I don"t see the leaders of Japan, Ireland, England, Holland, India, Iran, Iraq, El Salvador etc coming over here to discuss the RIGHTS of their people. What nerve. We didn't ask them to come here so what is his point. If they dont't like it, they can go back home. What's more, if they are illegal they have no rights.

One very rushed president, 50 community leaders, dozens of concerns and under 30 minutes of face time: that, in a nutshell, is what characterized the meeting this afternoon between President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and a group of Mexican activists from across the New York region, held behind closed doors at the New York Marriott Downtown Hotel in Lower Manhattan.
The encounter had a decidedly grassroots tone, which, from the looks of his official agenda, seems to be exactly the tone that Mr. Calderón is trying to strike during his first official visit to the United States since he took office on Dec. 1, 2006.
The agenda includes meetings with Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York and community leaders here, in Chicago and in Los Angeles, as well as a stop in Boston tonight for a speech at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where Mr. Calderón received a master’s degree. Mr. Calderón arrived on Sunday and his last official engagement is on Thursday, in California.
This afternoon, he did not speak with the reporters from Spanish-language newspapers and television stations based in New York and Mexico, some of whom arrived at the hotel three hours before the start of the meeting at 1:30 p.m. In fact, before Mr. Calderón’s motorcade pulled up, hotel security kicked the reporters onto the cold street and police officers pushed them to the corner. “Presidente! Presidente!â€
