The Mexican government, through it’s consulate in Anchorage, has issued a statement regarding President Barack Obama’s announcement regarding deferred action on illegal immigrants. Senor Javier Abud is Anchorage’s Mexican consul. He says the Mexican government welcomes the announcement.
“Why, because some studies show more than fifty percent of undocumented people in the US are of Mexican origin. And we are talking about more than 11 million in total,” Abud said on Friday.
Senor Abud says the Mexican consulate is preparing to help those undocumented immigrants in Alaska who may benefit from Obama’s announcement.
Abud says, according to the Pew Hispanic Center studies, there are an estimated 1,800 undocumented Mexicans in Alaska.
