Is Mexico Xenophobic?

[kwc57]

Poor Mexico. Poor, poor Mexico. They are dealing with an influx of Asian and African immigrants. Whatever are they going to do?

“"Many of them will have to return to their home countries,” Socorro Flores, undersecretary of Latin America and the Caribbean for the Mexican Foreign Ministry, said to El Universal.

The Mexican government is now trying to deal with this influx of immigrants by setting up shelters and working with the countries of origin of the immigrants on deportations."

You'd think with the millions who have illegally immigrated from Mexico to the US, they would have plenty of space and welcome them with open arms. Surely these people will do the jobs that Mexicans won't do. Besides, its just the right thing to do to let them in and stay. After all, they are humans. Why they won't be a drain on the system at all and will contribute to the economy. Maybe Mexico is just racist.

That can't be right. Why if it was, they would create a group called "La Raza".

I thought perhaps the pro-undocumented worker crowd might speak up, but I guess not. It's hard to defend Mexico's sending folks here when they aren't willing to allow others into their country.

Mexico Is Worried About An Influx Of African And Asian Immigrants

Mexico does two things with illegals; arrest, beat the crap out of them, and then deport them - or if the illegal has the money, send them into the US after a bribe is paid. Mexico is the LAST country on earth to be bitching about how the US treats their citizens.

There are three kinds of pro-illegal advocate scum:

1-the corporate vermin seeking cheap labor

2-the democratic party seeking to buy votes with everyone else's tax dollars (even better since its republicans who pay most of the taxes)

3-far left, self-apponted agitators seeking to increase their power base (think Al Sharpton) by importing large numbers of poor/uneducated who will be dependent upon them to lobby the government (under threat of not voting for the dems) to keep the welfare/handouts flowing.

In a just world, all three would be put to a most painful and deserving horrific death. None of whom will ever respond to a post such as yours, because it undermines and exposes their lies and propaganda completely.

Families fleeing Central American drug violence resettling in Mexico...

More families fleeing Central America resettling in Mexico
Jul 5,`17 -- The armed, masked gang members showed up on a motorcycle at the home in northern Honduras last fall with a stark warning for the occupants: Leave town within 24 hours, or else.

Laura Maria Cruz Martinez, another single mother and the nine kids in their care hurriedly threw clothing and personal items into bags and made for the border before dawn, their home abandoned with the furniture and appliances left in place. Nine months later they're together again in two adjacent apartments in a working-class neighborhood of eastern Mexico City. It hasn't always been easy adjusting to this megalopolis of 20 million-plus, with its crowded subway and unfamiliar, slang-heavy Spanish, but at least they're safe from the gangs rampaging back home. All eleven were recognized as refugees by Mexico in March and granted asylum, making them part of a growing wave of refugees from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala who are resettling here instead of trying to reach the United States, which many see as increasingly hostile.

The rise in refugee resettlement in Mexico has paralleled a decrease in immigration to the United States, with apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol down sharply at the frontier - especially of unaccompanied children and families like Cruz's. Under President Donald Trump, U.S. authorities have sought to ramp up immigration enforcement and decrease the number of refugees. Last week Thomas Homan, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, warned that those who enter the U.S. illegally "should not be comfortable" and "should be concerned that someone is looking for you." "I do think there are fewer people deciding to focus their sights on the United States precisely because it has projected itself as being an unwelcoming country," said Maureen Meyer, a senior associate for Mexico at the Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights-focused organization. After Mexico received 3,424 applications for refugee status in 2015, that rose to 8,794 the following year and applications are already outpacing that this year with 5,464 just from January to May.

Three-year-old Carlita Perez, center, from El Salvador, says grace along with, from left, Honduran siblings Laura, Ruth, and Josue Funez Cruz, and their cousin Emma Karina Cruz, as they sit down to dinner in the two-bedroom apartment the two families share in the Iztapalapa district of Mexico City. The rise in refugee resettlement in Mexico has paralleled a decrease in immigration to the United States, with apprehensions by U.S. Border Patrol down sharply at the frontier, especially of unaccompanied children and families​

Nearly all are people from the so-called Northern Triangle countries of Central America, where street gangs are largely free to terrorize the population and murder rates are some of the world's highest outside of open war zones. The Mexico office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees believes the country could receive 20,000 requests by year's end. "We're talking about entire families, of entire generations ... who arrive at Mexico's southern border," said Francesca Fontanini, regional spokeswoman for the UNHCR. "Obviously, facing this avalanche of people the humanitarian response needs to increase." Belize, Costa Rica and Panama also saw a rise to more than 4,300 refugee applications last year from people fleeing El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Cruz, 40, said the threat against her household came just three hours after they reported to police that gangsters had been harassing her 16-year-old niece in the Chamelecon suburb of San Pedro Sula, which is among the world's five deadliest cities. The last straw came when a gang leader told the girl she was going to become his girlfriend whether she wanted to or not. "We wanted to be far away because of the threat," Cruz Martinez said. So on Oct. 7, with the help of money raised by their pastor, they boarded a 5 a.m. bus to Guatemala. Crossing Mexico and trying to enter the United States, chancing deportation all along the way, seemed unnecessarily risky. "If they sent us back to our country it was certain death," said Emma Karina Cruz Velasquez, the niece. Instead, they turned themselves in to Mexican authorities at the El Ceibo border crossing.
