Mexico hopes to convince President-Elect Obama to embrace open migration
Border Fire Report ^ | 11 November 2008

Posted on 11/11/2008 3:08:50 PM PST by 3AngelaD

Mexican Secretary of Exterior Relations, Patricia Espinosa Cantellano, said that when Barak Obama becomes president, Mexico will reassert its contention that his agenda include an immigration agreement as a priority...In a press conference, she assured that President Felipe Calderon is confident that with Obama’s presidency a migration agreement will finally be reached that permits both nations a flow of migration that is legal, safe and orderly.

Espinosa also said that the Mexican government hopes the US president-elect changes his position on the construction of the border fence. She pointed out that Calderon’s government will continue to raise the issue, respectfully but firmly, that the border fence does not correspond to the friendly relations and and the partnership that exists between Mexico and the US. Pointing out the contributions Mexicans make to the US economy and society that benefits both sides, she stated, “we hope that with the new administration we can continue working in the sense of the importance of the border becoming a common area of opportunities and that we concentrate on efforts that take us to better levels of well being.”

She added that, without a doubt, the big challenge is to succeed in delivering the message to the US people in order to obtain the consensus necessary to promote migratory reform.

If it's going to be legal, safe and orderly, why do they continue to oppose the fence? "Migratory reform" is another code phrase for amnesty.

How about if we adopt the “Mexico policy” and start treating them like they treat Guatemalans who they catch sneaking into Mexico. (here is a hint, they are not very nice to them)

Bad idea. With unemployment now skyrocketing, U.S. citizens are going to need to start doing all the jobs the illegal aliens want to do.

Look for the multi-trillion dollar bridge over the Atlantic to connect North America with Africa.

Well I just hope conservatives are done mourning before we join the next fight. It’s going to take all of us.

I would assume he won’t need much persuading on this. Though his union masters might not like it. Maybe this will be one of the issues that fractures the leftists (?).

Be interesting to see what O does on this matter.

Cheap illegal labor is not good for low wage black workers.

All the Mexicans join the unions. Ranks swell. Dues increase. Donks get rake off in campaign contributions. Everyone is happy.

I have a circa 1850 USA history book. It predicted that Mexico would be part of the USA by 1900.

Does this mean that US citizens will soon be able to buy land in Mexico within proximity to the border or coastline without the use of a Fidelcomiso?

Blacks and Hispanics and low wage workers all voted enthusiastically for zerO. BTW, they are *foreign nationals*, now. Minimum wage will be $10/hr and all union scale will increase. Good luck if you are a Caucasian worker who hasn’t yet joined the union. It is their turn, now.
