“yesterday I spoke about the need to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. In the course of those remarks, I described a document signed by all five of Mexico's Presidential candidates in the run-up to this July's Presidential elections in that country, as well as leaders from every major party in Mexico. That document makes clear that leaders on both sides of the border understand that border security is a fundamental necessity. I ask unanimous consent that the document, ``Mexico and the Migration Phenomenon,'' be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Mexico and the Migration Phenomenon In Mexico, as in other countries and regions of the world, migration is a complex and difficult phenomenon to approach. The diverse migration processes of exit, entrance, return and transit of migrants are all present in our country. Given the extent and the characteristics of today's migration phenomenon, which will continue in the immediate future and given the implications that it represents for our country's development, a new vision and a change are necessary in the way Mexican society has approached, thus far, its responsibilities toward the migration phenomenon.…”
