Rough Greeting
Mexican protesters greeting President Calderon when he stopped by Chicago. They pleaded for him to fight for greater benefits for illegal immigrants and better service at the Mexican Consulates. They also reject privatization of Pemex (an oil enterprise owned by Mexico State). Many protesters indicated their support for Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (the leftist candidate who barely lost the presidential election in 2006).
