Consulates are installations representing a government on the soil of another country. The diplomats of the consulate represent the interests of their country in a foreign land. Consulates have some legitimate functions. When I resided in Mexico, I occasionally traveled to a U.S. consulate in another city and the staff there were very helpful.
The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, an international treaty signed in 1963, spells out the stipulations for consulates and the rights and immunities of diplomatic personnel. Article 55 stipulates that “…
t is the duty of all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities [the diplomats] to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State. They also have a duty not to interfere in the internal affairs of the State.”
So according to Article 55, diplomats have certain privileges and immunities; but they are not to meddle in the internal affairs of the nation in which they are stationed.
In violation of this Convention, however, Mexican diplomats in the United States blatantly meddle in U.S. internal politics. They protect illegal aliens and promote illegal immigration. They campaign against U.S. legislation.
They promote dual citizenship, striving to win the loyalty of Mexican-Americans, even those born in the United States.
Mexico has 52 (!) Mexican consulates on U.S. soil. It’s the biggest consular network in the world. Meddling is official Mexican government policy.
In the 1990s, Mexico changed its nationality policy to permit dual citizenship, specifically so Mexicans could become U.S. citizens and vote in the interests of Mexico. According to Mexican law, any child born to a Mexican anywhere in the world is a potential Mexican citizen.
In 2016, Mexican diplomats actually helped Mexican immigrants in the U.S. to naturalize as American citizens so they could vote against Trump.
This is all totally in the open, and yet almost nobody in the U.S. government complains about it.
