ShareThis May 19, 2010 2:30 p.m. EST Topics: drug trafficking, politics, economy, business and finance, crime, economy, international relations, diplomacy, crime, law and justice, United States Tejinder Singh - AHN News Correspondent Washington, DC, United States (AHN) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon and U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday attacked Arizona's controversial immigration law, with Calderon calling it discriminatory and Obama pushing for national immigration reform. Obama joined the Mexican president in addressing the law, saying, “a fair reading of Arizona law reveals the possibility of illegal harassment.” “I am supportive of a comprehensive immigration reform,” Obama said, cautioning, ”reforms should not happen unilaterally, but working with the Mexican government.” Obama called for measures “to fix our broken immigration system,” and reaffirmed his desire to work with Congress to "make rules.” “We haven’t done enough to stem illegal immigration,” said Obama, adding, “I have got to have some support from Republicans on immigration reform.” The Arizona law is a “misdirected expression of frustration,” said Obama, while Calderon called it “discriminatory.” At a joint press conference with Calderon, Obama told journalists, “illegal immigration is down and not up during his (Calderon's) administration,” adding that they “agreed to continue working aggressively.” Obama reiterated his position of giving an opportunity to illegals already in the United States, saying, “illegals should have a way if they’re following the law to become legal.” Obama said the two countries are moving with “mutual respect and mutual responsibility,” to address common challenges facing both nations in the field of border security and immigration, trade and education. On the border debate, Obama reaffirmed a commitment to border security, noting that, “over 80 percent of trade passes over our land border,” and stressed that “our shared border must be an engine and not a brake on our trade.” Drug wars are not just a problem in Mexico, said Obama, adding, that U.S. demand for drugs helps to drive Mexico drug wars. In a joint statement issued later by the White House, the presidents said, “To spur further advancements in creating a modern, secure, and efficient border, the presidents directed their respective cabinets to form a bilateral executive steering committee, with appropriate representatives from each government, to implement a declaration on 21st Century Border Management, that will be released later today, to help make the 21st Century Border a reality,” hoping, “It will include a first-ever binational 24-month plan of action to improve cross-border trade and travel.” Both leaders agreed to “strengthen the protection of intellectual property,” Obama told journalists, adding that the countries would expand high school and college exchange program. Noting that the protection of intellectual property rights "is essential to promote such innovation and investment,” the presidents in their written joint statement charged their administrations "to work together to formalize and expand the efforts of the existing bilateral Intellectual Property Rights Working Group.” The efforts will include industry training of small and medium size enterprises, work between the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property and the United States Patent and Trademark Office to streamline patent reviews, and collaboration among law enforcement agencies to enforce intellectual property rights more effectively. Calderon told journalists that he discussed NAFTA issues with Obama.
