Practice what you preach, Señor
Presidente de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos, Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa said in his State of the Mexican Union last Sunday:
“A nombre del Gobierno de México, nuevamente externo una enérgica protesta por las medidas unilaterales tomadas por el Congreso y el Gobierno de Estados Unidos que exacerba la persecución y el trato vejatorio en contra de los trabajadores mexicanos no documentados.La insensibilidad mostrada hacia ellos que mucho aportan a la economía y a la sociedad estadounidense ha sido un aliciente para redoblar la lucha por el reconocimiento de su enorme aporte a la economía de ambas naciones y por la defensa de sus derechos.”
TRANSLATION: “We strongly protest the unilateral measures taken by the U.S. Congress and government [Blogging Note: el presidente should be told the U.S. Congress is 1/3 of the government] that have only persecuted and exacerbated the mistreatment of Mexican undocumented workers . . . The insensitivity toward those who support the U.S. economy and society has only served as an impetus to reinforce the battle … for their rights.”
Señor Presidente Calderón Hinojosa, how about you show us first how to treat your people, the very people who are voting with their feet to escape unilaterally your country! These people had dumped Mexico for the United States of America and they send their hard-earned income home to their familieswho hadn’t left Mexico yet. Let your people be free from big government, Señor Presidente Calderón Hinojosa.
