<\/a>The Mexican government, which seems to care very little about poor Mexicans living in Mexico, tends to take extraordinary interest in them once they leave Mexico and settle illegally in the United States. Over the years, the Mexican government, through its 50 consulates across the U.S<\/a>., has been a fierce advocate on behalf of illegal aliens in the U.S. seeking access to taxpayer funded benefits and services.<\/p>\n So, when the Mexican government discovered that some 45 percent of Mexican nationals who are eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (President Obama\u2019s unauthorized amnesty for illegal aliens who claim to have entered the U.S. as minors), have not taken advantage of the program, they decided it was time to take action. The biggest impediment for those who have not sought temporary legal status under DACA appears to be the $465 in fees associated with the issuance of a work permit and collecting fingerprints.<\/p>\n
