REGISTER A MEXICAN@ TO VOTE A SVREP CAMPAIGN WALLS = WARS The US Mexico Border Is Under Control and Stable The fact is the US-Mexico border is already under control according to US official reports. Numerous laws and appropriations have been enacted over the last 15 years by the US Congress and three Presidents from both parties resulting in construction of 700 miles of wall and quadrupling the border guard to nearly 20,000 members today. Radar and drones are already in use. Help Us Mobilize The Latino/Mexican Vote In 2016 Help us mobilize our power at the ballot box in 2016 and create an enduring political deterrent to anti-immigrant, anti-latin@ policies like the Border Wall in 2017 s immigration reform battles in Washington, DC.
