Legislators in Mexico City passed a proposal on Thursday to bar presidential candidate Donald Trump from entering the country.
Though the
proposal amounts to a tellingly symbolic gesture, the lawmakers hope the measure will
pressure Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to take a more adamant stand against Trump’s xenophobic rhetoric — including his blanket characterization of Mexican immigrants as ‘rapists and criminals.’
I do not remember Trump making collective statements about Mexicans. He made statements about the collection of murders and rapists along our southern border. Mexican politicians assumed he meant Mexicans, they have a personal bias, from experience I guess.
