Mexicans’ protest offensive

I lived 16 years in Mexico. We have two children born in Mexico and carry Mexican passports.

I cannot believe that hundreds of illegal Mexicans can demonstrate against a U.S. presidential candidate, wave Mexican flags and break U.S. laws without any U.S. government action against them.

If I had done the same thing in Mexico City, I would have been deported the next day.
