When Mexican President Felipe Calderon addressed Congress and whined about Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law, most Democrats stood and applauded, presumably because they feel a foreign head of state whose country directly benefits from billions of dollars sent back across the border by illegals, has a more valid opinion on the matter than the approximately 70% of Arizonans who favor the law (not to mention the over 6 in 10 Americans who view the law and its specific aspects favorably). But then, hey, when has this Congress ever bothered with what the public thinks.
Earlier this week in what was a bald-faced PR move with absolutely no real efffect or intention, President Obama announced he was sending 1,200 National Guard troops to the border..............to do paperwork and absolutely, positively not enforce immigration law. This non-move by the President was met with the type of derision appropriate for moronic measures. The Mexican government advised its people that they should continue to feel free to roam on across the border as the troops are not there to enforce immigration laws. This is how little respect Mexico has for both the President and the border.
