Mexican President says - "Mexico does not end at its borders."?
The criticism earned Calderon a standing ovation during his first state-of-the nation address.
"We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers," he said. "The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle ... for their rights."

Question - What are your thoughts ?
Answers:
Speaking English in other countries?
We have to say 'We give the illegals the same rights as Mexico does theirs.' That will shut him up!Are we going to spend BILLIONS just to teach illegal immigrants English?
Its great to see some President having the guts to blame the US for their fault. A clap for Mr. Calderon
It damn well should.
I mean, all nations should look out for their nationals in other countries; we all have embassies. But the Mexican economy is propped up a couple of hundred dollars via Western Union at a time. The US economy isn't the one being supported by undocumented, illegal aliens. The average illegal household uses more services than they pay for in taxes, and is a drag on our government:

Check it out it will make you scream.
True that the US took it from Mexico but that is by far long gone in the past. He can't handle what he's got down there and now he wants to blame the US for their economic problems. What does he want, we gotta give him a job too?
He has allot of nerve opening up his yap over the way things are done in the USA. Why doesn't he fix his own country first,he can't even handle that.Sounds like he wants us to give "special treatment" to the people of Mexico only.Why would he think he can govern the rules of the USA? Who gave him that impression?He is a jerk.
Question about Immigration from Los Angeles to Mexico?
Never been to America.
Visiting Japan, I felt that Japan was a state of mind, that wouldn't be limited by borders.
So same deal here I suppose.
I think Mexico is MESSED UP and I hope we get our act together..I am so sick of this crap. Mexico needs to get their own house in order so their people will stay HOME. He EVEN SAYS UNDOCUMENTED worker.HE ALLOWS HIS PEOPLE TO BREAK THE LAW.
Ilegal immigrant and college/citizenship?
Calderon's philosophy is to encourage the poor and underpriviledged to go to the land of plenty the 'good ol' United States.
That way the economy will go up in Mexico and of course the income in the United States will go down and all the wealthy in each country will have access to cheap labor because American citizens will have to compete with cheap labor and ad nauseum, and the working folks of the United States will suffer the consequenses of Republican President Bush and President Calderon.
This situation would not be present if this Republican President Bush/Cheney and right wingers of the Nationalist Republican Party would have secured the border between the United States and Mexico.
Thanks
Why do we call it America?!?!?!?!?!?
He is playing a traditional Mexican political game to gain support of the anti-Gringo faction in the Mexican electorate. It consists mostly of the poorer segment of their population.

Do i need a passpoert to go into belfast?
As the article continues, there are many high-profile deportation cases which fail to take into account humanitarian considerations. He has to address these publicly and recognise the anger of his own people to what they see as sub-human treatment.
If there really is a free trade zone then surely some consultation and co-operation is preferrable to heavy-handed ill treatment?
U.S. FIANCE VISA for LEBANESE CITIZEN?
That may be true BUT America's border is clearly defined and we need to secure and protect it
I'm a legal resident, how do I bring my fiancee to the US?
Listen up U.S. The Mexicans have already invaded our borders and it will be only a matter of time before they take over Arizona, New Mexico and California. Then they will want those states annexed to Mexico. Of course, they will still want to suck the U.S. government teat for free housing, free food stamps, free medical care and free education.
How many people would migrate to America if the borders were open and citizenship was guaranteed?
"Mexico does not end at its borders".
And too much tequila and too many happy pills make for one delusional dude!
Why does the Wal-Mart in Mexico have volunteers ?
