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.

Mexico’s U.S. colony

We’re the colony. So when Mexican President Calderon visits, he ignores our president and congress, and visits his colonialists who send home each year double the money Mexico makes from tourism:

"And while he assured the audience at Harvard that he has no interest in sending more Mexicans to the United States and that he only wants to protect those already here, you’d have to be incredibly naïve to believe that. Mexico has no real economic incentive to secure the border and stop the cash flow."

And, so far, we have no president or congress willing to do it, either. So how does it feel to be colonized, eh amigas y amigos? Ya Basta!
