U.S. Senators Meet with Mexican President Calderón

1. Press Release: Presidency of the Republic (Mexico)

2. Statement by U.S. Senator Harry Reid

3. Statement by U.S. Ambassador Antonio Garza



1. Mexican President Meets with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid



November 29, Mexico City – During the meeting, President Felipe Calderón and the US senators exchanged points of view on key issues on the bilateral agenda, such as migration, combating organized crime and trade.

The president repeated the Mexican government’s position in favor of an integral migratory reform that will consider Mexican migrants' contributions to the US economy, society and culture and rejected the climate of persecution of migrants that prevails in certain parts of that country. He also stressed that since migratory flows reflect social, economic and demographic realities, the only long-term solution to the phenomenon is to consolidate the employment and living conditions in Mexico that will prevent Mexico from losing its best men and women.

The discussion regarding cooperation in the struggle against organized crime and drug trafficking focused on the "Merida Initiative," recently announced by the presidents of the two countries. It was agreed that this constitutes an opportunity to effectively deal with this common challenge, on the basis of the principle of shared responsibility and with full respect for the sovereignty of both countries. President Calderón stressed the need for US authorities to redouble their efforts to reduce arms trafficking to Mexico as part of this cooperation effort.

In discussing the state of economic relations between the two countries, the Mexican president stressed the importance of developing policies that will increase the competitiveness of both economies as part of North America, in order to meet the challenge raised by the emergence of increasingly dynamic growth centers in other parts of the world.

The US delegation included Democratic senators Jeff Bingaman, Kent Conrad, Byron Dorgan and Robert Menendez, as well as Republican senators Thad Cochran and Mike Crapo.

2. Harry Reid Statement on Meeting with Mexican President Calderon



November 29, 2007, Mexico City – U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada made the following statement today following his visit to Mexico during which he meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

“The bipartisan Senate delegation had a frank and productive conversation with President Calderon. We look forward to working with the government of Mexico as partners and good neighbors in our fight against problems of mutual concern.

“President Calderon has already demonstrated his strong commitment to fighting drug trafficking and organized crime. He understands that economic development in Mexico will help reduce illegal immigration to the United States, and he is fighting for reforms to achieve that goal.â€

Can you say NAU???

President Calderon has already demonstrated his strong commitment to fighting drug trafficking and organized crime, and we recognize our shared responsibility in that fight.

I'll be more convinced when calderon recognizes mexico's shared responsibility to stop sending their social scum north of the border.

consolidate the employment and living conditions in Mexico that will prevent Mexico from losing its best men and women.

I'll say it again... if you are losing the best men and women I hate to see whats left behind.

Harry Reid and his delegation should have stayed in the country they truly represent.

Since the number of illegal aliens inside our borders would be declared an invasion by any honest man, isn't this bargaining with Calderone treason?

These representatives better remember who they represent. They do not represent humanity or all peoples everywhere. They represent America. The Mexican government will clearly be looking out for the good of their people. I do not resent that. That is their job. Our officials should do the same. We are not from "the global community" we are Americans within Western culture. Culturist truth.

Secondly, just because this situation has been normalized doesn't make it normal or necessary. Culturism believes in the power of history to open choices for us. The "migratory pattern" (people come here money gets remitted back) did not used to exist. It got going in the 1950s until Eisenhower pulled "operation wetback" and did massive deportations.

This was not un-American. Culturism is traditional. We have had and enforced border laws on culturist principles since at least 1924. There are many earlier precedents too. Our 1795 law immigration oath saying you must abjure allegience to all foreign potentates is very culturist and very aware of the mental components of citizenship.

Not only is this not un-American, it is pro-America. If we do not stand up for ourselves and respect our sovereignty and the need for people to be responsible to the mainainance of America for it to survive, we cannot expect anyone else to. By saying no to normalizing the destruction of our border, you make people prize and appreciate the opportunity to be here. If you normalize the destruction of our border our sovereigty as a nation is done. That, my friends, is un-American.

Mexican government’s position in favor of an integral migratory reform

There it is, another euphemism for AMNESTY. To which the American people's answer is NO. Reform your own broken, corrupt country Calderon, and stop looking to American middle class taxpayers to continue to bail you out.

Let's call Sens. Crapo, Cochran et al. and tell them what we think!
