Calderon Threatens California
Secret Meetings Advance Conquest of Aztlan

The Threat: "The choice is between a future of integration and success for both, or a future of mistrust and resentment."
News Hour -- February 15
The Meetings
Jeffrey Kay: "Most of Calderon's meetings with officials in Los Angeles and earlier in New York, Boston, Chicago and Sacramento were behind closed doors, but a central purpose of the U.S. visit was to reach out to Mexicans and Mexican- Americans. And at invitation- only events they sought assurances from him."
Man: "We want to hear that we have one hundred percent support from him because we are helping a lot."
Kay: "...And while most countries use their consulate to issue visas, passports and to promote trade, Mexican consulates often act as both service centers and advocates for migrants."
