The Instituto de Mexicanos en el Exterior is accepting applications for three San Antonio positions on its 100-member Consejo Consultivo, a group that advises Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on issues facing Mexican nationals living in the United States and Canada.

The group has access to the highest levels of the Mexican government, meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderón, members of the Mexican congress and its secretaries of state twice a year, says Dr. M. Antonieta Gonzalez, a San Antonio pediatrician currently serving on the group.

Former San Antonio members include Emilio España, Roberto Rosas, Maria Elena Torralva-Alonso, former state Sen. Carlos Truan, Adriana Arzac and Dora Hidalgo.

Consejero positions are open to San Antonians who are native-born Mexican nationals, naturalized Mexicans or U.S. citizens of Mexican descent. Applicants must speak Spanish.

Applications are available on its Web site, www.candidatosccimesatx.com or at the Mexican Consulate, 127 Navarro St.; La Prensa, 318 S. Flores St.; Mi Tierra restaurant at Market Square; Fuerza Unida, 710 New Laredo Hwy.; and UTSA's Mexico Center, 301 S. Frio St., in the Monterey Building of the downtown campus.

Completed applications must be returned to Emilio España, 11765 West Ave., Suite 290, San Antonio, TX 78216.

Deadline is Aug. 29.

A selection committee representing groups such as MATT.org, the Free Trade Alliance, the Federation of Mexican Communities, Fuerza Unida and UTSA's Mexico Center will select the three newconsejeros.

In another project, the San Antonio members are working to identify agencies, churches and groups — both formal and informal — that aid Mexican nationals in San Antonio and Mexico.

Send information to Gonzalez at mantonietagonzalez@usa.net or call (210) 885-3184.

Illegal aiders? How nice.

One of the reasons we are in such trouble in our country, in my opinion, we have too many Mexican agents working in our country who are aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

Great point, but it is not only the Mexicans we have to worry about: every other nation on earth is working surrpetiously against this country to assist their own nationals here and better their countries. Recently heard that China had over 3,500 front companies devoted to stealing every secret and technology they can get their hands on. (It was Lou Dobbs, I think)

I heard the same. These will be the things the new James Bond 007 movies will be made of in the future. What's sad is they will protray us as a bunch of idiots who were too stupid to notice.

I would certainly believe that. I've been seeing more Chinese, who don't speak English, popping up around here, on the West Coast. Maybe they were brought in by the Agriprocessors Human Smuggling Department? We've long been a dumping ground for Canadian drug addicts. Glad we have a water barrier against much of the world. Phillipine and Indonesian pirates would certainly ruin our land.

Of course, Bill Clinton was the biggest friend Chinese espionage had with his Chinagate scandals of providing powerful military technology.

Can't that group just relocate to Mexico? They seem a whole lot more interested in Mexico and all things Mexican; what are they even doing here if they have so little interest in developing and supporting the US?

In other words, only mexicans need apply! What if I am a caucasion American, born and raised in this country who speaks spanish? What are the chances I would be hired for this position?

Also, "native born mexican nationals?" You mean illegal invaders? Something sinister is going on here...

The Institute for Mexicans Abroad is a cabinet-level agency of the Mexican government solely created for the purpose of meddling in U.S. immigration affairs/policy to benefit the 8 million Mexican illegal aliens squatting in our nation. Juan Hernandez, Isabel Garcia and Enrique Morones are just few of the "illustrious" members of the IME.
