Here are a few examples:
*Mexican consuls denounce any U.S. law enforcement effort against illegal immigration as biased and inhumane. In one instance after a family was deported back to Mexico, San Diego Consul General Rudolfo Figueroa said, “We feel outraged over the way [the arrest] was handled. This was an act of bad faith.”
*After a police chief in Boston charged a Mexican illegal for criminal trespass—for being in a place without legal authority, Mexican officials went berserk and the Mexican government paid for the defendants’ legal representation. Boston consul general Porfirio Thierry Muñoz Ledo declared the trial “legally invalid, discriminatory and a violation of human rights.”
*In July, the Mexican consul general in New York City, Arturo Sarukhan, lambasted Suffolk County, Long Island, officials for evicting over a hundred illegal aliens whose dangerously overcrowded housing violated fire and safety codes.
