    Mexico: We’ll Go to the U.N. to Defend ‘Human Rights’ of Mexicans in U.S.


    (CNSNews.com) – Mexico’s foreign minister says his government will seek the intervention of the United Nations if necessary to defend the human rights of its citizens caught up in the Trump administration’s tough new approach to illegal immigration.

    Speaking on the eve of Thursday’s meetings with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Videgaray said at a meeting with officials from the U.N. human rights office that Mexico “does not have to accept provisions that one government wants unilaterally to impose on another.”

    “The government of Mexico will act by all means legally possible to defend the human rights of Mexicans abroad, particularly in the United States,” he said.

    “The government will not hesitate to go to international organizations beginning with the United Nations to defend, in accordance with international law, human rights, freedoms and due process in favor of Mexicans abroad,” Videgaray added.

    Funny, until ten or so years ago, the Mexican government treated their citizens living north of the Rio
    Bravo as traitors and didn't support them. Then, they've figured out how much of a cash cow they are. So, Mexico City is embracing them.

    Maybe we should change our immigration laws, as they apply to Mexico, to mirror theirs. They would really scream then.

    Yeah. Mexico isn't ready to get the influx of its people they're going to get.

    If we would just stop the ability of the illegals her to open bank accounts, get ID and DL's, Use western Union without a valid ID (Can be regulated) Obtain a utility service, water, lights or gas, without citizenship and cut off the Food Stamp program under the migrant worker act, they would all leave in a day!

    If our police force perpetrates unjust behavior against foreigners, I would hope their government would stand up in opposition to injustice and work to free their citizens and bring them back to the homeland. Foreigners who break the law should be treated justly according to US immigration laws.

    The Mexicans have no intention of taking them back home, no matter how they are treated. It's all about keeping them here.

    You can't force a sovereign nation to keep illegal immigrants within its borders.
