Mexican “Migrant Parliament” Deliberates In Mexico City—Next Year In Washington DC!

Memo From Mexico, By Allan Wall

On November 16th and 17th, Mexico City was the scene of a special gathering: the "Primer Parlamento de Líderes Migrantes Mexicanos que Viven en Estados Unidos de America"—"The First Parliament of Mexican Migrant Leaders Living In The U.S.A."

This isn’t the first time these meetings, discussing ways to subvert U.S. immigration policy and increase Mexican political power, have been held in Mexico.

In 2003 Mexican-American state legislators and mayors were invited to the "First Public Awareness Conference for Elected and Appointed Latino Officials" attended by such politicos as California State Senator Gil Cedillo, pusher of drivers’ licenses for illegal aliens, and California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez.

Then, in 2004 there was the "Primer Foro de Reflexión Binacional", which invited such Mexican-American luminaries as University of Texas “Mexican Studies” professor Jose Angel (“we’re going to Latinize this country”) Gutierrez and disgraced Clinton HUD secretary Henry Cisneros.

The recently-held "parliament" however, was composed of Mexican immigrant leaders, 540 of them, who met in the Mexican Congress building. One of the stated goals of the gathering was to make sure immigration is a major topic in the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign.

I think VDARE.COM readers would agree that it should be—but for different reasons than the assembled “parliamentarians” wanted.

The parliament was organized by Mexican congressman Jose Jacques, who boldly declared that "From this parliament will come forth a plan of action for the defense of our migrants and their families, that their rights be respected…"

Jacques, by the way, was first elected to the Mexican congress while residing in the United States, and more recently visited Capitol Hill to meddle in U.S. immigration policy.
