SALT LAKE CITY -- A small group of Latino Utah residents wants the president of Mexico to suspend the visas of Mormon missionaries until The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints takes a stronger stand on the immigration issue.

"We have made our position clear on the Utah Compact and on the immigration issue." -LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter
Raúl López-Vargas says he has collected about 100 signatures on a petition that he plans to deliver to the Mexican Consulate of Salt Lake City on Monday. He is calling for Mexican President Felipe Calderón to sit down with the leaders of the LDS Church and ask them to take a concrete position on immigration.

Comment: if they can't play fair, they play dirty. Anyone surprised?
The Mormon Church position should be: obey the law or get out instead of pandering to them. These illegals know that if the Church admonishes its members to obey the laws of the land (One of its core doctrines) then Mexico will kick out all the American missionaries. Again, it's all about Mexican illegals and THEIR wants and needs. Who's fed up with this crap?
In essence, this group is trying to blackmail the Mormon Church.
