MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon says the United States is dumping criminals at the border because it is cheaper than prosecuting them, and he says that has helped fuel violence in Mexico.
Calderon also says some immigration laws in the U.S. are "absurd" and "irrational" because they hurt the American economy and help allow drug cartels to take over migrant trafficking.
Calderon told an immigration conference Thursday that net migration of Mexicans to the United States is approaching zero, as fewer people leave and more come back.
