The government of the (Mexican) Republic ratifies its commitment to the Mexicans who live in the United States and its intention to work in the defense of their rights ..."
WHAT RIGHTS? They are residing in this country illegally.
Yes, they are in the country illegally, but just wait until the time when they are officially or semi-officially
"sanctioned" as some kind of "special" or provisional "citizens"---then everything they are doing so boldly, and flagrantly now will be done with equally officially "sanctioned" representation, including yet MORE mayors of major cities, yet more law offices finagling for trumped-up "rights", yet more voluble spokesmen appearing anywhere and everywhere, too eager to play the race and ethnic card to a gullible new constituency. The only way to OFFICALLY deal with stridently obnoxious illegals is to deport them, the way it is done in Mexico and other countries. We won't do that , because our politicians ON BOTH SIDES find more of value in pandering to NEW constituencies than the OLD TRADITIONAL ones: there is so little difference between the two parites on this issue , I can only assume they both have a serious , critical eye on that 1%-3% that always sways an election. But it is the 50% that DON'T VOTE that decide our futures, as is proven by the heavily compromised actual policies that finally get voted into law. SOMETHING TO CHEW ON, and it pays to restate it: the 50% that DON"T VOTE actually hold the key to unlocking the true , always-evasive, changing- by -the -second character of American politics. It is the biggest single party of all ---the Apathy Party.
