Mexico envoy backs U.S. plans but says migration wont stop

“Mexicos new ambassador to the United States, Arturo Sarukhan, expressed support for proposed changes in U.S. immigration policy but said in an interview that even if they win the backing of Congress, waves of immigration will continue because Mexico is failing to provide adequate opportunities for its people.

“Comprehensive immigration starts in Mexico, that is, our ability to generate the jobs and the economic growth that are needed to dampen the causes that push Mexican migrants across the border,” Mr. Sarukhan said in an interview with The Morning News and the Spanish language newspaper Al Dia. “… Even if there was a wildly positive immigration reform tomorrow, that is not going to do the trick of diminishing the migrant flows of Mexicans to the United States.”"
