Mexicans to patrol Staten Island to protect Mexicans?

A construction worker in Staten Island was attacked and robbed in what is being described as a "bias attack".
His attackers allegedly made statements about his ethnic appearance as they attacked him and stole his backpack (how do you know someone's ethnicity in a city as diverse as Staten Island?).
Mexican consular officials have sated that they will have consular employees patrolling the area in order to protect the "Mexican residents" in the area.

Why weren't we told the ethnicity of his attackers?
Could the untold story be that a few people are taking advantage of current ethnic tensions to excuse their criminal behavior?

Hey!
I Have an idea!
Let's have American government officials patrol the streets of Mexican cities anytime we believe that an American has been a victim of "bias attacks".
I'm sure Mexico's citizens and government will have no "problemo" with that.
