Coming Over the Border, Mexicans Don't See

Mexican president Felipe Calderon wouldn't have it any other way. A true politician, to please his people of Mexico he claimed that the Mexican border doesn't end at the U.S. border.

Calderon said he feels Mexicans should be able to work in America, pay no taxes, and then send that money gained in the U.S. to Mexico. The fact the illegal immigrants from Mexico use the sidewalks and roads, schools and public safety, without payment, means nothing.

Calderon called for the U.S. Congress to wake up; that they are persecuting and exacerbating the mistreatment of "undocumented" Mexican workers. Mexico's president called it "insensitive". In this his first state of the union address, Calderon said that Mexico needs to be strong and sure of itself. Yet he did not mention the improvement of Mexico so his own people wouldn't have to leave the country to find work elsewhere.

Popular with the people, Calderon got a standing ovation.
