Mexico needs to do its part as well; to push for immigration reform in the U.S. is one way of avoiding the real problem, Mexican politics themselves. The immigration issue is the result of years of political corruption that controls and monopolizes the Mexican economy while at the same time denies workers their fair share and treatment due to lack of fair labor laws. If Calderon really wants to assure his people are treated right i the U.S. he must himself as well as other Mexican politicians assure the people are treated right in their country.

I'm glad he's showing face for his people but instead of pushing for political shifts outside hi realm he must concentrate the efforts on the internal politics of Mexico to assure immigration is not an issue in the future. He should push for the creation and implementation of fair labor laws to assure workers are paid fairly by foreign companies. He must also break up all existing monopolies in Mexico (telmex, pemex) to allow local and foreign investors and entrepreneurs to bring in their business, competition and jobs to mexico but only after fair labor laws are implemented. Telmex and Pemex if broken could themselves create an influx of investment if done right. Telecommunications and Energy run the world, but if they are left to have all control (monopoly) they will control the people.

His efforts are noted but they don't have merit when little to nothing is being done on the Mexican end re mediate the problem. The only reason he's doing this is because of money, Mexico needs the money immigrants send, if he really cared about his people he'd try to fix the country so that they don't escape by the masses as they do today.
