New Mexican envoy to Orange County takes activist role
November 28, 1999
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) -- Orange County's new Mexican envoy knows he could take the traditional, low-key approach of a foreign consul, promoting cross-border trade, untangling bureaucratic snags for Mexicans living here.
But with immigration issues at the forefront of local politics, Miguel Angel Isidro decided that remaining passive is no way to serve the region's Mexican community.
Since taking office Oct. 1, Isidro has met with county officials to address Santa Ana's high pedestrian fatality rate, the rights of day laborers and crimes committed by Mexican nationals against other Mexicans.
He already has persuaded Santa Ana police to post bilingual fliers in city jails so Spanish-speaking inmates are informed of their rights.
And he plans to meet with Anaheim school officials over a proposal to bill foreign countries for the cost of educating illegal immigrants.
