Applicants in the post of US President compete in Anti -Mexicanism, said the President of Mexico

Applicants for the post of US President compete in Anti -Mexicanism. This was regretfully stated by President of Mexico Felipe Calderon.

According to the head of the Latin American state, which is cited by ITAR-TASS, in the United States this problem exists in two planes: political and economic. “In the political sense, the Mexicans living in the United States have become hostages of the campaigns of applicants for the presidential post,” Calderon emphasized, representing the right -winging party “National Action”.

In recent days, the president noted, during the pre -election controversy in the United States there were several arguments that affect the interests of Mexico. “I see sympathy for the problem with the US authorities, in Congress, and its complete misunderstanding and a fierce reaction to it in North American society,” President Calderon added.

As for the economic difficulties of the United States, which respond in Mexico, which is their main trading partner, they, according to Felip Calderon, are a consequence of a mistaken policy. The United States "bypass the problem of the lack of competitiveness in the North American economy", being immersed in a "military adventure", and believe that "they can resolve it by closing the borders."

More than 11 million Mexicans live in the United States, and 6 million of them have no legal grounds. Every year, about 500 thousand residents of Mexico are illegally trying to cross the border with the United States.
