More about that committee:
The National Development Plan 1995-2000 establishes that "the Mexican Nation extends beyond the territory contained within its borders"; this concept defines in essence the Program for Mexican Communities Abroad as a priority project of the foreign policy of the Government of the Republic.
Faced with this scenario, the work that Mexico carries out in favor of the Mexican communities within the United States acquires new importance because it constitutes an institutional answer to their educational, cultural, recreational and health care demands.

(Strange the interest they have in these people in THIS country but yet you see them letting them live in horrid conditions in Mexico ---maybe because here they can demand American taxpayer money?)
