The Hypocrisy of Mexican President Felipe Calderon

On Thursday Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke before Congress and received a standing ovation for his disparaging remarks regarding Arizona's immigration bill. Of course this was after he and President Obama took turns bashing Arizona for doing what our federal government won't do, protect America.


President Obama said, "I want everyone, American and Mexican, to know my administration is taking a very close look at the Arizona law. We're examining any implications especially for civil rights. Because in the United States of America, no law abiding person, be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like."


Obviously the President, like Eric Holder & Janet Napolitano, hasn't read the bill either because the bill is about illegal immigration Mr. President. How convenient that the left continues to confuse legal with illegal immigration.


Then Mexican President Felipe Calderon did an interview with Wolfe Blitzer on CNN. To paraphrase one of Wolfe's questions: Mr. President, so what would happen if a person from Guatemala entered Mexico illegally? President Calderon say, "we would send them back."


That's all Arizona and most Americans want our government to do President Calderon. The illegal immigrants from your country have been a drain on our economy for far too long and it's time for it to stop unless you plan to start paying for them.


In the wake of Arizona passing their immigration bill, ten other states: Texas, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho, South Carolina, Minnesota, North Carolina, Maryland, and Missouri are also considering similar legislation.


Despite the liberal media trying to paint Arizona as the exception the majority of Americans, 55%, support similar legislation in their states according to Rasmussen (much higher in the border states and in the south).


If Obama and the Democrats continue to dismiss the will of the American people, they will pay dearly at the ballot box in November.


See you in the trenches,
