Calderon: Protect our safety valve

Mexican President Calderon is upset with Arizona for refusing to be Old Mexico’s political safety valve and continue accepting illegal immigrants. Why, if this refusal catches on Mexico’s oligarchy might have to stave off revolution by actually creating new jobs for its own people.

Which would cut into the economic status quo enjoyed by Calderon and his cronies. So much easier to encourage poor Mexicans to go north and work for the gringos. And wax indignant at any threat to the goverment’s favored practice, i.e. screw the gringos. And, of course, his fellow Mexicans.
