Historic Aztlan/Mexico "Encuentro" Draws 568 Leaders
The Mexican Congress has prepared a great welcome at the Hotel del Prado for
the Aztlan activists invited to participate in an unprecedented congressional
session to plan solutions to the growing hostility against Mexican immigrants in
the Untied States.
At 11: 00 AM the delegates from Aztlan are scheduled to participate in a joint session of the Mexican Congress led by the president of the lower house Ruth Zavaleta and the president of the senate Santiago Creel.
The delegates are expected to proposed a series of binational strategies designed to protect Mexican immigrants in the USA from the racist actions of xenophobic Americans. Elvira Arellano, for example, will be proposing that the Mexican government cease all cooperation with the United States in the areas of commerce and security until the immigration issue is resolved by the US Congress. Another proposal is to stop all exports of oil to the US and instead sell it to China.
