MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican President Felipe Calderón on Wednesday accused U.S. presidential candidates of "anti-Mexican" posturing and asked the U.S. Congress not to impose conditions on a $1.4 billion anti-drug aid package.

 

"The only theme in the (U.S.) electoral campaign is to compete to see who can be the most swaggering, macho and anti-Mexican," Calderón told a local radio station, Enfoque. He did not name any particular candidate or party.

 

"I find the greatest sensitivity in the U.S. government, some in Congress," Calderón said. He said there was a "lack of understanding and aggravation, hostility toward Mexico" among Americans in general.

 

Calderón, who rarely gives interviews, is a conservative leader who has generally favored Washington's policies on trade and anti-drug efforts. He has made cracking down on drug smugglers a centerpiece of his administration, and U.S. drug enforcement agencies credit his efforts with a decline in cocaine supply in many U.S. cities.

Sounds like that he is not just "spouting off" but has a legitimate argument.

Wow this from a government that is brutally tough on illegal immagrints in their country.

Abraham Lincoln himself said that the Mexican-American war was the most unjust war in the history of the world. It's only fitting that Mexicans are finally getting back the land that rightly belongs to them.

True, but if we go with that mentality, every American needs to leave the country, and have the country returned to tribal control.

No, we purchased the Louisiana Purchase outright from the French, and the original colonies we won for our freedom, so your argument is as weak as Ken Griffey Jr's bones.

From whom did France buy Louisiana?

If that's your argument then every country in this world we call Earth is doomed to eternity and unjust.

It's not my argument - I have no problem with the fact that our forefathers conquered much of North America. Winners of wars have traditionally hung on (or tried to hang on) to the territory that they won. The notion that the current generation should atone for the sins of their great great grandfathers is a fairly recent idea and one to which I do not subscribe.

Haven't you ever read the old testament were the sins of the fathers would be atoned for by 1,000 generations. Face it. God is in complete control and does what he wishes.

Let the nation without sin cast the first stone. Mexico's corrupt government has no right to any US territory and neither does the illegal aliens that are here with Mexican assistance and encouragement.

God may say otherwise. I'm sure there have been plenty of unjust wars in the world, but Abe Lincoln himself said this war was the most unjust in American history, and I happen to agree with him. I believe that's why we are paying the consequences for it now.

Good thing Christ came, and that no longer applies.

The problems that we are seeing with illegal immigrants has nothing to do with God. We are being punished for electing corrupt politicians who violate their oaths to protect this nation and uphold our Constitution. God did not elect the imbeciles who are governing this country - we did.

Doesn't it? Didn't Christ say that he wasn't here to abolish the law, but to fulfill it?
