A senior Mexican senator and former foreign affairs minister yesterday called Canada's visa controls on Mexico a humiliation and questioned whether Canadian-Mexican relations will improve as long as Stephen Harper is Prime Minister.
In a blunt speech to a Toronto business and academic gathering, Senator Rosario Green Macias detailed the information she was required to provide to the Canadian government to enter Canada – proof of property ownership, her last six bank statements, a letter from the Mexican senate stating she is a senator and personal information about other members of her family.
“That has to stop,” said Ms. Green, who is president of the external relations commission of Mexico's senate, an academic, a former secretary-general of Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and a one-time senior United Nations official as well as diplomat and cabinet minister.
She wore a silk scarf with a Mountie emblem, a gift from her daughter who attended private school in Quebec's Eastern Townships.
She repeatedly told her audience that the Mexican-Canada relationship is troubled. Twice she used the word “humiliating” to describe Canada's visa controls, linking them to the wall – which she also called a humiliation – that the United States is building along the U.S.-Mexican border to keep out illegal migrant Mexicans.
Later, talking to journalists, she said the relationship will improve “when you change prime ministers,” then realized what she'd said and asked not to be quoted.
The two journalists who heard her did not give her that assurance and Ms. Green did not press her request.
Canada imposed visa requirements on Mexicans in July after a huge upsurge in the number of Mexicans arriving in Canada and claiming refugee status.

Mexicans just hat it when they get slapped with mexican laws away from home...
Mexico wants to do to Canada what it’s done to the United States.
After all, wasn't Canada stolen from Mexico?
TRANSLATION:
Canada not gonna be an easy mark for the “refugee” ploy anymore. They’ve been cracking down as of late. Canada doesn’t want to end up like the US Southwest.
If only the US would get a backbone.
How dare the Canadians try to protect their border! < / sarcasm off >
What an f”ing bunch of hypocrites Mexicans are. This is perhaps the one single reason I hate them. A corrupt cess-pool of a nation that feels it has a God-given right, a veritable mandate to screw up the land God gave them and not content with that, illegally enter, nay, invade someones else (ours, for instance) and then b!tch about the host country from taking objection to this and enforcing its immigration laws, as every country has a right to do. We should adopts Mexicos immigration laws. Fix your own damn country mexico and come to someone elses legally.
And so the chattering campaign begins against another victim nation that the Mexican oligarchy has targeted for control.
The bullying and whining is just getting started. Anyone with the guts to tell these creeps where to go will experience the name calling, finger pointing and protests next.
Lucky for Canada they don't have a border with this nation of criminals, but don't worry. They will stage protests from the U.S. side soon since they know that no one will stop them.
The Canadians should hold the line.
The Mexican government is humiliating to the Mexicans.
Of course, the Obamaloon government is humiliating to anyone with a measurable IQ.
Maybe if Mexico was a real country instead of a soft tyranny, people might take what Mexicans say seriously.
Hey I got an idea, why don’t we try freedom for Mexicans in Mexico.
Since when do Mexicans need visas?
Hmmm. Canada is starting to look better every day. Of course, that could change at the next election.
Shouldn’t that be, “Is it really that hard to think for yourself SENORA SENATOR?” (Sorry, I don’t know how to do html and provide italics.)
And the answer is, “Probably not. How can you think in a country that starts its day with menudo?”
I can’t remember when I had any respect for Mexico. The national symbol of that country should be the locust.

Well said! Mexico’s visa requirements are stricter than Canada.

#Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally.” (Article 123)
# Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
# Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be deported. (Article 126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:
# A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)
# Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
There’s LOTS of other stuff, too. Like any Mexican person is DEPUTIZED to arrest a person they SUSPECT is an illegal alien.
Also there are numerous jobs a person cannot do in Mexico, unless he/she was BORN there; ship captain, priest...many others...
Let’s look at a stanza from the Mexican NATIONAL ANTHEM:
But if some strange enemy should dare
to profane your ground with his step,
think, oh beloved country,
that heaven has given you a soldier in every son.
