PRO & ANTI Latino America Immigration

At last Wednesday, 3rd March, there is an article posted on Center for Immigration Studies, it called Calderon's Latin American Initiative: A Few Concerns. Calderon is the President of Mexico. He and Jorge Bustamante (Mexican immigration scholar), they made speech. Bustamante states, "I'm not against seeking a Latin American brotherhood, but I am against confusing facts with sentiments." He notes that "millions of Mexican citizens live in the United States in conditions that require our attention and active solidarity. From them we receive our second largest source of foreign currency, which sustains the national economy." Bustamante goes on to say that Mexicans "can't afford to exclude from regional alliances the country with which we have our largest border" and a major economic relationship. He says that to make such observations is to be "neither pro-gringo nor anti-Latin American. These are simply facts of our reality, which the president of Mexico does not seem to be recognizing." Bustamante and the President of Mexico seem not happy with immigrants move into the United States. For the reason as I understand is if there are more and more people go to America, then there will be less and less people living and working in their native country. However, I think they should not complain that much, they should consider how to change the national policies, make their own country is better and more people stay.

There is another article also talk about PRO Latin American Immigration. http://immigration.change.org/blog/view/uslatin_american_relations_and_migration

For the ANTI Latin American Immigration could be both side. It could be one side of Hispanic and the other side could be the United States. For example, Mexico has a policy called "Southern Plan". “Plan Sur” (Southern Plan), announced by the Mexican government [on June 19], may already be underway. Over a period of 15 days, starting on June 4, the southern border of Mexico was the stage for a large-scale police action that resulted in more than 6,000 deportations of illegal aliens to Guatemala from Mexico and 3,000 Central Americans located in Guatemala back to the borders of Nicaragua, El Salvador, and neighboring countries. This is only the example. The other Spanish-speaking countries may also have the policies like this---encouraged people go to other Hispanic countries but not the United States.
