Mexico's Calderon urges US to curb drug demand


Mexico's Calderon urges US to curb drug demand - Yahoo! News
Mexican President Felipe Calderon is telling Congress that the fight against narcotics traffickers along the border can only succeed if the United States reduces its demand for illegal drugs.
He says the United States must stop the flow of assault weapons and other arms into Mexico.

Calderon's state visit comes at a time of renewed furor over the flawed immigration system from Mexico into the United States. From border security troubles to questions about how to deal with the millions of illegal migrants living in the U.S., the immigration debate remains politically vexing, frustrating and volatile.

Obama is lobbying lawmakers to get moving on legislation that would seek to deal with the security, employment and citizenship issues all at once. But he concedes he doesn't yet have the Republican support he would need to get such a complex deal done. Whether any progress will happen this year is unclear.

Stoking the matter is a new law approved by Arizona lawmakers and set to take effect July 29 unless derailed by legal challenges. It requires police, in the context of enforcing other laws, to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.

Calderon calls that discriminatory, and Obama agrees the Arizona law could well be applied that way. He has ordered a Justice Department review.

Tell this corrupt little martinet that his corrupt socialist government not only encourages the drug trade through Mexico and it buys weapons easily on the international market, rarely through the US. Obama should encourage enforcement of our boarder and current immigration laws, not bow to Mexico's wanton pressure to encourage illegal immigration into the US, bringing with it (automatically, by definition of illegal) crime plus drug trafficking as its sad bonus!
For good measure, since Caldoron is so self-righteously upset with the Arizona Anti-Illegal Alien Law, maybe we should pass an anti-illegal immigration bill like the one Mexico has, instant incarceration and then deportation!
Burro Crap abounds!
