Mexican President Calderone in Washington to whine about immigration law

We welcome our overlord from South of the Border - er, I mean South of what we used to think as the border but is not recognized as such even by our own government:

He has been frank in his condemnation of the Arizona law, however, saying it "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement" and noting that the U.S. economy was built with a lot of Mexican sweat, legal and not.

In remarks to Spain's El Pais newspaper Friday, he asserted that the law is creating tensions between the two countries.

In Mexico, the political class from right to left has closed ranks to deplore the Arizona measure, which has dominated front pages and TV news here. Elected officials from the three major parties are exhorting Calderón to challenge it in Washington, where on Wednesday he will be greeted with pomp and ceremony at the White House and feted with high-end Mexican fusion food at a state dinner, and will address a joint session of Congress.

But the atmosphere might be a little strained.

The Mexican Embassy in Washington is preparing amicus briefs to support lawsuits by civil rights groups seeking repeal of the measure. The head of Mexico's National Human Rights Commission declared the law "xenophobic." Mexican universities said they would suspend student-exchange programs involving Arizona. And cartoonists here have had a field day depicting an Arizona without Mexicans, where U.S. citizens are forced to cook their own food, cut their lawns, pick their crops and care for their children.

I daresay that if Mexicans - illegal or otherwise - disappeared from America tomorrow, life would most assuredly go on and Americans who are unemployed would take most of those jobs if competitive wages would be offered. This can't happen when illegals are willing to work for less than minimum wage.

Note: The American worker is the most productive worker in the history of human civilization. Our productivity rate is far beyond any other industrialized country and continues to rise. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/09/ ... 8735.shtml

I don't think Mexican cartoonists get it, do you?

It's truly remarkable how out of touch the Mexican government is with where it stands in our country, so much so that they are taking actions that will completely alienate Americans from even wanting to be friendly allies. In fact the Mexicans are so out of touch they don't realize most of the Mexican Americans don't want anything to do with Mexico.

They're in for a very rude awakening.

I think this is about Mexico's middle class worried we may send their poor home and they would have to support them instead of the American Middle class taxpayer

What crap....I sure hope Republicans stand up for the American tzx payer and our right to our sovereignty.

Correct. If US citizens don't have "standing" in our courts, then surely foreign governments wouldn't. Under international law and treaties they would have claims just as we have claims in their countries under international law. But not on domestic law issues.

This will back-fire on Mexico. In fact, everything they're doing is back-firing and everything all these illegal alien advocacies are doing is back-firing on them.

By the way: The Lakers are beating the crap out of the "Los Suns", 19 point lead, 4th quarter. I hope the Lakers end this round with a 4 game shut-out. I'm an Orlando fan, so as much as I would have otherwise preferred the "Los Suns" to beat the Lakers because I think they would have been an easier opponent for the Magic, no way. You go LA Lakers, business sports professionals who decided to stay out of the "immigration debate".
