Farmers' union blocks Ferromex and KSCM tracks (Protesting government support of immigrants)
MEXLIST ^ | August 8, 2019 | LG McManus

Today, a Mexican farmers' union blockaded Ferromex tracks at Las Delicias and at Jiménez in the state of Chihuahua. Both locations are between Ciudad Juárez and Torreón.

Similarly, the same organization has blockaded KCSM tracks on both the Acámbaro and Caltzontzin Districts on the line between Querétaro and Lázaro Cárdenas.

Rail traffic is stopped on both lines. The same union blockaded Ferromex in the same general areas for over a month approximately one year ago. It now says that it has plans to blockade highways and seaports throughout Mexico. According to banners displayed at the rail blockages, the union opposes the Mexican government's giving asylum, benefits, and employment permits to Central Americans. The union believes that such benefits and employment should be reserved for Mexican nationals.

Haven't seen this anywhere on the news. It appears the Mexican workers aren't happy with the illegals getting benefits reserved to Mexican citizens.

Both Canada and Mexico have had to face the reality of illegal immigration over the last couple of years.

LMAO...

Wonder, if we can trade our liberal congressits, mediots and those who love illegals from Mexico for some of these people.

Mexico has similar laws to the U S on labor and immigrants. The enforcement was not enacted before. Our laws don’t work because the multitudes that hire without work permits or known counterfeit ones are not fined.

You can look it up. Despite having 15 million fewer people, Mexico’s economy is almost as big as Russia’s. Without looking I’m going to assume that Mexico doesn’t fork out as much money on it’s military as Russia does. Remarkable if you think about it.

So the Mexican government is basically the Democrat leadership. And the New World Order finds out, once again, it's not as popular as it hoped it was.

They can go blank themselves! Of course with the marxists in the U.S., Mexican illegals have every right to be here, since we “stole” the country from them.

Are Mexicans native to Mexico or did they come from Spain? I’m confused?-)

The Spanish discovered Mexico through Queen Isabella’s sponsorship of Columbus. They conquered Mexico and gave them their language. Most Mexicans are either indigenous Indians, descended from Spanish settlers or both.

The “elite” in Mexico are mostly descendants of the original Spanish conquerers. Mexico has had only one Native Mexican as President in the last few centuries.

Yep - could have been written by O. Henry or one of the other satirists...
