Calderón decries U.S. harassment of Mexicans
MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderón decried Wednesday what he called “the growing harassment” of Mexicans in the United States and said his government will work to counter it by funding a media campaign to show migrant success stories.
Mexican officials have expressed concern over a recent wave of immigration raids and a U.S. political climate perceived as anti-migrant. Calde-rón said U.S. presidential candidates were using migrants as “symbolic hostages” on the immigration issue.
“I am especially worried about the growing harassment and frank persecution of Mexicans in the United States in recent days,” Calderón said at a meeting of the Mexican government’s migrant-assistance agency.

He called on leading U.S. presidential candidates to “stop holding Mexicans in their country as symbolic hostages in their speeches and (campaign) strategies.” He was apparently referring to the hard line some candidates have taken on the immigration issue, and other candidates’ unwillingness to take a clear stance in the debate.
To bolster the image of migrants in the U.S., the Mexican government will launch “direct media campaigns aimed at showing migrant success stories and raise awareness of the many contributions” migrants make to U.S. society, he said.
Calderón noted that 6 million of the 11 million Mexican immigrants in the United States are undocumented and endorsed the creation of what he called the League Against Discrimination Against Mexicans in the United States.
Pablo Alonso Flores, a member of the advisory council of the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, described the new anti-discrimination league as a group “run by Mexican-Americans, aimed mainly at defending our rights peacefully and respectfully, while not allowing media attacks on the integrity, roots and customs of Mexicans.”
Calderón also endorsed a project to expand shelters for deported migrants in Mexican border cities.
If Calderon thinks it’s bad now then just wait for the shooting and gun battles to start..
Don’t blame us, blame the Politicians in DC who won’t secure the borders..
“Calderón also endorsed a project to expand shelters for deported migrants in Mexican border cities.” Why so the government can take an even more active roll in sending people over the border illegally and to hardship ? This is crazy. Is he setting up shelters for the people in the south that enter Mexico illegally ?
No, there isn’t anyone left in Congress who possesses true leadership! They, Congress Critters that is, possess the greatest need to overlord the taxpayers while they have drinks with the Mexicans as they laugh their butts off at us Americans as we work our a**es off to pay for all of this crap!
I’m sick of all of them! They all need to be fired! and I say if one wants to serve in Congress they should do it on a voluntary basis with no pay, no excellent retirement fund, no nothing! ( I wish I could bold type this!)
We see what happens when they are in control of their own pay raises! The bastards!
Okay, I’m done! I’m composed now! thanks.
We are all immigrants, well with the exception of the NATIVE AMERICANS that were here before we were. Why chose to b*t@# about this when there are REAL atrocities being committed by OUR government to innocent people? Look back into your family trees I bet you find a bunch of immigrants, even you stuck up blue bloods you came from England and other parts of Europe.
and just a side note, in the first comment…
“If Calderon thinks it’s bad now then just wait for the shooting and gun battles to start..”
isn’t shooting and gun both referring to guns???? isn’t your word usage a little redundant?
