SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico -- Hundreds of protestors forced their way into President Vicente Fox's private ranch Saturday to demand compensation for Mexicans who worked in the United States during and after World War II.
The crowd pushed past guards at a service entrance to the ranch, located in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, but no further violence was reported. Leaders of the protest group were allowed to enter a residence on the property to meet with members of the presidents family.

The people of Mexico should rise up and seek more freedom, not less.
