In his first State of the Nation address, Mexico's president Felipe Calderon condemned the treatment of Mexicans living illegally in the U.S. "Mexico does not end at its borders," said the president. "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico," he further declared, to a standing ovation from an audience of supporters at the National Palace in Mexico City. Almost no U.S. politicians reacted to this verbal assault on our nation's sovereignty. One honorable exception was Tom Tancredo, who observed that perhaps the people of Mexico would be grateful if Calderon were to show "as much concern over the well-being of Mexicans unlucky enough to still live there as he does for the people who have successfully fled his country."
