Mexico is beefing up its consulates here in the States to better serve its citizens, many of whom reside in America illegally.

As the consulate that opened last month in Little Rock illustrates, the Mexican government is following its citizens far from the border into the growing quarters of Latino migration, much of it illegal.

Since 2000, consulates have opened in places where immigration from Mexico has soared, including St. Paul; Indianapolis; Kansas City, Mo.; Omaha and Raleigh, N.C.

I guess you just have to go where your citizens are.
