Stifle Yourself, Calderon

Why is nothing said to the Mexican government about their unrelenting attempts to interfere in the internal affairs of our nation?

Reuters reports that Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused the United States of stepping up persecution and abuse or Mexican illegal aliens. Persecution? Abuse? Enforcing our Immigration Laws constitutes persecution and abuse?

"I want to express again an energetic protest at the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government which exacerbate the persecution and abusive treatment of undocumented Mexican workers," Calderon said in his state of the union speech. "The Mexican government will continue to insist firmly ... on the need for an integral immigration reform and the categorical rejection of the building of a wall on our common border," Calderon said to raucous applause.

If the Mexican government is truly concerned about persecution and abuse, they would do something about it in their own country which might alter the need for their poor to flee in uncontrolled droves. As for insisting on immigration reform within the United States and rejection of a border security wall, quite frankly none of that is the business of Mexico and the American people would prefer that you stifle yourself, Senor Calderon.
