““The government of Mexico will act by all means legally possible to defend the human rights of Mexicans abroad, particularly in the United States,” he said.”
You mean Mexicans ILLEGALLY in the US? The US has veto power in the UN A$$hole!
Oh No! The UN might write a stern letter! Let them TRY to bring blue helmeted troops in! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Mexico doesn’t want its own citizens to come home.
