“The United States may be divided on the illegal immigration issue, but Mexico is not.
In fact, the issues that sharply split U.S. public opinion don’t provoke much debate at all in the country that supplies most of the immigrants. Just as U.S. commentators seldom discuss how immigration reform might affect the life of ordinary Mexicans, Mexican commentators express little concern about how illegal immigration affects American security or jobs. The debate has not figured in Mexico’s ongoing presidential election, either. The three leading candidates blast each other on a host of issues — but not on the subject of Mexicans living north of the border.
But while the issue is not divisive for Mexicans, it remains important. The Mexican online media does display a broad consensus that Mexicans in the United States, illegal or not, contribute to the well-being of both countries and deserve better treatment. The U.S. immigration debate has been front and center in Mexican coverage for months. When the House passed a bill in December calling for a permanent barrier along the border, Mexican commentators sounded the alarm.”
