Mexican consulates in the U.S. are hosting citizenship clinics across the country, hoping to convince permanent residents from Mexico to become U.S. citizens so they can vote against Donald Trump.
The pious declaration from the Mexican government that they are not "interfering" in the U.S. election fails the smell test.
From Bloomberg:
Joel Diaz doesn’t want to wait to see how it all turns out. The Mexican-American, who has been a permanent resident of the U.S. for six years, arrived at the Mexican consulate in Chicago on Saturday with his wife and four adult sons to register all of them as U.S. citizens in order to vote against Trump.
"We’re very worried," Diaz, 47, an evangelical pastor, said. "If he wins there will be a lot of damage against a lot of people here, and to us as Hispanics, as Mexicans."
Laura Espinosa, deputy consul in Mexico’s consulate in Las Vegas, said the main goal of the program is citizenship, and while that includes the right to vote, the government doesn’t press people to do so. "Those who use this to vote, that’s up to each individual," said Espinosa, who confirmed that most consulates have begun citizenship campaigns. "We don’t have any opinion on that, because that would be totally interfering in internal affairs of the country."
The government in Mexico City is holding off on engaging the Trump campaign directly until he becomes the nominee, said Francisco Guzman, chief of staff to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. Speaking with reporters on March 1, Guzman said the government plans to communicate with the campaigns of the nominees once they’re chosen and try to dispel what it considers misinformation about Mexico and Mexicans.

Apparently so they can immediately commit treason by voting for the interests of the nation of Mexico. Nice.
This could be prosecuted as wire-fraud, govt fraud, ID theft, money laundering and tax evasion..
Prolly Mexico also gets a fee for letting other countries use their border as a gathering place to slither into the US.
Yet unresolved is:
<><> when Mexico should be hauled before the Hague Criminal Court for failing its sworn duty to its citizens on US soil;
<><> the scope and dimension of intl crimes committed by Mexico for dumping it citizens into the US to drain our welfare resources,
<><> when US courts prosecute Mexico for aiding and abetting criminal activities on US soil, and,
<><> the amt of reparations Mexico should pay Americans for forcing us to subsidize its citizens.
===========================================
Trump accurately tells Americans oil-rich Mexico is ripping us off royally......and is pocketing billions from deal after deal. This is in addition to millions in US foreign aid to help them w/ then the drug cartel problem.
One day the Narcos will have all of their heads on pikes, the Mexicans’ ‘Day of Reckoning’ is coming.
SNIP---My bill is simple: If the person wiring money to Mexico is here legally, great. If he can’t prove legal status, then he gets slapped with a fee which goes directly to border security and enforcement. This would cause two separate effects, both very positive.
On one side of the coin, GAO estimates that my bill could bring in up to $1 billion from illegal immigrants that would go directly towards border security and enforcement.
On the flip side, the report shows it may discourage illegal immigrants from sending the money in the first place. If that dynamic occurs, it would likely lower the amount of revenue raised for border security, but illegal immigration would be strongly discouraged and the money would stay in the U.S. economy.
We have noted this exact process is already in place for remittances sent to Cuba. Anyone sending money to Cuba is required to fill out a Cuban Remittance Affidavit form, verifying who the sender is (with ID) and specifying who the recipient is.
Previously we shared a recent discovery that remittances to Mexico, from the U.S., now account for almost $25 billion annually (year 2015), and actually exceed the entire revenue generated by the Mexican Oil industry. Yes, this means more U.S. dollars are sent to Mexico by Mexican citizens working in the U.S. than the Mexican economy generates itself internally – as measured by their energy sector GDP.
As a specific and direct consequence this means Mexico is now more economically dependent than ever on the U.S. This is the leverage candidate Donald Trump describes to get the Mexican government to pay for the Southern Border Security Wall.
If you take a more modest figure of $25 billion annually, and if the U.S. were to impose a 4% transfer fee on Mexican remittances, the revenue generated would also be $1 Billion per year. Over 10 years (budgetary timeline) that would be $10 billion, which is the currently estimated cost of the 1,000 mile wall.
A sworn affidavit by Mexico consul general to a Texas court admits that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system......declaring that Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.
This explosive document filed in Texas by the government of Mexico adds fuel to the debate touched off by Donald Trump.
THE MONEY QUOTE A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.
A sworn affidavit by Mexicos consul general admits that Mexicos official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system......declaring that Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing.
The Mexican consuls sworn testimony asserts that: My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to nationals abroad.
Ergo, Mexicos assertion of continuing jurisdiction over its nationals abroad is inconsistent with any claim to automatic US citizenship merely by reason of birth on US soil.
Maybe the Wall should be gold plated...
PING
The OP is certainly living up to her name this morning.

Mexico is going to make a huge mistake campaign actively against Trump. They’ve already got 90% of the Hispanic vote locked up and campaigning against Trump on getting the other temperature sent, it will just piss off every American beyond believe Mexico is going to make a huge mistake if it thinks it campaign actively against Trump. They’ve already got 90% of the Hispanic vote locked up and campaigning against Trump won’t get in the other temperature sent, it will just piss off every American beyond believe.
My advice to whomever is currently running that shit hole of corruption would be to shut up. Unless they’re happy with Trump actively campaigning for the overthrow of the government in Mexico.
The Mexican government has been the leader of the invasion of immigrants, to the USA, for years.
They distribute pamphlets/instructions on how to get here, who to see first for all of the *entitlements*, etc.
They fear Trump as much as the GOPe/Uniparty does.
Mexico sucks!
Just like Trump has been suggesting.
They have to go back.
Trump was asked about this during his last press conference. He said to the reporter “I don’t blame him. If I were he, I’d be doing the same thing.” LOL don’t you just love it? So far above the field, persons below seem like ants.
There is not enough time for them to go through the naturalization process. For most people it takes up to a year after you meet the five year residency requirement.
