The bottom line is this- Calderon does not want to stop the illegal flow of Mexicans into the US. Money talks and that’s where his loyalty lies. The vast majority of the Mexicans entering our country illegally don’t want to be Americans. Did anyone pay attention to the rallies in our streets? Did anyone notice the Mexican flags they were waving and the placards they were holding telling us to get out?

No nation can exist under multiculturilism. See Europe. The left is constantly shoving multiculturilism and diversity in our faces and quite frankly not all cultures are equal. No, I’m not a racist, just a realist.

Anyone who believes the number of illegals in this country to be 10 million is either incredibly naive or just an optimist. The figure is more like 20 to 30 million. I live in one of the largest counties in the US, Harris County, and in the last three years illegals have run up $585 million dollars in unpaid healthcare in Harris County alone! Who do you think is going to be coughing up this money? If you guessed Harris County taxpayers, you guessed right. I’m fed up with the open borders zealots shouting racism for a very serious problem.

Calderon has absolutely no business telling US taxpayers how to spend their money or how to enforce US law. He should practice what he preaches and stop exporting their poverty problems and criminals across the border. Americans need to wake up!
