El embajador De Icaza propone a EU asociación binacional en la materia
WASHINGTON.- El embajador de México en Washington, Carlos de Icaza, propuso ayer una asociación binacional para lograr flujos migratorios legales y ordenados. Sin embargo, críticos de la inmigración indocumentada dijeron que primero es necesario que Estados Unidos controle sus fronteras.
