Mexican president says vote 'a grave error'

President Felipe Calderon of Mexico reacted sourly to news of the Senate's rejection of the proposed immigration law overhaul, calling the senators' action "a grave error."

"It's a grave mistake first because it's a problem that's not being confronted, and with this evasive action the U.S. Senate is making it worse," Calderon told reporters in Mexico City during a joint news conference with President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who is finishing a two-day visit to the Mexican capital.

"Secondly, because to close the door on legal immigration, the only thing the Senate does is open the door to illegal immigration" the Mexican president said, according to an account published by the newspaper Reforma on its Web page.

Calderon repeated his "repudiation and rejection" of plans to build a wall along much of the U.S.-Mexico border.

More than a tenth of Mexico's 103 million people are estimated to live in the United States, many of them illegally. Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans, and others from Central America, continue to cross the border every year illegally in search of work.

Mexico's emigrants last year sent nearly $25 billion home to family members. That money has become an important anchor in many rural communities and poor metropolitan neighborhoods.

Ortega, a one-time Marxist president of Nicaragua following that country's 1970s leftist revolution against a U.S.-backed dictator, was in Mexico City to strengthen ties with Mexico and also to visit the shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe.

The Nicaraguan president had vowed to visit the shrine if he won election this year, which he did, returning to power 17 years after being voted out of office.

Hey you SCUM BAG, WHY DONT YOU FIX YOUR COUNTRY SO THAT THESE ILLEGAL PEOPLE DONT HAVE TO RISK THEIR LIVES TO COME HERE.

YOU PIECE OF SH..!!

A good reason to send the meixcans home. So we will not have to listen to any more Mexican presidents.

You would think the 20-30 million here would want to fix their own country. Instead of running! I would think that would be a good start! Instead of sucking off the American taxpayers.

Calderon" It's a grave mistake because the problem is not being confronted"
Yes sir, you are right on the statement...the problem is not being confronted on YOUR END....OPEN UP YOUR MARTKETS AND START TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN PEOPLE! :evil:

He needs to STFU and start devising a plan to fix his messhole of a country. Once BOOSH is impeached or his term ends whichever one comes first, they are going to be in deep pooh trying to figure out what to do when all of their poverty returns.

Hey if Bushy was thrown out would we end up with Cheaty pant's (Cheney) running whats left of this country?

DOH

:( I think a threat to stop ALL aid to Mexico by our Government until they start improving the lives of their people AND stop encouraging them to come to the US is in order.HOW DARE HE INSULT US WITH HIS THREATENING TONE !!
We just put a real kink in their Secret plans and that is why they are sooo upset !

Hey Calderon, fix your own country and leave America alone, we know how corrupt your is and we don't want your criminals here doing the same thing to ours!

Calderon, go kiss my behind.
If your dump of a country provided for its' own people, we wouldn't be arguing over this. I've been there and saw people in need groveling in the street, you should be proud.
Dirtbag.

I'm so sick of what the mexicans have to say about what they think WE need to do. I don't give a flying fig what mexico does in their country, so stay out of ours.

America will rise again! :D

AMEN!! My thoughts exactly when I read that stupid comment he made, but then he's made so many it's hard to keep up. Just like the illegals here, he thinks this problem created in his country and those south of him should be paid for by us! What a knucklehead. I guess that's where the illegals get their sense of entitlement.

That's a cool idea, but why just threaten to stop all aid? I think if we just did it, they'd pay a lot more attention. But I dream.

We keep throwing money at these countries, and they never fix anything. Mexico has rich people, but they refuse to take responsibility to change and help their own...

If we don't keep yelling at Washington and telling them to DEMAND Mexico reform and not us.....they will always bring up something to fleece the tax payers here, rather than tell foreign leaders to shut up and do something on their own!

Yeah!

I want to tell Mexico and all other countries encouraging illegal immigration into our country that the SUCKER STAMP just came off our heads here in the USA! We the taxpayers of this great nation are not going to let this go on anymore! We are going to push for enforcement of our nations immigration laws!

The game is going to end and it's time to deal with your people and your problems in YOUR OWN COUNTRIES!! :evil:


COME LEGAL OR NOT AT ALL!

We need to keep Yelling at our government to enforce the laws we have and close the border, I will keep calling REPS everyday telling them I want my laws enforced, and I want my borders secure!

hey Calderon.... Kiss my white american A$$
and worry about your own damn country and keep your business
out of US business and politics

Calderon is an idiot. Why doesn't he worry about ways to improve Mexico instead of depending on America to solve his problems?

Calling our senate's decision a "grave error", almost sounds like a threat to us.

If he thinks it was the wrong thing to do, than it was most definitely the right thing to do.

The welfare and well-being of the American people is the last thing on this man's mind.

I say we start calling Mexican embassies and consulates in this country and tell them that we think THEIR president is an idiot and they need to take their people back and take care of their own problems.

Again, the President of Mexico either doesn't fully understand English or he is twisting the facts around. He states that we are closing the doors to Legal Immigration. We are closing the doors to ILLEGAL Immigration. Plain and simple. What is he doing to better the economy of his country and the lives of its citizens? Is he creating jobs for the Mexican people, or is he, like his predecessor, expecting the United States taxpayers to do it all for him? Sorry, but Economic Vampirism does not make a good neighbor policy!

See the 'demand' word again. :roll:

US Delays Border Talk, Mexico Hot

Mexico, Jun 29 (Prensa Latina) The suspension of debate on immigration reform in the US Senate provoked in Mexico Friday unanimous rejection led by President Felipe Calderon.


Calderon stated that to postpone the discussion until 2009, US legislators hinder giving a sensible, rational and legal solution to the immigration affair saying that concrete measures are needed more than speeches.



The federal executive chief warned that the US Senate"s evasive reply opens the door to illegal immigration, which will have an effect on both sides of the border.



Calderon said that measure sacrifices development possibilities of millions of families and US people because that country"s economy cannot advance without the emigres" labor.



Members of the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) and PRD (Partido de la Revolucion Democratica) demanded the current government act according to Mexico"s interest and reject the wall United States raises in the common border.

That has always been the trouble with Mexico in the last couple of decades. They only have their own interests in mind and not any interests of the United States, unless of course, it's our tax dollars. The involvement of Mexico's two revolutionist groups that you mention says it all. Who are they to dictate over the United States Citizens? We most certainly need to protect our borders more than ever as it appears that very many Illegal Immigrants have their own agenda. This was demonstrated in Los Angeles on May Day when their cause was wholly supported by the Socialist and Marxist parties, proudly waving their banners at the march in support of the "rights" of Illegal Immigrants. I don't even think that the term "Immigrant" is applicable to those people, since many of them at various rallies have stated that they don't want to become citizens. One of them, a Marxist, was interviewed at a Hollywood rally in the newspaper "City Beat" and he blatantly stated what he thought of the United States. He would not want to become a citizen because he would have to give a Pledge of Allegiance! We need to be very wary.

I'm getting so tired of this new catch phrase "opens the door to illegal immigration"........that would only be the case if the damned door was ever closed to begin with. All statements like that are intended to mean is "If you thought it was bad before, see what we do until we get our way in this" That might work if we were actually as stupid as they think we are but............

As for Senate's so called "evasive reply"......I don't think it was so evasive. The American people spoke and those charged with representing US, listened to US. Nothing evasive about that.

Finally,thank you for your "concern" about the effects on both sides of the border, Mr. Federal Executive Chief. Please let us know when Mexico will be getting started on securing their side so that we can throw a party celebrating the official groundbreaking. PS: Should Mexico find itself with a labor shortage in constructing border obstructions, please don't be shy about saying so. We happen to know where you can find all of the construction labor you will need. No really....we insist. We'll never miss them.

Here is a video of Calderone giving his infamous speech.
