Some immigrants held a protest outside the Mexican Consulate's Midtown office on Wednesday, calling on it to do more to prevent deportations.
Protestors want the consulate to help defend the rights of its citizens. They say Mexico is the leading receiving country of U.S. deportees.
"Many of us are Mexican citizens, and we have seen that our consulate doesn't do enough for us, often times we don't receive the respect that we deserve when we come to do our business with the Mexican Consulate," said protestor Leticia Alanis. "And another very bad experience that we have is now with all the deportations that are going on lately, we don't fee that we get much support from the consulate."
The group is also calling for the public to boycott Western Union. They say the company -- which is the world's largest money transfer agency -- charges high fees, but fails to invest in the communities it profits from.
They may not be legal, but they have quickly learned that claiming victimhood is the way to go.
Yup ~ not what they're there for anyway.
It’s not immigration - it’s an invasion. Get it right!
Oh, BOO FREAKIN’ HOO!
Oh shut up Mexican citizens,we are having enough problems trying to pick a nominee for our next big election.
> charges high fees, but fails to invest in the communities it profits from.
So what?
Rights? Right to violate our laws?
This whole article could be funny but I'm afraid that they have been encouraged to expect the right to violate our laws. Encouraged by the present administration as well as most politicians trying to be the next administration.
It's the entitlement mentality. I blame politicians and journalists who kowtow to anyone claiming victimhood, instead of showing them the door.
Why doesn't Mexico take care of its own people? Why don't the ultra-wealthy Mexican elites help to pay for the health care and education etc of their own poor? Why do they instead encourage their poor to leave Mexico and invade the United States? Nature provides a parallel that is instructive.
Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species. The European Cuckoo, whose distinctive call is immortalized in the sound of the "cuckoo clock," is the bird in which this habit has been most thoroughly studied. Female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host (one of whose eggs is often removed by the cuckoo).
The host may recognize the intruding egg and abandon the nest, or it may incubate and hatch the cuckoo egg. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo. Frequently this is an awesome task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. One of the tragicomic scenes in nature is a pair of small foster parents working like Sisyphus to keep up with the voracious appetite of an outsized young cuckoo.
If they are so proud to be MEXICAN citizens, then they need to get the heck back to mexico!
How about a bull service?
Reverse trafficking for the hand delivery of the money. Make it an axillary arm of the Minute Men? Concerned citizens can ferry the illegals back home across their state or however far they can to donate their time and money to 'move the goods' back to where it belongs?

This is a perfect example why we should never bring suspected combat enemies to the USA. They should stay in Gitmo! Evidently Huckabee doesn’t comprehend this aspect of “immigration” a/k/a entering our Country illegally, breaking our laws.
I guess every illegal will head to the Mexican Embassy where they can enjoy total immunity. The way the Politicians are handling the illegals, they will allow an Embassy City somewhere in the USA.
I Chiwawa, as we use to say as kids.
Yes, oh please boycott Western Union. Put them out of business, then you'll have to rely on the mail to send your money home...Good Luck. LOL.
