Mexico to US: Do as we say, not as we do



Wolf Blitzer actually presses Mexican President Felipe Calderon on his nation's blatant hypocrisy. Calderon tries to evade the fact that Mexico kicks out illegal immigrants, but Wolf pushes the pedal to the metal and gets Calderon to admit the truth. Real journalism! Miracles and wonders!



WOLF BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?



CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal



precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually...



BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?



CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you? And if they explain...



BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.



CALDERON: Yes.



BLITZER: But once they're in...



CALDERON: But not -- but not in -- if -- once they are inside the -- inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico.



BLITZER: Immigration is not a crime, you're saying?



CALDERON: It's not a crime.



BLITZER: So in other words, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America, through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job...



CALDERON: No, no.



BLITZER: They can work.



CALDERON: If -- if somebody do that without permission, we send back -- we send back them.



BLITZER: You find them and you send them back?



CALDERON: Yes.
