go to original February 28, 2014

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto shifted his tone on the U.S immigration debate last week, acknowledging that the humanitarian crisis unleashed by thousands of deportations made him feel “indignant.”

When asked by Fusion anchor Leon Krauze if he felt indignant about the “scale of the humanitarian crisis” caused by the deportations, Peña Nieto was unequivocal in his response:

“Yes, it makes me indignant, and it makes Mexicans indignant,” he said. “We lament that this happens and it was a subject that we brought up at the binational summit between the U.S. and Mexico before the North American summit last week in Toluca. It was an issue in which we asked for more collaboration with the government of the United States.”

Peña Nieto added that the U.S. should have passed an immigration reform law that would help 11 million undocumented immigrants living in that country “a long time ago.”
