Mexican President Felipe Calderon projects an antihero image that contrasts sharply with the populist Presidents in Latin America [March 19]. It means that there is hope for Mexico to achieve social and economic growth without ruining its future. Rogelio Pardo-Evans, SAN JOSÉ, COSTA RICA...
Your report noted that Calderon wants to work with the U.S. to create jobs for rural Mexicans. As a legal immigrant to the U.S., I am sad that both the U.S. and Mexico exploit laborers who are desperate for jobs.

...Bautista's homecoming is a small but important victory in the battle to curb illegal immigration - not at the border, but at its source in the dusty recesses of impoverished rural Mexico. The nation's massive labor migration - what President Felipe Calderon calls his country's "open wound" - was a top agenda item during his recent meeting with President George W. Bush.

...moment, a few is all the U.S. is picking up. That was uncomfortably apparent in Mexico, home to a conservative new President, Felipe Calderon, whom Bush was counting on for his warmest reception. What he got instead was a tense tour finale. Bush apparently hadn't read many of Calderon's remarks in the months and weeks leading up to their Yucatan summit this week - such as his comparing a Bush-approved, 700-mile-long border fence to the Berlin Wall, or calling the illegal immigration issue an "open wound" for U.S.-Mexico relations. Calderon defeated his own left-wing...
