Calderon condemns border killing, ties it to Ariz. immigration law

Mexican President Felipe Calderon is condemning the killing of an illegal immigrant by U.S. Border Patrol agents as a "truly unacceptable violation" that involved "torture." He's also tying it to Arizona's immigration law, even though the incident took place on the border with California.

"A death with that degree of violence is a truly unacceptable violation," Calderon said, according to the Associated Press. "We need to raise all our voices, not only for Mexico but for human rights, because the cause of migrants is a cause that affects us all." He added that the Arizona immigration law "opens a Pandora's box of the worst abuses in the history of humanity."

A San Diego police captain told the Associated Press that Anastacio Hernandez — who was in the country illegally and was being deported to Mexico — wrestled two Border Patrol agents to the ground when his handcuffs were removed at the border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana. An agent shocked him with a stun gun and he died hours later.

Calderon, who criticized U.S. immigration policy during his visit to the White House last month, says Mexico is engaging in an "energetic protest of the torture and death of Anastacio Hernandez, a Mexican who died at the hands of North American migration authorities."

This rhetoric can't help his relationship with the U.S., which he depends on for cash and resources to fight the country's costly drug war. But Calderon is a deeply unpopular president, and turning the focus to foreign policy might be a way for him to distract from domestic failures. His war on the drug cartels, which the U.S. supports financially through the Merida Initiative, has unleashed a wave of violence in the country.

A recent poll sponsored by the Mexican newspaper El Universal shows that Calderon's approval rating remains at 41 percent. That's unchanged since February, despite his newly aggressive stance toward the U.S. Those polled listed the country's main problems as national security and jobs.

Correction: An earlier version of this post gave Calderon's approval rating as 32 percent. That is the approval rating of Calderon's Cabinet.

Let's look at Calderon's motivation. The folks trying to get into the US are, generally, uneducated & unemployable except as manual laborers. He has PLENTY of those. The easier it is to get folks out of Mexico & into the US, the better off he is.

A very close friend of Chez Kaos is a family from Monterrey. Mexico. We went to his eldest daughter's wedding there. A WONDERFUL time!!!! But let me tell you - in US cities, it may take two wrong turns to get from a "respectable" block of town to something less, in Mexico - it only takes a half turn.

It is completely in the Mexican Government's best interest to make the northern border as permiable as possible.

It's time for the erection of The Freedom Wall.

Glass houses, rocks, throwing, etc.

Lets face the fact. Every illegal here from mexico sends money home. I've seen a couple of figures that place the estimate at almost $2B. Thats a lot of jack. Calderon wants illegals here for the money they send back to mexico.

Absolutely.. We know the MSM won;t put this story in it;s proper perspective. Calderone is continually promoting violence and increasing border tenisons. THere was another shooting yesterday and Calderone is spouting off about his peoples rights,,The border patrol guys were getting stoned by a group of illegals that ran back into Mexico as the thing panned out,One guard after firing warning shots defended himself, killing an illegal that ran back into Mexico, and the Mexican president is acting like these people have a right to be illegals and they have a right to throw rocks and other projectiles at our border guards and not be subject to return fire or other resistance,,,,, Build the fence,,'Definitley" Man that same fence with trained personnel "Definitely!!"

[zephyp]

I think until we have an administration that tells mexico to stick it nothing will help...no matter how big the fence or how well manned it wont matter.

The sad "EFIN" truth is that mexican illegals are here doing work that americans wont do.


I talked to a friend who is a superintendant of a major housing project outside of Baltimore. I mean a HUGE development, not urban development.

He told me that he has been building in this exclusive area for over two years now, and has not seen ONE native son come in looking for a job. These jobs do not pay less to the mexicans, its that american kids(18+) think they should be able to make a living playing video games. This is the slow death that america faces. The mexicans show up, do their work without complaining and send most of their money back to mexico.

That's because American's shouldn't have to work for anything. The government should just hand out our money to them and make those illegals work for it. The welfare state helps create this problem because we have created a whole class of people who would rather live on government handouts than perform these jobs.

We're often told that public schools are underfunded. In the District, the spending figure cited most commonly is $8,322 per child, but total spending is close to $25,000 per child -- on par with tuition at Sidwell Friends, the private school Chelsea Clinton attended in the 1990s.

So DC is spending $25k a year per student so they can sit around and collect free money later in life. The education of most illegal immigrants is below that of even DC dropouts, so if they wanted to work I'm sure they could find employment. Problem is they don't.

Todays kiddies definitely think they're special and deserve top dollar with no experience. The constant raising of the minimum wage, the term "Working Poor" from the Clinton administration, McDonalds jobs being touted as careers and the plain fact that the little dears never got the kick in the ass that they need to motivate them has fueled this fiasco big time. Kids are treated like they are in charge and taught that working with your hands is too menial for their precious little butts. So mom and dad spoil their future liability and make them think the whole world revolves around them they're som special. I work in construction and most superintendents say the same thing, American kids want top $$ if they even show up to apply and then want to be coddled with special privelidges. How dare we make them get up for work and actually get there on time? . Most Mexicans will work, and not complain knowing that if they mess up they're fired. The schools and education system have become nothing more than a political football to waste tons of money on and make people think that if they don;t get the $$$$ then Johnny won't be able to read, BS ,It has nothing to do with educating the kids and all to do with the money that can be extorted from the taxpayers.
