Three Mexican police kidnapped foreign immigrants to Mexico including a baby-complete failure of Calderon

It is a Mexican 'custom' to kidnap, beat and rob immigrants. Why did US elected representatives give Calderon a thunderous applause when he came to the US this year and criticized us? (Some who did so have recently been voted out of office). ed
