The measures come as Hispanic communities, including documented and undocumented Mexican immigrants, have expressed concern over an uptick in racially motivated attacks in the week since Donald Trump's election.

Mexican government launches plan to protect immigrants

Mexico: your people here in the US legally ain't the problem; it's the illegals we want OUT. Kinda like how your country wants even Guatemalans there illegally gone.

No one but the truly ignorant has a problem with those who follow the laws and rules of the land.
If you want to come to America there has always been laws to adhere to but up until now the enforcement of those laws have been somewhat lacking.

MSN?

I thought nothing they reported is supposed to be true. Don't you have something from Breitbart or InfoWars?

I have an idea.

Let's MAGA to the max by repealing every immigration statute except this one, written and passed by the Founders.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natura...on_Act_of_1790

If that's too "liberal", we could go back to the Naturalization Act of 1795

For the really strict ones among you, how about the Act of 1798?

Exactly.

We already have a path to citizenship. Those coming here legally have nothing to worry about. Illegal aliens are another story.

Often the lines between legal and illegal are blurred and it's on purpose. That's why Mexico calls them all plain ole "immigrants".

And for those of you who think hostile policies towards immigrants might be good for the economy.

This is the "Illegal immigration" forum. Legal aliens ain't the problem cause if told they need to go home; they go home. Period.

Sneaking into a country without legal permission is not "immigrating", nor is it "migration". It is uncontrolled, unbridled invasion. And that is the real problem.

The Mexican Government likes the fact that we are taking in their poor and uneducated so that we can pay for them - and they don't have to (and yes, Mexican gangs are getting in as well).

I don't blame those that come, and I know many work hard and are good people. But there has to be a process, mainly for the protection of our country and our citizens. We have good laws and processes in place, but we do not follow them. It we followed them, we wouldn't even need a stupid wall. There are not just economic, but health concerns with people crossing our borders in secret. The number one job of our Nation's President and leaders is the protection of this country and it's CITIZENS. The last few administrations have failed miserably and it's unconscionable.
