Legal Mexican nationals face problems in U.S.

“When flying out of Omaha to Mexico City Monday, Sioux City Councilman Jim Rixner saw first had some of the problems facing Americans of Mexican descent.

“These were people traveling with children there and I found out about the hard times they have getting time to take off from work in order to be with family members,” he said Friday after arriving home at 2 in the morning.

He and 34 other elected officials from the United States were invited to attend a four-day conference sponsored by the Institute for Mexicans Living Abroad, an agency affiliated with the Mexican government. Rixner was the only public official from Iowa participating in the conference.”
