Fox Accepts Invitation to Bush Ranch

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) - Mexican President Vicente Fox on Monday accepted an invitation to visit President Bush's Texas ranch in March, another sign that the two leaders' sometimes rocky relationship is on the mend.
After Fox took office in 2001, he made Fox's ranch his first international trip. Both leaders, who share a love of cowboy boots and rural life, said they wanted to focus on strengthening relations.
But when Bush declined to halt the 2002 execution of a Mexican man accused of killing a police office, Fox protested by canceling a planned trip to Texas. Relations deteriorated further when Mexico refused to back the Iraq war.
Bush's recent proposal to allow more migrants to work legally in the United States appeared to bring the two nations closer together. Both Fox and Bush joked like old friends Monday during a meeting in Monterrey, Mexico.
It's unclear exactly what they will do or discuss in Texas on March 5-6, but one thing is nearly guaranteed: Fox will be bringing his cowboy boots.
Relations may be warming between Mexico and the United States, but Fox's spokesman didn't want people to get the wrong idea about Bush's daughter Jenna and Mexican first lady Marta Sahagun's son, Fernando Bribiesca.
Gutierrez said he wanted to prevent any media speculation by confirming that Fernando was ``just acting as an escort'' to Jenna. The two were seen sitting together and chatting in Monterrey during several summit events.
Jenna is a student at the University of Texas at Austin.
President Fox is conservative about more than just his federal budget.
After arriving in the northern city of Monterrey on Sunday for this week's Special Summit of the Americas, he and his wife attended Mass at the city's cathedral. On Monday, several newspapers criticized him for not giving money at the offering.
One headline in Milenio newspaper poked fun of Fox, saying, ``Austerity at Mass: Fox doesn't give offering.''
Fox spokesman Agustin Gutierrez said the president just didn't have money with him. ``Presidents and kings don't carry cash,'' he joked

Of course they understand.. all they have to do is to have read Fox's plan for Mexico in the 21st Century.. it's all there.
Disgusting race baiting Dane. Blackbird.
Someone put the DimRAT playbook on the internet?
In actuality putupon is the race baiter. He tries to smear all immigrants as violent criminals. Kinda of like what the liberals do to whites, who explain away crimes by balcks and hispanics, because it is the mean old white man's fault. Same coin different sides.
To me a violent criminal is a violent criminal is a vilolent criminal, no matter their race, color, or creed.
I don't know the stats (but if rember correctly, I did hear that 30% California's prison pop. were illegals), that is irrelevant. Numbers are what count; 1+1=2 everywhere in the world.
What I do know is if they all obeyed our laws and only came in legally, the wouldn't be criminals the minute the came across the border.
That applies to anybody of any race or ethnic group around the world.
It's not our fault that Mexico is a third world nation.
It is our fault that we don't care who comes across or not, and many who do have murdered, raped, and pillaged.
Besides that, it's flat out criminal that even if we weren't worried about crime or terrorism, the President wants to use the Power of Government to shake us down for a minimum of 345 billion with a B dollars over the next 20 years, and I would bitch about that, even if were for Swedish blonde hotties.
