the Evil Line

Jorge Buendía reports on a comparison of American attitudes toward Mexican immigrants and Mexican attitudes toward Cental American immigrants [my rough translation from the Spanish]:

Generally, Mexicans reject immigrants as much or more than Americans. For example, only 5% of the population support increasing the immigration of Central Americans to our country (in the United States 17% support more immigration).

The majority of Mexicans, 51%, favor reducing immigration from Central America. In the United States the corresponding percentage is 39.
