The Mexican government correctly denounces US mass roundups of immigrants and lethal border control policies. However, the Mexican government employs US-style tactics on its own border with Guatamala, with beatings and worse apparently beoing commonplace.

This sort of utter hypocrisy led Mexicanos Sin Fronteras to show up at the Mexican embassy demanding that Mexican President Calderon and the government show the same consideration for Central American migrants that they are demanding the US show for Mexican immigrants.

Protesters compared Calderon to Somoza and to Pinochet for the brutality in one chant, and called him a "Republican" in another. At least the staff at the embassy was willing to accept the group's letter, but we'll see if they ever act on it.
