Democratic lawmakers traveled to Mexico City this weekend to attend an anti-American summit, and several of the lawmakers made derogatory remarks about the United States.<\/p>\n

Illinois Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez made one of the most provocative remarks when she declared, \u201cI\u2019m a proud Guatemalan before I\u2019m an American.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramirez, whose parents immigrated from Guatemala, represents parts of Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. She went on to criticize the United States as being \u201caddicted to war\u201d and driven by \u201cimperialism, militarization, conquest, control, and competition in its pursuit of dominance.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to her official\u00a0website<\/a>, Ramirez\u2019s husband is living in the U.S. without legal status, and she identifies as the only member of Congress in a \u201cmixed-status marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

The summit was organized by the head of Progressive International, a far-left group that calls capitalism a \u201cvirus\u201d needing to be \u201ceradicated,\u201d in collaboration with Morena, Mexico\u2019s ruling leftist party.<\/p>\n
