Well of course the Mexican President is going to show hypocrisy when it comes to illegal immigration. With our porous borders, our lax immigration laws, and Mexico's inability to meet it's own citizens needs in Mexico, sure, they love to try to sponge off the US as much as possible.
Mexico looks at the US as a mere pressure valve. We're here to take in all their citizens who don't want to live in Mexico. We're here to feed, clothe, and pay for medical care for their citizens. But try that same kind of crap in Mexico and you know what? You have ZERO rights in Mexico. Why? Because they aren't foolish enough to try to help everyone like we are.
Why do you think that Mexico protested the proposed 700 mile long border fence? If they didn't think of us as something to be sponged off of, why would they care?
Even by Mexico's standards, Calderon's blatant hypocrisy is breathtaking. Calderon told the Washington Post more than a year ago that he believes laws are not a relative concept, nor subject to a personal concept of justice. Calderon declared a big difference between himself and his rival for the Mexican presidency, Manuel Lopez Obrador, was this: "I believe in the rule of law." Obviously he does not believe in the rule of U.S. law on U.S. soil.
If you really want to solve the immigration problem, you need to build fences, go after employers with hefty fines, and actually enforce immigration laws. If a person is convicted of a crime, they need to be deported, not released back into society. If they are, you are helping them commit a crime.
No one is saying "no immigrants", we're saying "no illegal immigrants". There's a difference.
