Later, speaking to about 50 business executives at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, Mr. Calderón moved smoothly, in English, through a slide presentation of Mexico's improving economy. According to Goldman Sachs, he noted, Mexico will have the world's fifth-largest economy by 2050.

No big surprise there. His people have been illegally siphoning off billions of dollars from the American people for decades.

Mr. Calderón, who has said he has relatives working in the U.S. illegally, drew heavy laughter when he suggested that only after the U.S. overhauls its immigration laws would he reveal their whereabouts. Mr. Calderón is from the central Mexican state of Michoacán, where many families have both legal and illegal relatives in the U.S.

And nobody held him for questioning?

I don't find this funny at all. Start checking cell phone records for any name listed as "Calderon".
