End Border Rallies

To eliminate violent confrontations, the border must be seen as a place of encounter and dialogue. One of our missions is to promote a better understanding between the two countries and to avoid actions that produce tension, irritation and friction amongst border region cummunities.

The consulate would like to call on the San Diego community to reject the demonstrations that have been taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border, named “Light Up the Border.”

Our common sense and experience of living in a border area shows us that this kind of demonstration will not help stop the migration phenomenon but rather may provide the fuel for more serious problems.

We hope that the longstanding good will and cooperation shown between San Diego and its Mexican neighbors will continue and not be affected by these isolated incidents.
