Mexican president lays out demands for immigration reform before U.S. visit

President Vicente Fox said Monday that Mexico wanted work visas, legalization and family reunification for undocumented migrants, but stopped short of calling for U.S. citizenship for them.

Speaking to reporters on the eve of his Nov. 4-6 visit to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, Fox said immigration issues will be on the agenda of his visit, but that trade and economic issues will also be discussed.

Isn't this the same Vicente Fox that's turned his back on the USA on numerous occasions when his support would've been welcomed by our fedgov in disputes with the UN & other int'l issues?

F*#!@ YOU !!!!!

Bush's response. "SIR YES SIR!!!"

What Bush should say. "Screw You"

[riri]

You know, I used to think the writings of Sherman Skolnick were delusional, crazy, wildly imaginitive.

Recently, I have read from him that Fox has the goods on the Bush and family and basically Bush will follow his lead for fear of exposing some dark secret or another.

Please tell me if anything else can explain this insanity?

"We need for the families of those who already are there to be able to get together their relatives ... and organize a flow of people who go each year for temporary work, or permanent work, without the need to become U.S. citizens."

What the heck does this mean? Organize a flow of people? They are already flowing. What does he want, rental cars and cell phones? I don't think I have the same views regarding working illegals as many do here, but when Fox starts believing that he is in a position to dictate and demand, I may have to abandon my views on solutions to the current problem.

[Legerdemain]

I'm sure our President will straighten him out, but good! ;-)

What are you talking about......I guaruntee Bush is going to sing any legislation that crosses his desk to legalize all the illegals.......sheesh

[CPT Clay]

Mr. Fox;
I demand that Mexicans stop taking cuts in front of immigrants who follow the law!!

I demand that you relax property ownership laws so US citizens can retire in your country.
I am tired of paying more than a dollar a gallon for gasoline. I demand that you produce more oil and sell it to the united states!!!

Where's Winfield Scott when we need him?

US to Fox, stay home!
Or maybe he could make his point by sneaking into America.

To the rear, March!

I really fear and expect Bush to sell us down the river on this. And it's all political. He thinks the Mexicans who can vote will be so grateful to him that they will vote for him and his party. Wrong. Latins mostly vote liberal (socialist). Interestingly enough though, more than 50% of those Mexicans with U.S. citizenship in California voted against Gray. The reason for this is that they went the legal route to get their legal papers. This takes many years and tons of paperwork and, therefore, they have no sympathy for those wetbacks.

He must have something on everyone in Congress. How else to explain their support of Orrin Hatch's "Dream Act"?

Should have been named "Taxpayers Nightmare"

...working illegals...

The problem is not that they're working.

The problem is excessive use of government services compared to the tax revenue generated, a refusal to assimilate, the dramatic growth of crime and gang activity by their dropouts (~50%), the large number of illegal drivers who have no insurance and flee accidents, ad nauseum.

No, working is not the problem.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Your right...except I believe he would better understand "jodete." The same could be said to Bush if he sticks this to us.
