Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke before a joint session of Congress May 20, 2010. President Calderon stated that he "strongly disagrees" with the new Arizona law and that he agrees with President Obama that the law invites racial profiling. Bradley Blakeman of FOXNews.com writes, "The fact that an American administration would invite and incite a head of state to disrespect our nation is unconscionable."
The Arizona law specifically bans racial profiling, and the language of the law simply mirrors federal law, which opponents would see if they would bother to read the legislation. Arizona law SB 1070 has received unjust and unfounded opposition.
Mexican President Calderon closes his remarks by saying, "We must find a better way together to face and fix this common problem." The Democrats stood in support of President Calderon's remarks.
Even if the President, members of Congress, and Senators disagreed with the immigration law passed in Arizona, they should accept and support Arizona's right to create laws to govern their territory. Any disagreements between the state and the federal governing bodies are internal and should be treated with respectful difference, not publically renounced on American soil by other governments.
Opponents of Arizona's immigration law should quietly sneek across the boarder into their beloved Mexico and see if President Calderon embrasses them as an illegal immigrant the way Obama embrasses the illegal immigrants in the United States.
Mr. President Calderon, America does not care about your opinion of our laws. President Obama should respect the majority of Americans who support Arizona, the people and country he was elected to represent.

call it profiling, call it what you want, but Mexico has it's own criteria for foreigners seeking citizenship there!! and NOONE is rising up against him!!!! ugggh...hypocrisy.
lol are they serious? do we need a law to do racial profiling? racial profiling has exited for YEARS, ask any 15-40 year old black guy. IDIOTS! tell the illegals (law breaking criminals) to GO HOME!
Let me see if I understand this, Mexican criminals illegaly cross our borders bringing drugs and death then take weapons back into Mexico. So, Bird Brain Calderon wants us to ban guns here in the states to stop this criminal activity?! Amazing! Hey...El Presidente, how about keeping your TRASH on your side of the border?
We should and most secure the borders. We have to stop these illegals coming in to this country. These people are beasts.They don't have any culture. Thank you!
