MEXICO, July 4, 2008.- in spite of the fact that the democratic candidate to the presidency, Barack Obama, has not officially announced his trip to Mexico, his half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, contemplates having a private event to obtain funds in Mexico City, on July 22.

The event will be a lunch fundraiser that will cost $250 dollars a plate and dinner costing $1,000 dollars per person that will only be available to American citizens, reports The New York Times.

The two virtual candidates to the White House are trying to obtain the latin American vote through proposals that involve issues such as the construction of the border wall, migration and security.
