We condemn these acts, but we assume they are isolated. We do not believe that there is a state of violence against Mexican migrants in the border region.
The Mexican state will emerge victorious, but there will still be a long period of conflict that no doubt means the loss of lives of officials involved in the fight.
The recent demonstrations in different places in the United States show the imminent need for an immigration accord that meets the interests of both countries.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke with the Mexican foreign secretary to guarantee that there will be an independent investigation and that they will take the appropriate actions. This seems to us to be an adequate attitude.
A migratory reform that only addresses security will not resolve the bilateral immigration problem. It is indispensable to establish legal, secure and ordered migration. Our countrymen make an enormous contribution to the United States economy.
