Mexican President Felipe Calderon’s first trip to the United States next week is a high-stakes effort to shape the immigration debate during the U.S. presidential race.
Calderon won’t meet U.S. President George W. Bush or any of his would-be successors, but will make his voice heard in major U.S. cities at a time when both Republican and Democratic candidates are carefully calibrating their positions on hot-button issues such as the border wall, deportations, guest-worker programs and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants.
In hundreds of communities around the United States, many undocumented Mexican migrants who have raised families and built careers in the United States are faced with a much bleaker future as federal, state and local governments crack down. And the election year isn’t helping, according to Calderon, who has accused the U.S. presidential candidates of using migrants as “symbolic hostages in their speeches and strategies.”"*
