By referencing the Berlin Wall, Calderon is admitting that Mexico is a crap hole just like the Soviet Union.

Having Mexico's corrupt military clamp down only ensures that the exodus will rise to a fever pitch.

Mexico is a crap hole because of it's penchant for nationalizing industry. Selling off PEMEX would be a good start. Use the revunue to lower taxes.

On the flip side, one area of government oversight desperately needed is Mexico's banking system. It's rife with corruption and functions mostly as a laudromat for narcodollars.

Unlike the Berlin Wall, Mexico isn't building it to keep her people from fleeing. America is building it to slow down the visigoth invasion.

For her part, America needs to stop playing at empire and get back to her republican roots.

Nice to know he so concerned about the Mexicans.

Bet those Mexican Truck Driver cheered for him and the people who was on their way to walk across our WIDE OPEN Mexican Border into the USA as INVADING ILLEGAL ALIENS.

CHEAP LABOR IS ALL THAT COUNTS!!!

America has been/is being INVADED by Illegal Aliens from around the world walking across our UNSECURED/CONTROLLED MEXICAN BORDER.

No sweat the USA President is on the ball----he going to work hard---NOT IN SECURING/CONTROLLING THE MEXICAN BORDER---but----

I just love this. We're being invaded by Latinos particularly Mexican and of course,'tis our fault. Moreover, Gonzales our attorney general is one of the invaders by ethnicity. He sided with a drug dealer one of our border patrol boys butt- shot. Our boys are in prison getting beat up by wait, let me phrase it right, Mexican illegals we have relaxing in our prisons for crimes on American soil. Gonzales supports that. Really, there's not one person in the Bush administration that works for Americans. Bush and his crew work for themselves and multiple other agencies but the American people. I've had it up to here with this shitey regime.

Two jackas$ wars we can't win but gluts us for money. Why? Because Bush and his regime do not work for US.

How come Mexicans are so entitled to America that they are above immigration laws? And why do we still have the law that once you birth a kid on our soil even while you're illegal here the kid however, is a legal US citizen?

We do not enforce existing laws except on certain ethnic groups like Haitians. We have laws that work against us eg. the birthing a kid one. And our borders remain wide open.

Well alrighty then. How soon will Lockheed secure the borders?

My daughter who will be 20yrs old sent this to me, i hae enough with the illegal immigrant stuff! pres Bush wna s us to conserve on gas--please---- the best way to conserve on gase is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down(Makes sense) Bring our troops home form Iraq to guard OUR borders. When they catch an illegal immagrant crossing the border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship them off to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to become an American citizen legally the he must serve a tour in the milatary. Give him a soldiers pay(which would seem like a kings ransom to them) while he's there and tax him on it. After his tour, he will be allowed to become an American citizen since he defended the country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot. This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and th aliens trying to make a better life for themselves.---Work for it --our ancestors did. Better yet if they refuse send them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo--Problem solved. Bring our boys back home(although I believe that if it wasn't over there it would be here, after I had a conversation with a 21 yr old who had served over there)--let them blow themselves up. We need a better way! Thanks for reading my opinion. Hopefully someone will come up with some kind of humane soultion. Although I do have to agree with some of the things I have been reading lately. God Bless America! Thank God We are Still Free.

Or we could just kill most of them off and put the rest of them on "reservations" like we did the native Americans. That will teach them to use "our gas"? What is it that we are still free of? Certianly not hypocracy! Draft mexicans to fight our dirty little war? Maybe we can bring back slavery too. May God bless you because you certianly need it.

If, for some bargain, the US would cede Texas to Mexico, Texas' constitution would revert back to the Republic of Texas. And Mexico, still nursing her wounds from the last tustle with we Texans, would quite certainly negotiate a settlement. 20,000 lbs of gold and 50,000 square miles of additional gulf coast property might be agreeable.

And Sam Houston on our new $5 Texas note. And our Olympic swim team would be instant medal contenders.

I can see no downside.

Long Live the Republic.

I agree. The U.S. stole Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Wyoming. All this used to be Mexico.

Why not give the 11 million illegal immigrants here amnesty? None of them are a threat to us. Most of them work jobs that no American wants. I think that we should give them amnesty.

Mexico is a nice country. Have you ever been to Mexico?

Mexicans are among the politest and nicest people in the world.

PEMEX has been nationalized for many years. The nationalization of industry in Mexico is not what is causing all the immigrants to come here from Mexico. Most of the people who come here are poor, unskilled laborers that are unable to find jobs in Mexico to support their families. That is why they come here. They also accept jobs that no American wants to do.

There is a poultry processing plant in Huntingburg, Indiana and in Robards, KY. Most of the people who work there are Hispanics because Americans refuse to do this type of work because they feel that it is degrading. Also, it is very hard and dangerous work. Also, most Americans do not want to frame windows or do roofing jobs. That is why these companies hire immigrants to do the jobs. If they cannot find people to work for them, what are they supposed to do?

Why not just give the ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA back to the what left of the Nations which was here prior to 1500 century.

The land was taken from them by killing nearly all of them!!!

All Americans except what left of these Nations can set the example by contacting the Choctaws or some other of the Nations.

Give them the deed to any and all land owned and pay as much back rent owed for their family using the land, damages, and for their suffering for their the last about 400/500 years.

Whatever money or valuables people have can be used for this purpose---except for cheap tickets to Europe, China, or etc.

Americans should set this example as soon as possible.

If Mexico is so nice then the INVADING ILLEGAL ALIENS should stay there and enjoy NICE MEXICAN COUNTRY!

DO NOT BREED IF CAN NOT FEED THE OFF SPRINGS!
No matter WHAT churches like the Roman Catholic church teaches unless you have a hate of your springs, like to see them hungry, like dooming them to a life as peons to serve the Church and Wealth Elite.

Invading Illegal Alien UNDER CUT THE AMERICAN WORKER wages to the point the INVADER live in HUGE NUMBERS in housing designed for a single family.

The INVADERS of the United States are ALLOWED to cross our Borders ILLEGALLY for ONE REASON---GREED OF PEOPLE MAKING MONEY OFF CHEAP LABOR!

The USA has Military Personnel in nearly every country in the world and supposedly the best military in the world.

But will not DEFEND it's own BORDER with MEXICAN allowing people from around the WORLD to just walk in by the MILLIONS INTO THE USA bring with them Drug Dealers, gangs, old illness like TB, Small Pox which was nearly defeated before in the USA..

Americans have killed their own chickens, roofed and framed their own windows/doors in the past ---and done it it a helluva lot better than INVADING ILLEGAL ALIENS---BUT FOR SOME STRANGE REASON THEY JUST EXPECTED TO BE PAID A FAIR WAGE!

American have talked about in the past of being INVADED by Germany, Japan, China, Russia and having to learn to speak their language.

America HAS BEEN, IS BEING INVADED across it's MEXICAN BORDER with INVADERS who demand their LANGUAGE-- SPANISH-- BE SPOKEN!!

It is time to USE the American Military for what ANY MILITARY of ANY COUNTRY purpose is DEFEND THE HOMELAND and use it to DEFEND United States by securing/controlling the USA Mexican Border---

It darn strange to have a MILITARY and refuse to use it to STOP the INVASION of our Country---instead send it to many other countries to defend their borders.

You just said that Mexico is a nice country, and then admit that it sucks to be in Mexico if you're not a member of one of the very few familias de nivel socio-económico alto.

Why don't you richie riches move to Mexico and hire these trabajadores?

I agree with Calderon's comments about the US demand for drugs. We are a nation filled with drug addicts. We are a nation where most addicts make 30 times as much money every week as the average Mexican. It as simple as supply and demand. Bush's Harvard education should have taught him that. Help the addicts and decrease the demand.

As I have continued reading these postings, one thing has become clear. There are probably a few of you (or at least someone you know) using an illegal drug. Before you complain about Mexican drug production, you should stop using their product. Most Mexicans who have come here "illegally" are not breaking our drug laws. Most would make better US citizens than many of my fellow American drug addicts. Some of you probably smoked an illegal one while you were typing. Stop being hypocrites!

when a Mexican rapes your kid ..kills your family member or robs you...you may wake up..the USA and Mexico have no treaty which will allow the USA to return a Mexican to the USA to stand trial..so if a Mexican kills or rapes your kid...makes it across the border into mexico..he is free..he can not be brought back to the usa...face facts...cheap labor is more importation than American life...12 Americans are killed each day by a Mexican who flees to mexico...thats more death in America by illegal immigrants than are killed in Iraq..
