Mexico's President is Worried About Escalating Resentment
President Felipe Calderon attended a public forum at George Washington University. He lamented the hostility that Americans have for illegal aliens, and that a mutual feeling of resentment is now spreading throughout his failed state of Mexico.
“My most serious concern is that bad feelings are growing on both sides of the border,” he added. “The anti-American feeling in Mexico is growing again.”
Meanwhile, he said, “the anti-Mexican or anti-Hispanic, or Latino, or immigrant feelings are growing here [in the United States].”
“What we need to do is remember each other – that we are neighbors, we are nice, and we are human persons,” said Calderon. “We contribute to each other’s prosperity.”
Unless the public’s perception about immigration, in both countries, changes, “it will be impossible to persuade” people to implement immigration reform, said Calderon.
Hey, Mr. Presidente what kind of a neighbor invades the others home; forces them to educate their children; takes their jobs; drives up health care cost; floods our penal system; and at the same time demand that they press one for English? And you’re worrying about the resentment of your citizens? These aren’t neighbors they’re colonizers.
I find it interesting that Mr. Felipe Calderon attended a public forum sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars. President Wilson didn’t put up with the shenanigans of our southern neighbor. Mexico was a failed state then, as it is now; and with it comes outlaws and villainy.
In 1915, Pancho Villa invaded Texas. A number of Americans lost their lives. Wilson employed militia and the military to secure our borders. He also sent an expeditionary force into Mexico to hunt down Villa and restore order.
It’s been almost a hundred years later, and we’re still dealing with a neighbor who can’t get their act together.
