I keep hearing that Americans are outraged over Calderon's speech in Congress regarding issues that affect both countries. One of the issues being illegal immigration and the AZ immigration bill that was signed by Jan.
What exactly is upsetting to you about Calderno's speech?

What I found offensive was that he talked to his citizens, here illegally, in Spanish, telling them how Mexico has not forgotten them & is fighting for their rights. Rights that they dont have in Mexico. Why did he not chastise those people for complicating things between our two nations, why did he not tell them to stop & work towards making MEXICO more productive & a better place to live?
He then goes on to complain about our rights being respected by complaining about the availability of guns near the border, so on one hand he wants America to give his criminals rights his own country will not give them and he wants America to ignore the rights of American citizens so that they are helpless against the tide of Mexican smugglers.
He has alot of nerve to come here & eat on our dime to complain about living next door to the best country on Earth. I guess he'd be happier having a less tolerant country next door, one which did not let millions of people he cannot feed come across the border for a better life. One who might make it a dividing line between the nations or even actually take military action, as I feel we should.
The AZ law certainly is racial profiling, but thats what needs to be done. Its not random racial profiling however. It is what the feds should be doing but refuse to do. Try this sometime, if you are white. Take a trip into mexico. Drive around, find a place to live, take jobs the locals need and attempt to assimilate illegally into their culture. Then see if you get acess to a computer when you end up in a Mexican jail after you are caught with no papers. Try running away from their police or military & see how hesitant they are to shoot. Try finding someone to provide you with medical services or legal services should you get sick or arrested. Try getting them to send English notes home with your kids from school, try getting free English classes for the illegal Americans in Mexico.
Mexico has benefitted from its proximity to the USA since the first day it gained its independence from Spain but has NEVER returned that friendship in kind, always raiding us in one way or another.
Colderon should have been boo'ed off stage by our congress & President and deported on the next flight south, he is no friend to the US, Mexico is no friend to the US and the best thing we could do is cut off relations with them until they realize we are not interested in playing their childish games.

Since you are a dual citizen - are you demanding your other country end all it's borders and immigration laws and allow anyone to move there?
The majority of illegal aliens who have invaded this country are from mexico so it in fact could be deemed as racial profiling (another abused loophole) although to me it is not if you look at the reality of the situation. Again, asking everyone to come into reality.
