Do you agree that Mexico extends into the US because of all the Mexican people here?

Question

President Felipe Calderon, today blasted our deportations and said "Mexico does not end at its borders." And speaking to Mexicans in the US many of them here illegally he told them "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico."

That sounds pretty imperialistic to me. What would happen if we sent millions of Americans to another country and said that the US extends into your country?

Answer 1

I read the article in the news and Calderon is absolutely crazy! He is of course trying to appeal to his own people and to the illegal Mexicans in the USA. It is in the best interest of Mexico for their poorest people to live in the USA and send US$ back to Mexico. He should really be ashamed of himself for not, instead, promoting what Mexico should be doing in order to lure its citizens back to Mexico and keep them there so they do not feel the need to go elsewhere to make a living.

Answer 2

President Felipe Calderon is silly....
The Mexican-American War settle that debate where Mexico ends and United States of America begins!!!

Answer 3

No.
I would agree that Calderon is delusional, and desperate.
He has no control over what the United States does.

He should really be more concerned about taking care of his people in Mexico, so more can stay in their own homeland.

If he had any sense he would be working to make Mexico a better place by promoting a national zero population growth policy, through promoting family planning, birth control, and free abortions for all poor Mexican women.

Answer 4

If you've never noticed the Mexican political mind is loco. For example, in Oaxaca there was some dissatisfaction with the governor, so what do they do? Kill each other and destroy the city. Democracy is only 7 years old there, but doesn't figure to last. Viva Calderon, but Chavez will soon add this nation to his empire.

Answer 5

That statement was wrong and everybody in America should hear about that statement. It portrays the thoughts of everybody living here illegally from Mexico. Laws do not matter to them. They do whatever they want and have no respect for laws especially laws of other nations.
I wonder how the government would respond if there were 20 million people from terrorist training camps living here, doing jobs that "nobody" wants to do. Double standard, it's ok for Mexico to walk on the USA but not for anybody else. I don't agree with it and nobody in the USA does.

Answer 6

The USA is in Denial. What's worse, is the Illegal Mexicans are in denial.

Felipe Calderon's message really means he's happy Mexico is free of the 12-30 million Illegals who are already in USA. His job is to insure they NEVER come back! How else is he going to keep the Illegals from returning to Mexico? He must appeal to Illegals by claiming USA belongs to them.

Only US Dollar$ are welcome in Mexico.

Answer 7

I think He's the perfect example of why Mexico is so messed up. This man is expected to lead a country, and he makes a uneducated statement like that. His stupidity know's no bounds.

Answer 8

Calderon is playing politics with the Mexican electorate. He is playing to the anti-Gringo faction in his country.

Answer 9

Yes...Calderon is simply making the electorate in America angrier and angrier. It may be politically popular in Mexico, but it's not very intelligent. I hope he keeps on running his mouth. The more he talks, the more Americans start yelling at their own elected officials.

Answer 10

Well they wouldn't care b/c Americans have money. The Mexican president could give a hoot about his people. The man is a drug lord, allowing his country to suffer while he gets richer.
