“This year has witnessed Mexican immigrants waving their home-country flags in rallies across the United States to assert their right to feel welcome on both sides of the border. During this year’s World Cup, Mexican immigrants filled bars and restaurants around the United States to cheer their native country’s national soccer team. Binational pride is swelling, to say the least.

In this same year, Mexico has given its emigrants a chance to live out that pride by voting in today’s election for the next Mexican president. And yet only 36,000 of the 11.6 million Mexican citizens estimated to be living in the United States have even registered to take advantage of their new opportunity.”
