' A crackdown against illegal immigrants is roiling Texas and much of the U.S., and its scope and fury haven't been seen in this country in at least 50 years, historians have said.'

Orwellian.

"I hope that Calderón acknowledges the fact that he understands that the U.S. is a sovereign country, just like Mexico is," said Jean Towell, president of Citizens for Immigration Reform in North Texas, which has no plans to protest the IME meeting. "I hope he understands that we have rules and a rule of law, and that he knows better than to tell us how we should apply our own immigration laws."

Anybody know his Freeper name?

"It is his responsibility to visit the Mexican communities abroad," said Dr. Tony Payan, a political scientist at the University of Texas at El Paso. "It is still a Mexican community under siege."

WTF? Mexican community under siege? What about America?

And has been said time and time again, if it were Americans that were going to Mexico for the same reasons, we’d be in their jails.

Big double standard.....

That guy has a lot of balls with relatives in this country that are illegal, to come here and try and bargain for them and the other 20 million illegal wetbacks.

It’s time to run these parasites out on a rail once and for all and jail or heavily fine any employer who puts them to work. If employers would not give them YOBS then their motivation to come here would be seriously hampered.

Calderon needs to stay home and fix his own problems.

If Mexico wasn’t such a shithole, Mexicans wouldn’t have to come to America to find work.

gezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

and this clown graduated from Harvard?

Who took his exams for him? LMAO

“Amid the clapping and cheers when we see the president, there will also be a sense of resentment because the majority of Mexicans I know were people who had no choice but to leave Mexico,” said Mr. Ramírez, 39, a U.S. citizen and advisory board member. “If Bill Gates had started Microsoft in Mexico, he’d still be in the garage 30 years later.”

Mexico doesn’t see that they have any problem. We’ve been taking care of their poor for years. Remember how trendy Mexico was back when we were babies and Carmen Miranda was making movies? Visiting the future upon us...

Mexico's President Felipe Calderón comes to Dallas on Tuesday with bridge-building credentials. He has a Harvard master's degree, English fluency – and relatives who work illegally in the U.S.

I guess that 'Harvard master's degree' didn't help him understand 'ILLEGALLY' work in the U.S. as in BREAKING THE LAW! /s

Try breaking the law in Mexico and she how 'bridge building' he is.

Folks, if he doesn't (or can't) clean up the crap in his own backyard, then it's time for us to officially annex Mexico and make it a part of the US. And put it under strict martial law if necessary. Because of its proximity, its instability poses almost as great a danger to the US and its interests as Saddam Hussein in Iraq did.

‘because, for generations, its politicians have mismanaged the economy.’

Boy, you said a mouthful Felipe! And you’ve been expecting the US to pick up the tab for the last generation.

We’re returning your people along with a bill for their services. Feel free to pay it with your $115 bbl oil revenues.

Calderón is doing more for law and order to deal with problems in Mexico than the past five presdents. (I live and work in Mexico.) I believe in legal immigration. The laws and the communities in the U. S. promote illegal immigration more than they oppose it. Ask any immigration officer.
