“Mexican President Felipe Calderon arrived in Chicago Tuesday morning and was en route to McCormick Place, where officials said he’ll meet with Mayor Richard Daley, Gov. Rod Blagojevich and other leaders as part of a four-day U.S. tour meant to strengthen economic ties and muster support for immigration reform.

Arriving shortly before 9:30 a.m. from Boston, where he pleaded on Monday against “anti-Mexican” sentiments in the U.S. over illegal immigration, Calderon will likely face some protests from local Mexican groups and others who have been critical of his government.”*
