...Mexican residents of the United States can vote as absentees in Mexican elections...

I lived in Spain for four years. Voted absentee in every Oregon election I could at that time. The fact that Mexican citizens want to vote in their nation's elections doesn't shock me, and personnally do not consider this a threat against United States sovereignty.

Mexico's Congress is considering...Mexican congressional district encompassing the United States.

This one gives me pause. There are associations, the Phil-Am Society comes to mind, which tries to foster better relations between the U.S. and the Phillipines, and that speak out about issues of concern to foreign nationals in serving in our military or who reside here. But establishing a Mexican congressional district in the United States is a violation of our sovereignty? No. The Mexicans are treading dangerously with this idea.

I fear the Mexican government is treading deliberately with this idea.
