The Mexican consulate in El Paso, Texas is warning illegal aliens who are being amnestied to be careful and not get scammed.

The consulate along with local immigration attorneys and organizations will expand services to inform immigrants on who will qualify for relief from deportation under the new policy....

...The Mexican government welcomes Obama's action on immigration and considered it a recognition of immigrants' contribution to the United States, said Jacob Prado, the consul general of Mexico in El Paso. "They come to work hard and with their work they contribute significantly to the economy, culture and society of the U.S.," he said.

Prado said the Mexican Consulate in El Paso is prepared to assist and guide Mexican immigrants so they have the necessary documents to comply with the application process once the new requirements are made public...
