I keep waiting for someone to defend the U.S. against the persistent, arrogant and insolent attacks by Mexican leaders.

It hasn't happened.

In fact, there's no elected official on any level of government who has spoken up and defended us – the U.S.

I'd like to know why.

There's history to this. An ad in an area paper touting an upcoming lecture series featured their lead speaker, former Mexican President Vicente Fox. He's touted as having done a good job in office including, having "achieved the lowest unemployment rate in all of Latin-America."

When I saw that, I choked on my morning corn flakes, and it took a while to stop laughing.

Of course, lowered unemployment! Why not? He sent multi-millions of his unemployed, poorest citizens to the United States to feed on our social service system and largesse.

Yes, indeed, good old Presidente Fox is in Walnut Creek, Calif., today at the Lesher Center for the Arts.

Given the proximity to the 9/11 anniversary, it's a bit ominous that those open borders señor Fox so loves has enabled potential terrorists, as well as his beloved Mexicans, to have virtual free entrada into our country.

The ad described Fox as having broken the stranglehold of a 70-year, one party control of Mexico. He's called a "charismatic reformer," and credited with democratizing Mexico, "strengthening the country's economy" and "controlling inflation and interest rates."

Then, there's that "lowest unemployment rate" thing.

An article in the paper Sept. 9 said Fox increased voter registration and increased the "net migration rate from Mexico."

Apparently the reporter thought the migration rate out of Mexico was a positive.

Well, it is – for Mexico, and if you needed any further hints as to the lack of political acumen of the people promoting Vicente Fox, the press information goes on to say he supported immigration reform, but no "drastic reform happened during his presidency."

Awwww. Well, they're still trying, now with the help of American liberals, Democrats and some Republicans, including President Bush.

The possessive attitude of Mexico toward the United States didn't begin with the election of Vicente Fox in 2000, but it gained huge traction because of his close friendship with George W. Bush.

In fact, the idea of open borders and free movement of people and trade was in the works and about to be announced by the two men when militant Islam attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Although he didn't like it, President Bush put the plan on the back burner and focused on the war on terrorism.

Back burner, yes, but not forgotten, certainly not by Mexico which didn't support the Iraq War but continued to talk the "good neighbor" line. George Bush continued to listen and consistently was lax in supporting border enforcement.

When legislation began to move in Congress to change immigration law, the president was solidly behind it, denying it was amnesty for the millions of illegals and insulting American citizens who opposed the measure.

Then, although they didn't like it, elected politicians faced the fury of the country, and the measure died – although it isn't forgotten and will be back.

Mexico didn't like it either, and the newly elected Mexican President Felipe Calderon talks as though he's president of the United States. Outspoken and insulting, encouraging treason by legal Mexican immigrants in this country, some might also interpret his words as supporting sedition.

In his first State of the Nation speech last week, he tore into U.S. policies, blasting the measures that he says "persecute and mistreat" Mexican undocumented workers.

No, President Calderon. They're illegal aliens.

On top of that, he calls Americans "insensitive" and "abusive." Calderon believes that essentially, there is no legal border between the countries. He said, "Mexico does not end at its borders" and "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

Such insolence garnered him a standing ovation from ministers, business leaders and dignitaries in the audience.

He vigorously protests our immigration raids, deportations, employer sanctions, fences and indeed, any U.S. border laws.

Consider that Mexicans – legal and illegal – in this country send more than $20-billion a year back to Mexico in remittances, which, with oil revenues, are the first and second sources of income for that country. Add to that the continued exodus of illegals across the U.S. border of nearly a million a year, and the benefits to Mexico are clear: It gains American dollars and gets rid of poor, uneducated, untrained people with their financial drain on the Mexican economy.

No wonder he doesn't like our laws.

But the reality of his words is dangerous. Americans who buy the line that illegals are just "little Mexican farmers who pick lettuce," had better take another look. There really is an effort to erase the border and to give American citizenship rights to illegal, noncitizens.

If Mexicans get away with it, who's next?

The bigger question is where are U.S. elected officials who will defend us and speak out for our rights. Calderon spouted off with insults, criticisms and demands.

The response from our government was, and is, silence.

It's disgusting.

I can't wait to read the reviews of Fox's speech. Northern California will see whether Vicente Fox can lie with a straight face. I doubt he'll elaborate on how he cemented the attitude that Mexicans – any Mexican – has a right to the United States and all its benefits.

As for Felipe Calderon, I have two words, undiplomatic as they might be: Butt out – literally and figuratively – of the United States.

Hasta la vista, baby!
