Will it be funded?

Still, it remains unclear how richly the Mexican government will finance its plan. Many Mexican consulates have complained for years about being strapped for resources. In Dallas, the last two Mexican consuls have repeatedly announced plans to shutter their overcrowded offices off Stemmons Freeway for something more spacious.

The Foreign Ministry, in a prepared statement to The News, reiterated its commitment to consulates and said it would move the Dallas office into a larger space. It also said it has approved two more consulate offices, one in Boise, Idaho, and another in Anchorage, Alaska.

Still, other questions remain.

Primitivo Rodríguez, a Mexico City resident who attended the meeting, said he worries that it's too late for the Mexican government to try a new strategy, and many Mexicans may soon be returning to a country unable to provide good-paying jobs.

"There is a tsunami, not a thunderstorm, coming toward us, and I don't think the government has a plan," said Mr. Rodríguez, coordinator of the Coalition for the Political Rights of Mexicans Abroad, which has members in Chicago, Los Angeles and Houston. "What will Mexico do with so many unhappy, desperate people? Mexico is simply not prepared for what's coming next."

He's right. Mexico will have another revolution when we send back its trash. This is why those in power, there and here, are so hell bent on forcing us to give up our birthright. They don't seem to care that forcing their over population on us is just a band aid, and guarantees our inclusion in the violent conflict to come. We can't afford to let them win.
