MexPres Calderon Visits Obama, Disses U.S.

Responding to the state of Arizona passing an immigration law, Mexican President Calderon was in Washington today to spew criticism.

Calderon asserted there will be discrimination against ordinary Mexicans who illegally cross the border.

President Obama listened and had no words countering Calderon's attack, no words supporting the the U.S. or the American rule of law.

Meanwhile, ordinary Mexican citizens are ignoring their own laws, arguably consistent with the hypocritical philosophy of President Calderon on how Americans should respect laws.

In Mexico State, on the outskirts of Mexico City, authorities said Tuesday that residents of a town beat a man death on suspicion of robbing a young couple of 200 pesos (about $16) and a cell phone Monday.

The suspect and an accomplice allegedly held up the couple with a knife and what later was found to be a toy gun.

About 300 people pursued the two men, caught one and beat him so badly with sticks and fists that he died in an ambulance, officials said.

It's pretty sad when a foreign leader verbally trashes the U.S. when his own house is in shambles. It's also sad that we don't have an administration who will speak up for the United States and its citizens when officially disrespected in public.

Most of us are proud to be Americans and it's insulting for Mexico to lecture us when its own citizens can't leave the country fast enough.
