A protest in the capital Sunday denounced the United States´ treatment of Mexican migrants as racist and decried the high number of migrant deaths

About 250 migrant activists and their supporters marched through the center of Mexico City on Sunday to protest U.S. immigration policy, which they say is racist and deadly.

Shouting "justice for migrants," the demonstrators tore apart a giant paper wall, a symbol of a planned fence along large parts of the United States´ southern border, which the demonstrators say will violate human rights and cause more deaths.

"A migrant dies on the border everyday already," said Ada Omana, a migrant activist who lives in New York City. "With this wall, we are going to see more corpses in the desert."

The protesters chanted "No To The Wall" outside the U.S. Embassy, which was protected by temporary barricades and about 50 police officers in riot gear.

There were no reports of arrests or violence on the march.

Hugo Vadillo, a migrant activist based in Mexico City, said that the Mexican government also needed to revise its immigration policy.

"The Mexican government has to stop discriminating against Central American migrants," Vadillo said. "We need to have free movement of workers in the Americas like there is in Europe."

U.S. authorities estimate that there are about 10 million undocumented migrants working in the United States, about half of whom are Mexican.

"

A migrant dies on the border everyday already," said Ada Omana, a migrant activist who lives in New York City. "With this wall, we are going to see more corpses in the desert."

I have a news flash for you Ms. Omana.
If you stay out of the desert you won't become a corpse in the desert.

This is true. US policy is to not enforce the immigration laws. This is racist because it only increases the number of Hispanic immigrants. It is deadly because Hispanics take stupid risks to double their salary. Personally, I see it as Darwinism in action, but that is another subject.

What an idiot, the fence is going ACROSS the desert, to keep stupid illegal aliens from crossing it and dying. Just like we have fences around swimming pools and electrical transformers, to keep dumb people from killing themselves.

The demonstration, in Mexico, against a border wall, only proves that it's exactly what we need. If they fear it, it's because they know a wall will work.
