U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo on Thursday accused Calderon of meddling in U.S. affairs, telling him he should focus on his country’s problems instead of “encouraging illegal immigration.” In a letter to the Mexican Embassy, the Colorado Republican criticized Calderon for telling the California Legislature
Wednesday that Mexico and the United States “will never find prosperity by closing their doors.”
“Unfortunately, your recent comments indicate that Mexico will continue its policy of encouraging illegal immigration and treating the United States as little more than a dumping ground for your social and economic problems,” Tancredo said, adding, “It is no secret that the purpose of your visit is to influence the American election.”
Tancredo ran on a strong anti-illegal immigration platform before abandoning his long-shot campaign for the GOP presidential nomination, saying he accomplished his goal of making other Republican candidates stand tougher on the issue.
Calderon arrived Sunday with a plan to make his voice heard in major U.S. cities at a time when both Republican and Democratic candidates are carefully calibrating their positions on hot-button issues such as the border wall, deportations, guest-worker programs and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.
Calderon has 66 percent job approval according to a poll in late January, and ministering to the 11 million Mexicans living in the United States helps maintain his popularity at home.
The Mexican president also made stops in New York, Massachusetts and Chicago. http://www.dailynews.com/breakingnews/ci…

Tom is the Greatest. Isn’t it crazy how the President of Mexico can come to America and lobby for Mexican’s Rights. Geez-only in America.
i think the guy lacks knowledge in International Politics… I also can not remember Calderon ever “encouraging” (by definition) immigration… in fact he just as Fox tried, want to make migration a matter of choice not need.. thats at least what they say in public.. but getting back to the Colorado guy, yeah he has no idea wtf is up
Tancredo is about the ONLY American politician with a backbone regarding the illegal invasion.
It was the greatest it is about time that someone without connections to Mexico as this administration evidently has stood up and told it like it is we should tell this Mexican president what Tom did and more, he should attend to his country and leave this one alone but i am sure that our fearless leader has already bought land for the Mexican president to have for a summer home here when he retires
I love this. Tom was the only one that I wanted to cast my vote for. It is too late now, but I have the utmost respect for the man.
Tancredo is a good man in the fight against the illegal alien invasion, but he wasn’t presidential material. Calderon is continuing the Mexican policy of la reconquista; the colonization of the USA by Mexico both through legal and illegal immigration.
