Aren't our Representatives in Congress supposed to be "public servants" and "representatives of the people"?

Why did they all decide to give a standing ovation to Calderon when he spoke in the meeting? Did they forget what country they live in and represent?

Update:

lol mother hubbard...are you suggesting we let all drugs in rather than fight them?

Update 2:

    The Progressives in Washington would rather screw over the American People while kissing the a$$es of world leaders. I wonder if that is in preparation of a one world government?

    In case you are unaware of the seating arrangements, that was all libs / democrats doing that 'standing ovation' thing. NO republican could be spotted standing and most weren't even clapping. Remember, these are the same ones that 'gave' us the health care bill, clearly against the majority wishes of the USA. The video was edited / carefully shot to make it 'look' like the whole place was standing, but the first gallery shot clearly shows the Republicans NOT reacting.

    They will do the same when the amnesty bill http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=1... is rammed down our throats just like health care.

    I guess when your Head Honcho is a multinational, you just accept anyone who wants to voice his or her opinion. Seriously bad. Maybe the Dems should invite all the foreign leaders and ask what their opinions of our laws are....Oh, they already do that.

    I know this is a bold statement, but even something this simple could really come back to bite the Democrats.

    It's called hospitality, tact, guilt, and shame.

    Mexico has been in chaos, largely as a direct result of the USA drug war, for decades.

    The Congress was expressing sympathy and support for one of their counterparts/victims.
