President accused U.S. presidential candidates of fear mongering
MEXICO CITY - President Felipe Calderon on Friday told Mexican consuls to the U.S. and Canada that they must work to “neutralize” anti-immigrant attitudes north of the border.
Calderon’s instructions came two days after he accused U.S. presidential candidates of “swaggering, macho and anti-Mexican” posturing. He also warned the U.S. Congress not to impose conditions on a $1.4 billion anti-drug aid package.
On Friday, the Mexican leader asked his diplomatic representatives in the U.S. to participate in the public debate on immigration by appearing at public events, talking more to the media and working with nonprofit groups to promote Mexican immigrants’ role in supporting the U.S. economy.

When are we going to start treating Mexico like the enemy of America that they are. Once a country’s government gets involved in helping their citizens violate our laws which they do regularly they are not our friends.
