Calderon Praises Obama for Deportation Shift 
---------------------------------------------


 
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."
