexico and open borders lobby for illegals where is the outrage ? Where is La Raza at ? How is it other people are entering Mexico and finding work ?(While most migrants are en route to the United States, many stay to work as cheap labor, especially in Mexican coffee fields.)http://banderasnews.com/0805/edat-seekin...
