Mexico's Pres. Trying To Keep Mexicans In Mexico
Yea -- right--Mexico's President Felipe Calderon is in California today and will unveil a plan he hopes will keep Mexicans in Mexico. Calderon's new plan to be unveiled in Sacramento today doesn't have anything to do with beefing up the border though. Calderon is traveling to the U.S. to try to reshape the immigration debate in the midst of the presidential campaign. He is not meeting personally with any of the presidential candidates, but he is urging them not to scapegoat immigrants. He arrived last night in Sacramento and had dinner with Governor Schwarzenegger. Today, President Calderon will address state lawmakers. That's when he's expected to detail plan to slow illegal immigration into the state. He's expected to announce that Mexico will be spending about $45 billion a year for the next four years to create jobs in Mexico so fleeing to California isn't as attractive. Those billions will build new airports, highways and ports all designed to create jobs for Mexicans. Posted by: Sherry 2008-02-13 |
