Calderon said he planned to increase the police presence at the border with the hope that it could become the "door to development rather than the door to crime," in a speech at the border town of Tuxta Chico.

What a crock.

Calderon doesn't give a whit about the United States.

Calderon is very concerned about the Guatemalans who don't reach the United States and become "the door to crime" in Mexico.

This is part of the North American Union agreement Bush made with Mexico and Canada on 23 Mar 05. The US is paying for it, and it is only one small part of this under reported plan, well underway, to merge our three countries.

Maybe. Might also be that this is an excuse to move troops into southern Mexico, where there's a near revolt by lefties in the state of Chiapas.

Calderon just wants to make sure that the illegals who get into the United States send money back to Mexico, not Guatemala.

Every Guatemalan who gets through is just stealing an American job from a deserving Mexican. < /almost sarcasm>

Maybe Mexico could build an HOV lane for express routing through Mexico to the US?

It is a crock. Mexico has never wanted illegals coming in from south of their border, yet they won't seal up their northern border.
