A Gratuitous Insult from the Mexican President

Ordinarily when a foreign leader visits the United States you can expect platitudes, not insults. Yet insults are what Americans got when Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto recently visited California.

The young (48) president, with what one biography touts as “movie-star good looks”, was on his first state visit to the United States since being sworn in as president of Mexico two years ago. His first and only stop was described, with no irony intended, as the “immigrant-friendly [state of] California”, where he held meetings with the state’s Democratic governor, Jerry Brown.

His two-day tour began with a speech, in Spanish, to Mexican immigrants in Los Angeles. And like any good Mexican president running for re-election, “he pledged to make life better for his countrymen living on both sides of the border.” Mexico considers its nationals Mexican regardless of where they live or their immigration status.

Interestingly, when the Mexican president met with members of “his community” before his speech, their reported concerns were (1) economic development in Mexico so that immigration could be “a choice, as opposed to a forced choice”, and (2) cartel violence. Mr. Nieto did not address a group of demonstrators outside his speech, “who said they were upset with his recent move to open Mexican oil and gas reserves to foreign and private investments.”

  1. Went directly to Cali? So that wasn’t a state visit in the classical sense?

    Did he bring Sgt. Tahmooressi with him? No?

    Throw his ass in jail and arrange a prisoner exchange.

  2. His cartel bosses only let him travel out of Mexico because, like Snake Pliskin, they’ve implanted an exploding chip in his skull they can detonate at the first wrong word.

    I have no idea if it’s true. But let’s see how fast it becomes an Internet meme.

  3. Jerry should mandate clear garbage bags should be placed at the curb. That way the mexicans can go window shopping instead of digging through dark garbage bins. It’s a humanitarian thing that will make lives better.
