And what does President Obama do? He agrees with Mexican President Felipe Calderon. President Obama needs to stop pandering to everyone EXCEPT the people he swore to protect. He constantly criticizes America, and it's making the US look weak.
The people of America want tougher handling of illegal immigration, but President Obama seems to think he knows better than us. That's not how a democracy works. President Obama doesn't get to say, "Okay, America, I understand what you want. But I'm going to do the opposite."
Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona said, "We are spending millions of dollars to help Mexico fight the drug cartels that pose a threat to his government, and he doesn't seem to recognize our concerns. He ought to be apologizing to us instead of condemning us."
"Mexico wants people to come to the United States and to send their money home," Rep. Ted Poe, Texas Republican, said. "They want to make their problems our problems — that's their foreign policy. President Calderon should spend more time focusing on problems in his own country instead of criticizing Arizona for doing what Mexican law requires its own to do."
This Fox News article talks about how "illegal immigrants in Mexico -- typically from Central America -- face abuse, rape and kidnappings, and that Mexican police do little to stop it."
But what about American citizens who are legally in Mexico? How are they treated? Considering how Mexican President Felipe Calderon demands that Arizona not discriminate against Mexicans, and how Mexico needs the money its illegal immigrants send back to Mexico, and how Mexico needs its tourism dollars, they must treat Americans like welcome guests in their country, right?
No. Recently, a Rutgers University graduate, Joseph "Zeke" Rucker, was vacationing in Cancun, Mexico when he was found with crushing head wounds. He's in a coma, now. Mexico seems to show little sympathy for Zeke's parents.
Zucker’s New Jersey–based parents strongly suspect foul play and random violence. But the American consulate told the family there will be no investigation, and Zeke’s parents say the Mexican police didn’t even bother to meet with them.
Mexican consulates on American soil are famous for vigorously intervening on behalf of their illegal-alien citizens — lobbying to get them driver’s licenses, bank accounts, and health care, for example, and rushing to defend illegal-alien border-crossers arrested in reckless- and drunk-driving cases.
The Mexican hospital that treated Zeke demanded up-front payment for all of the costs related to his care, surgery, and stay before allowing him to leave. Can you imagine the international uproar if a U.S. hospital demanded the same of Mexican citizens in its care?

And President Obama has the nerve to not only give credence to, but to totally agree with Calderon's objections to Arizona's new illegal immigration law? Things are give-and-take. America already gives Mexico way, way more than we get back, and Calderon is demanding more more more.
Why aren't American citizens absolutely outraged over this?
