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."
