JOINING US TO DISCUSS ALL OF THIS AND MORE IS CONSUL GENERAL OF MEXICO IN CHICAGO .

WELCOME TO CHICAGO TONIGHT!

GIVE US A SNAPSHOT OF THE EVENTS PLANNED FOR MEXICAN WEEK.

>> WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO CELEBRATE THIS FOR THE SECOND TIME.

WE BUILD OUR PROGRAM AROUND CINCO DE MAYO BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT CAPTURES THE IMAGINATION OF EVERYBODY.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO ENJOY MEXICAN FOOD AND MEXICAN TRADITIONS.

OUR JALISCO COMMUNITY IS ONE OF THE LARGEST THAT WE HAVE HERE AMONG OUR DIASPORA.

>> SO TELL US SOME OF THE FOODS THAT WILL BE SHOWCASED.

>> THEY ARE PREPARING A SPECIFIC MEAL THAT COMES FROM JALISCO.

YOU CAN GO TO ONE OF THESE STANDS AND ENJOY JALISCO TRADITIONS.

>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU, THIS IS A JOYOUS EVENT COMING AMID ALL THE CONCERN OVER MIGRANTS THAT ARE COMING TO CHICAGO.

THERE IS THE POLICY THAT ALLOWS EXPELLING ASYLUM-SEEKERS AT THE BORDER TO COME TO AN END.

HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO VIEW ALL OF THIS?

>> FOR MANY REASONS IT IS A VERY COMPLEX ISSUE.

GETTING INVOLVED IN FINDING SOLUTIONS, JUST YESTERDAY THEY WENT OVER SOME BASIC POINTS.

WE NEED TO COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS.

>> I SHOULD THROW IN THAT MANY MIGRANTS ARE NOT ORIGINALLY FROM MEXICO.

THEY ARE TRAVELING THROUGH MEXICO.

>> HERE AT THE CONSULATE ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE TEXTBOOKS.

WE ARE TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING IN THIS AREA.

SO TO HELP THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED MANY SCHOOLS WHICH COULD BE A VERY USEFUL TOOL.

IT IS REALLY WELCOME AND A BIG HELP.

>> VERY QUICKLY, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE END OF TITLE 42 WILL CREATE?

>> IT WILL CREATE SOME NOISE.

MANY PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS.

THEY SAY, YOU HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS PUT IN PLACE MANY PROCESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THOSE ASYLUM-SEEKERS CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE IN THE U.S.

SO THEY GO THROUGH THIS ORDEAL TO GET TO THE BORDER.

>> SO NOT JUST MEXICO, BUT ALL CENTRAL AMERICA.

THE ISSUE AT HAND IS MEXICO WEEK, WHICH
