I wonder if he read it or heard about it like our Attorney General

The following is a clip from the news today talking about the Mexican President's visit to our Congress:

"The Mexican leader also told lawmakers reluctant to take up the immigration issue this year that comprehensive immigration reform is crucial to securing the two countries' common border.
Calderon, the first foreign national leader to address Congress this year, said he strongly disagrees with the Arizona law that requires police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
"It is a law that not only ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree but also introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement," he said to cheers, mainly from the Democratic side of the chamber."

Huh?

It is wrong for police to ask people to show that they are in the country legally? Has anyone ever been to Mexico? Seen their police in action? He was on a visit to the President of the US, not the Governor of the sovereign state of Arizona. The people of Arizona, not the people of the US chose this direction, largely because of the failed policies of the federal government whose job it is to manage immigration, whose failed policies are directly threatening the people of Arizona. A law that ignores a reality? I think not. It looks to me like it actually recognizes a reality.
