“Mexican immigrants have been wrongly excluded from the immigration reform debate, and building more fence along the U.S.-Mexico border could exacerbate migration problems, said Ruben Beltran, Mexico’s consul general for Los Angeles.

During an interview Wednesday, Beltran blamed the exclusion in part on vocal anti-illegal immigration groups such as the Minutemen, but argued most Americans don’t share their views. He also said Mexico’s position on immigration reform had been unfairly portrayed.”
