Mexico’s new ambassador to Washington plans to make a top priority helping Mexicans living in the U.S. to get citizenship to avoid deportation if they commit crimes.

At a press conference last week Ambassador Carlos Manuel Sada Solana said obtaining citizenship “is a very important protection mechanism” for Mexican citizens with legal residence in the U.S. because without citizenship they could still be deported for criminal acts.

“A lot of people think that just because they are legal residents they are not vulnerable to deportation and that’s not the case,” the ambassador said, in remarks later published on a government website.

“Someone, in spite of being a legal resident, if they commit a crime tomorrow, they could be deported,” Sada said. “It’s not that way for someone who has citizenship.”

The new envoy said there could be up to six million undocumented Mexicans living in the U.S.
