It seems that Felipe Calderon will keep the successful free-Calderontrade policies that Mexico had adopted since the 1980s, but especially embraced in the presidency of [[Vicente Fox]]. He is currently fighting a war against drug traffickers, is [[pro-life]], and he is a supporter of [[George W. Bush]] in Latin America. Calderon has promised to govern with a firm hand.
He has said he would push for a migration agreement with the US to legalese residency for Mexicans who have lived there for more than three years. Also he has outlined plans to tackle poverty, including public health services and education in poorer communities.
