Mexican Consulates to Enter Fray
The battle that is being fought in this Country on the issue of illegal immigration is about to get much more complicated. We have heard in recent weeks the President of Mexico stepping up the rhetoric in defense of his citizen’s defiance of our borders; now his government has given Mexican Consulates in the United States the green light to ramp up their defense of illegal immigrants.
The Mexican government is giving its consulates in the U.S. wide latitude to ramp up a campaign to toughen their defense of immigrants and plans to give them more resources as well, officials familiar with the strategy said.

This situation can only elevate tensions in the United States as the immigration issue has become one of the hottest in an already contentious political season. The people of this Country spoke loudly and strongly against the amnesty bill that was camouflaged as comprehensive immigration reform; the pressure they exerted on their elected officials led to the failure of the bill to pass. Earlier this week we saw the video of the establishment in Reno that was flying the Mexican flag ABOVE the American flag (a violation of our laws). The video also showed the veteran who cut the flag down in its defense.
With this action, the Mexican government is taking the battle to a new level; potentially crossing the line that has their consulates meddling in American political processes. Should they be deemed to be actively participating in American politics the consuls them selves could face deportation. Needless to say this would further escalate an increasingly volatile situation. The time has come for the politicians in this Country to step up to the plate and secure the border, make English the official language of the United States, and give employers and law enforcement the tools they need to keep illegal immigrants from being employed in this country.
