WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama today symbolically elevated U.S.-Mexico relations to the top of his foreign agenda by staging his first face-to-face meeting with a foreign leader since the election with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Calderon, speaking with reporters in Spanish after the meeting, said, “I’ve proposed to President Obama that we make a strategic alliance of our two governments to confront the common problems and resolve them together, among them security.â€

Calderon just needs to shut his Communist trap!

Sorry about the outburst. Calderon just makes me so darn mad!

The U.S. needs to strategically finish building the fence along the Southern Border and Calderon needs to strategically shut the .....up!

Experts on U.S.-Mexico relations urged Obama to reassure Calderon that his presidential campaign promise to bolster U.S. worker protections under free trade agreements would not force changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement that might imperil Mexico’s exports to the United States, the cornerstone of that nation’s economy.

Bull and horse crap! Nafta is not responsible for their income. It is the remittances from illegals working in this country that is the second largest income producer of their GDP and that has not changed for years. NAFTA is only good for US-based multinationals moving their factories there for cheap labor, leaving the American consumer jobless, so they are no longer able to consume. And the rest of the world relies on us to consume.
While it may make sense to the stockholders of companies deployed all over the world (cheap labor=more profit=more dividends to the stockholder) but it makes no sense when the consumer can no longer consume because of the small problem of income loss.

They are already among us and heavily armed. They are just waitin for the U S Government to drop the ball...

I want to see the wall and I want to see that creep from Mexico stay on the other side with ALL of his people...

THIS JACKASS CALDERON IS JUST AFTER ALL OF THE MONEY THAT HE CAN PROPOSE THAT THE U.S. CAN THROW HIS WAY. THIS COUNTRY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MEXICO'S PROBLEMS. WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS TO WORK THROUGH AND SOLVE. SOME OF WHICH THEIR (MEXICO'S) CITIZENS HAVE HELPED TO CAUSE. ITS HIGH TIME FOR THESE PEOPLE TO STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET AND DO RIGHT BY THEIR CITIZENS. WE CAN NOT TAKE CARE OF THE WORLD. MEXICO IS A COUNTRY OF VAST WEALTH. THEREFORE I DON'T THINK THE U.S. SHOULD GIVE THEM ANYTHING

They can bolster Mexico all they want.. Mexico is a failed narco state and we are tipping over the edge.. you save Mexico, we all fall over the cliff.

It's time for Mexicans to go home and rebuild that country from scratch

Slow down there Calderon, we still have a government process in the US and he aint president yet.

presidential campaign promise to bolster U.S. worker protections under free trade agreements would not force changes to the North American Free Trade Agreement that might imperil Mexico’s exports to the United States, the cornerstone of that nation’s economy.

And what has NAFTA done for us?

The only thing I want to hear from Calderon is that he agrees to pick up the expenses for 20 million of his countrymen that currently leach off the American taxpayer.
