Another article covering the same story:
President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying "Mexico does not end at its borders."He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

Socialists always tend to be greedy hypocrits. How about "The US does not end at its borders." RIGHT! What, you don't like that Flippy?

Why do we seem to live in an age that gives us a never ending supply of crap politicians?????????????????????????????????
