Immigration "parliament" held in Mexico, with Americans; may lobby in Washington DC

On November 16 and 17 a group of activists from Mexico and the U.S. met in Mexico City for the "First Parliament of Mexican Migrant Leaders Living In The U.S.A.". This doesn't appear to have been an official Mexican government event, but many of those attending were apparently Mexican political leaders, and some of the Americans attending serve on the Institute for Mexicans Abroad (IME, www.ime.gob.mx), an advisory council to Mexico's president.

A roundup with links to Spanish-language sources is here. The event was organized by MX congressman Jose Jacques, who earlier this year met with Congressional Democrats to jointly support "comprehensive immigration reform" (Nancy Pelosi was scheduled but had "scheduling difficulties"). Elvira Arellano spoke and appeared to - surprise - cheat. In this case it was on her hunger strike. While they made a lot of proposals, according to that the one most likely to stick is a "Permanent Parliament" which might meet next year in Washington DC.

And, from this we learn that two attendees were "Rosa Marta Zarate, program coordinator for the San Bernardino nonprofit Librería del Pueblo, and Daniel Morales, of the Riverside-based National Alliance for Human Rights". The latter group is run by Armando Navarro.

According to this, Emma Lozano was also there.

We must understand the only way we as a people can live is to vote for Ron Paul and if the system remove's him we must fight or become a third world hell. Mexico and the third world lovers are using population as a weapon to remove this nation from the earth for hate/race/political reason's, the flag's of evil are on top of the white house and its up to you to remove the flag's of total evil and replace it with the real flag of the USA and the ideals of freedom for all Once more
