Her address spoke to the scope of Mexico's migration. With about 10 percent of the Mexican-born population now living in the U.S., Mexican immigrants have demanded and won representation in the lower house of the Mexican Congress.

People who serve in a governmental position in a foreign government should lose their U.S. citizenship.

"I am only focused on migration," said Maria Dolores González, who two years ago was a Dallas homeowner and a border customs broker and now is a federal congresswoman in Mexico.

OK, I'm a little confused here. Is or was this woman a US Citizen, and if so, how did she get elected or appointed as a federal position in Mexico?

Or was she an illegal invader living in the US and then went back to Mexico and was appointed as a citizen of Mexcio.

Regardless, this shows how serious this situation is when the two countries have governments that are intimately connected with each other.

"It shows his concern for the $23 billion that is sent back to Mexico each year," he said, referring to the flow of money known as remittances that immigrants send back to their homeland. "It is almost as though he has more concern for the Mexicans living abroad than he does for those who live in Mexico."

The central Mexican state of Zacatecas, once a power in mining, is mostly known for its migrants. Ms. González estimated that 55 percent of the state is now in the U.S.

These statements say it all! It's all about money. And shouldn't the fact that 55% of a Mexican state leaving Mexico tell them something....and tell US something? SECURE THE BORDERS NOW
