President Calderon is a guest in the United States. I find his critique of the Arizona immigration law as discriminatory bad manners at best. More accurately, it is incredibly hypocritical. Here is a summation of how immigrants in Mexico are treated:
In brief, the Mexican Constitution states that:
• Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.
• Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.
• Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.
• Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.
• Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants)
and hand them to the authorities.
• Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process.

I think we should offer to treat illegal immigrants from Mexico exactly the same as Mexico treats those that invade her country.
I wonder what the Spanish word for Chutzpah is. . .
