Obama’s visit to Mexico for the G20 summit comes days after he announced a new executive order stopping the deportation of many undocumented youths. At a separate meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderón on Monday, Calderón praised Obama’s move.
Mexican President Felipe Calderón: “I would like to thank personally, and on behalf of the Mexican nation, President Barack Obama for his valuable decision. We believe that this is very just. It’s a humanitarian action. And it’s an unprecedented action.”
