Mexican president calls for immigration reform

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mexico's president spoke of the need for U.S. immigration reform on a two-day visit to immigrant-friendly California, saying those who reject diversity and inclusion will ultimately be proven wrong.

"We want to be a factor of cohesion, not division, with full respect for the sovereignty of the United States," President Enrique Pena Nieto said Monday. "This, at the end, is about — and only about — a matter of justice for those who contribute so much to the development of the American society."

Pena Nieto was welcomed by Gov. Jerry Brown, who played up his immigration credentials in a speech that highlighted the close cultural and historical ties they share across borders.

"It wasn't very long ago that the governor of California was outlawing driver's licenses for people who were undocumented from Mexico," Brown said. "That's not the law anymore."

Brown signed a bill into law last year that will enable immigrants to get driver's licenses next year. He said he got the message after a visit to a Monterey artichoke field where the workers yelled "licencia, licencia."

During an upbeat speech embracing the ties between Mexico and California, Brown didn't entirely gloss over a relationship that has, at times, been fraught with tension and he referred to past ethnic problems.

Well, it’s tragic how many Americans take someone’s words at face value, it’s as if they’re puppets, how gullible they are.

The Mexican government has a lot of nerve promoting this crap, after doing NOTHING for years to secure their southern border or enforce the northern border while their “refugees” cross into our country illegally, bringing with them crime, disease, potential terrorists and an increased tax burden on the CITIZENS of the U.S. I can imagine that Dumbo will find a way to push this through via executive action. Bastard.

And Mexico does so well with laws like the cartel problem.

Mexico does not need immigration reform as they deport any illegal caught.

We should Amtrak them all to the Montana/Saskatchewan,Canada border, with instructions for getting Canadian welfare.

To honor NAFTA.

"I don't want these people in Mexico, they're a drain on our society. But trust me, they'll do wonders for yours...really!"

LOL...no doubt that is the strategy.

Reminds me of the pro-amnesty crowd who keep telling us how thrifty, driven, hard-working, and family-oriented all those illegals from Mexico and Central America are. You have to wonder why with all those alleged virtues they haven’t created paradises in their own countries yet.

Gee, Mexico chastises us for not taking enough of their poor, their criminals, and world terrorists just passing through.

You’d think that they’re frustrated that America is actually a nation of Americans.

I think we should reform our immigration laws to look like Mexico’s and then we should enforce them as harshly as Mexico does

Bing-frickin'-go.

If the President of Mexico believes so full heartedly about this then he should propose that Mexico become a territory of the U.S. with a transition period of not less than 5 years and appropriate infrastructure development and elimination of substantial illegal activity being certified before sections of same territory can become states.

He wants us to hand him something then he needs to hand something back.

Mexico has a huge fecund, illiterate underclass that it refuses to support w/ safety nets, even though it has billions in oil riches....so the Mexican president needs someplace to use as a dumping ground for them.....and unfortunately super-rich America is right next door. But why are so many American politicians willing to help Mexico use America as a dumping ground?

Vote-crazed US pols need votes. They are colluding w/ agents of foreign governments to import huge surplus populations, promising of endless freebies....in exchange for votes. Undermining US national security is part and parcel of the deal.

================================================

BACKSTORY The Third World is motivated by envy and greed.....an ancient formula going back to Greco/Roman times: a powerful, thriving bountiful country being overrun by savages, barbarians and thieves lusting after the country's power and riches.

Mexico and Central America have no other aspirations than to confiscate our tax dollars to facilitate armed conflict to takeback the SW and ultimatley overtake America, itself....and they are throwing their savage populations over the border to advance their hidden agenda.

THIS WE KNOW the C/A barbarians figured out that our govt responds to pressure groups---so they are emptying out their villages---driving the savages across the border. The immigration reform pressure groups are being coached by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other violent latino groups, advocating the overthrow of the US government

============================================

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS The Greeks and Romans didn't have the internet, social media, instagram, to fight off invaders.... nor was L/E power available.

DO THIS NOW----CONTACT FBI TIPS PAGE---https://tips.fbi.gov

<><> Taxpayers demand the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, La Raza, and other tax-funded latino groups, be investigated--- supboena official filings, phone records, emails, snail mail copies, hard drives, bank accounts, checking accounts, credit cards, debit cards, wire transfers, social media contacts, and the like.

<><> TAXPAYERS demand to know who they're communicating with, and who is directing their activities.

<><> Taxpayers demand to know which members of these tax-funded groups belong to violent latino organizations advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

No thanks. It's bad having a mini-Mexico in everything but name in most of the US southwest as it is.
