Norm Coleman, had worked to entice Mexican diplomats to locate in the state's capital city, despite efforts by Minneapolis claiming a large and fast-growing Latino population.Yes, and our "leaders" either believe him or want the rest of us to believe him.
In announcing the opening of the consulate, Kelly acknowledged potentially high-profile controversies over Mexican nationals but said the city would not become actively involved in enforcing federal immigration policy.
Mexican Consul General Carlos Sada said at November's press conference that consulates do not promote illegal immigration or pose national security threats.

What a bunch of crap this issue has become. It's not immigration - it's an invasion. Countless times I've heard Mexican immigrants giddily state that they will conquer America, or subdue the whites, etc, etc. This needs to be stopped!
