Calderón. What a cabrón! What is enraging is that in Mexico it is illegal for foreigners to participate in anything political but he feels perfectly free to try to have an influence on our domestic policies. Not only are Mexico’s immigration laws brutaly exclusionary but just visiting can turn into a nightmare. If you are in a car accident, everyone gets taken to jail until liablity is determined. If you don’t have Mexican liability insurance you’ll be prevented from leaving the country even if you need medical care and good luck getting anything more than minimal medical care in their jails. Good luck getting enough to eat or getting enough money together to pay other prisoners for ‘protection’. The US may not be perfect but we make more than an effort to be better. Not just better than other countries, but better than our own past, better than our present. The only thing Mexico seems to be getting better at is organized crime, corruption and poverty. That is why he is against our immigration laws. It puts a damper on his top three exports.
