UNITED NATIONS – Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Monday defended the need to protect migrants and noted that "history shows that there are no barriers that can stop the movement of people."
"There are no natural ones or artificial ones. For every river there has always been a bridge, for every obstacle there has always been a road," said Peña Nieto in his address before the U.N. summit on refugees and migrants.
The Mexican president defended the positive role played by migrants in the cultures of the countries to which they travel and emphasized that the international community must improve their situation.
"We have a pending commitment to them that we all must assume, because migration represents not only the past and the present of mankind, but also its future," he insisted.
