    Mexico opens legal aid centers at dozens of US consulates

    Mexico opens legal aid centers at dozens of US consulates

    03/04/17 09:24 PM EST



    The Mexican government has opened legal assistance centers at its 50 consulates in the U.S. amid fears of a crackdown on undocumented immigrants by the Trump administration, Reuters reported Saturday.

    "We are not promoting illegality," Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray said during an event at the Mexican consulate in New York, according to a video cited by Reuters.

    "Today we are facing a situation that can paradoxically represent an opportunity, when suddenly a government wants to apply the law more severely," he added.

    The decision to open new legal aid centers comes in the wake of President Trump's push for tougher enforcement of U.S. immigration and deportation policies.

    Last month, federal authorities conducted numerous raids around the country arresting and detaining hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants.
    But critics have blasted the Trump administration's moves, with various communities pushing back on attempts to deport those who have been living in the U.S. and pledging to help immigrants avoid deportation.

    Several religious leaders in California reacted to the change in policy by forming an underground network of homes with the aim of giving shelter to hundreds and potentially thousands of immigrants.

    "It is becoming more than evident that to apply the law, which is the obligation of any state, would also imply a real economic damage to this country which highlights the need for immigration reform, an immigration reform that resolves once and for all the legal status of the people," Videgaray argued Saturday.

    Oh don't worry, we're going to resolve the legal status of the people, we're sending them home to their legal country where they belong.

    Wouldn't you think if a foreign government interfered with the legal operation of this country the consulates should be shut down?

    They aren't just going to be aiding their citizens - they are going to be ambushing and clogging the system.

    The idiocy of this is they are admitting they are Mexican citizens here illegally.

    We should close all Mexican consulates in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Illinois and New York. Start there and see if things improve. It just might make a positive difference on this issue.

    $50 million? LOL a drop in the bucket right into the pockets of corrupt Lawyers! That will last one week.

    They should use it to build new villages on their Federal Land and put their ILLEGALS to work building a law abiding city on THEIR soil.

    That money would go far doing this. Mexico is NOT our friend...nor are the they friends to their own citizens.

    Go back, wave your Flag and protest on your soil. Why do you let your own Government human traffic and exploit you and BAN you from your own Country? Wake up Mexican's...take over your OWN soil.

    You have been sold down the river. No one to blame but yourselves...now you will be deported with nothing. You came with nothing...you will go with nothing. Time to fight for your rights in your countries.
