NSA Hacked Mexican Presidents' Email For Years: Report
NSA Hacked Mexican Presidents' Email For Years: Report
The National Security Agency hacked the email of former Mexican President Felipe Calderon, according to a report from Der Spiegel.
The report comes weeks after news that the NSA had access to current Mexican President Pena Nieto's emails, as well as Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's.
Rousseff blasted the U.S.'s controversial surveillance program at the U.N. last month.
The National Security Agency hacked the email of former Mexican President Felipe Calderon, according to a report from Der Spiegel.
The report, which stems from documents leaked by Edward Snowden, alleges that a division of the NSA "successfully exploited a key mail server in the Mexican Presidencia domain within the Mexican Presidential network to gain first-ever access to President Felipe Calderon's public email account." Der Speigel also reports that the spying, which began in May 2010, also targeted other top officials in the Mexican government.
The report claims that some of the information retrieved in the surveillance program provided economic benefits to the U.S.

"Meddling in such a manner in the lives and affairs of other countries is a breach of international law and, as such, it is an affront to the principles that should otherwise govern relations among countries, especially among friendly nations," she said.

Bush promises push for immigration reform
"My pledge to you and your government -- but more importantly, the people of Mexico -- is that I'll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform," Bush said at a ceremony welcoming him to Mexico.

MERIDA, Mexico (CNN) -- President Bush vowed Tuesday to do all he can to push for changes in U.S. immigration laws, and stressed that he and his Mexican counterpart, Felipe Calderon, were working together on immigration issues.
"My pledge to you and your government -- but more importantly, the people of Mexico -- is that I'll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform," Bush said at a ceremony welcoming him to Mexico.
"Together we're working to ensure that we have a secure and modern border that speeds the legitimate flow of people and commerce, and stops those who threaten our common safety and prosperity," Bush said.
The conservative Mexican president, who eked out a narrow victory in July, was polite but critical in his assessment of current U.S. immigration policy, which has resulted in millions of Mexicans paying thousands of dollars each to make the risky trip through deserts and mountains to find jobs in America.
"I'm from Michoacan, one of the states that has suffered most from emigration," he said. The result has been separated families and "pueblos where old people live alone."
He added, "We lose in each emigrant the best of our country: young, strong workers. People who leave because they don't encounter opportunities here to move forward."
Calderon called for the generation of jobs in Mexico, "because this is the only way to resolve, at its base, the migration issue."
"There is nothing better for security and prosperity of the region than the prosperity of Mexico," he said.
"We share the proposal to maintain a secure border. People who live on both sides merit it -- as much the Americans as the Mexicans."
Calderon also referred to the flow of drugs into the United States but called on his neighbor to the north to help.
"As long as the demand for drugs isn't reduced in one territory, it will be very difficult to reduce the provision of it from ours," he said.
Bush, who served as governor of Texas before becoming president, began his administration by seeking closer ties with Mexico. But those efforts were sidelined by the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that followed.
Last year, Bush endorsed a "comprehensive" immigration reform bill that would couple tighter border controls with a guest-worker program and a path to citizenship for the 10 million-plus illegal immigrants now estimated to live in the United States. But the measure stalled in Congress in the face of opposition from his own party.
Speaking in Guatemala on Monday, Bush said he hopes to have a comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by August.
About 85 percent of the illegal immigrants entering the United States are from Mexico, which is the United States' third-largest trading partner.
The two leaders were meeting Tuesday at Hacienda Temozon, a resort outside Merida on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Following the meeting, Bush, Calderon, and their wives will tour Mayan ruins in Uxmal before sitting down for dinner in Merida.
They plan to hold a joint news conference in Merida on Wednesday after meeting with Mexican lawmakers in the morning.
Bush is scheduled to depart Merida for Washington on Wednesday afternoon.
Bush's trip also included stops in Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Guatemala. (Bush itinerary)
