Mexican president slams Arizona immigration law

MEXICO CITY, April 26 (Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Monday slammed a tough new immigration law in the U.S. state of Arizona, which borders Mexico, saying it would breed hate and discrimination.

The law has raised fears that Hispanic immigrants could be racially profiled and reignited the hot-button political issue of immigration reform in the United States, which at times has touched off fierce criticism from some Latin American leaders.

"Criminalizing immigration, which is a social and economic phenomena, this way opens the door to intolerance, hate, and discrimination," Calderon told a meeting with Mexican immigrant groups.

"My government cannot and will not remain indifferent when these kinds of policies go against human rights," Calderon said, adding that he would bring up the new law when he meets with Obama next month during an official visit to Washington.

Newsflash Felipe- illegal immigration IS a crime, NOT a human right.

He could very well well be talking about Mexico's immigration policy towards people from South America.

A guy who runs a country where you have to look up to see the septic tank should not lecture others.
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Considering Mexico's immigration laws, his response is pretty funny.  But, little "O" probably isn't aware of them.

Fix your problems El Presidente then take care of your people before speaking ill of a country that could bury your military in a week.
