Fox: Mexico will not permit violations of the human rights of Mexicans who live in the United States
Office of the President of Mexico ^ | June 16, 2004 | Unknown

Posted on 06/17/2004 2:57:13 PM PDT by primeval patriot

The government of Mexico will not permit violations of the human and labor rights of Mexicans living in the United States, said Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada, stressing that, "we will stand beside every Mexican woman and man in this country, we will defend them against the raids being carried out in the state of California."

He reaffirmed his commitment to continue to support the Mexicans and Mexican Americans who live and work with dignity and productivity, because they, he said, make a great contribution to the United States economy. "They are loyal, and respectful of this society and this country that has received them."

On his first working day in the United States, Mr. Fox made important announcements for the Mexican community living in various places in this country.

These include the scale of investments made in Mexican consulates in the United States and reinvestment in places of origin of income from fees for the issue of consular matriculation cards or other services provided.

In addition, he told Mexicans living in the United States that, "we have not reduced our expectations and our struggle to finally reach an immigration agreement beneficial to the communities of both countries and so that we -through it, in an orderly manner, in an effective manner- can drive the development of our two countries more and more."

Mr. Fox acknowledged that it has still not been possible to crystallize that goal, "but I assure you that we continue to struggle every day with the same purpose and that we are trying, every day, to resolve each of the demands that you have put forward."

Evidence of that, he said, is the fact that the consular matriculation card is now broadly accepted in many states and now is not only useful as an identity document, but to carry out other operations.

Speaking before the Mexican community gathered in the new facilities of the Mexican consulate in this city, the federal executive announced that the governments of Mexico and the United States are working to unify criteria in the standardization of their Social Security Systems.

This system, he explained, will enable a person from Mexico or from this country to make savings, a retirement and pension plan through a single account. "Working here or working there will count just the same, there will be equal access to the same rights, in health, in retirements, in pensions, in housing, and in savings".

He informed that the Mexican consulate in Chicago has already opened more than 50 community plazas, associated with the local government, which provide educational services ranging from primary and secondary education through to diplomas and university degrees.

He also highlighted the extension of the Three for One Program, "by way of which members or groups in the Mexican community who want to invest in their community, for every dollar they send there, another two dollars are added: one by the federal government and one by the state and municipal governments."

"That saving, that investment can be used for basic infrastructure in the community, in their community; or it can be used for production projects, your own enterprises, that will have that support of two additional dollars for each dollar."

At the meeting, the chief of the federal executive acknowledged that there have been budgetary shortages and that there is greater demand for this program than what is available with the budget, " but we have been growing it and by next year we are going to continue to increase this amount greatly, to be able to carry on working as a team."

He announced that in the city of Chicago the services of a community liaison center will be provided, " through which we want to have a greater closeness. In that center we want to permanently offer consular protection, financial education, preventive health services, and other rights and other programs."

In the morning, President Vicente Fox held a meeting with Don Michael Randel, the president of the University of Chicago, at which he highlighted this educational institution's interest in research into and the history of Mexico.

He acknowledged Dr. Friedrich Katz for his research into Mexico. In his remarks he said that, "he has also followed closely the delicate process of transition that my country is undergoing today; our struggles to eliminate traces of authoritarianism; to consolidate an efficient democracy; to overcome poverty and discrimination, and to provide all Mexicans with better opportunities in health care, education, employment, justice, and well-being."

President Fox's agenda also included meetings with the mayor of the city of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, with editorial advisors of various Chicago media, and with the president of Whirlpool, Jeff Fetting.

President Fox and his wife, Marta Sahagún de Fox, were honored with a dinner given by members of the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce.

If it is a true report of a statement from a Mexican official then, it is a statement of such a nature that a real government would immediately protest. However, America has no real government. The so called leadership are mere interest jugglers. The so called leadership is deeply interested in taxpayer supported booze, drugs, women(or pleasure boys), fine food, pensions and the pomp and circumstance of public office. The citizens had better start thinking of intervening.

Why do our leaders stand in silence in the face of these continued, brutal attack on our borders, our sovereignty, and now more threats on our country?

Probably because this means more than their oath to protect and defend the constitution.

Comment: Oh, my children we are soon to be the Czechoslovakia Bosnia of the 21st century. Diversity is so wonderful! Mexicans have their rights. This statement is an example of how those rights shall be used.

That's more like it.

What? Now we have to put up with this idiot head of a country that doesn't know the meaning of of the words: human rights? Why does he think they risk life and limb to get here?

It's time for GWB to tell Fox and Chirac to shut their pie holes.

Sounds like one big conspiracy. We are screwed- Both Kerry and Bush are Pro illegal immigration so any way you vote- is still a vote for illegal immigration.

I won't argue. However, I am from the time of Czechoslovakia and it's fate is more embedded in my mind. Bosnia, Czechoslovakia both "...bastard nations whose fate is in the hands of others!..." Now America.

Please be aware, I am not criticizing your father. But I believe he was wrong. It looks to me like Mexico has annexed the US with no problems at all. We have no leadership in Washington when a foreign leader can come into our country and demand that we change our laws to assist his nationals. Fox will force our laws to be changed so money will go to Mexico. There will probably be no more raids by the Border Patrol in the US.

What else could it be?

The crime, the economic strain to our social services, schools, jails, etc, the across the board nationwide lawlessness, fraud, etc, as the leader of Mexico, and his people, laugh in our faces and literally use our laws and our sovereignty as toilet paper.

And what do the American people get besides being forced to pay for all of this? Leaders that stand in complete silence.

And it's all happening in our lifetime. Amazing how fast the changes are going down.

You will defend them? You will not permit it?

We just emailed this to the White House and our representatives. Anyone want to bet that any of our elected representatives will come out of hiding and say one single solitary word in defense of our country?

We are watching the destruction of the US with the Republican Party in charge.This makes you yearn for Ronald Reagan. For some reason, I don't think he would have let our country get in this shape. He respected the American people. Also, Dwight Eisenhower would not have let this happen.

Their silence is deafening. Doing nothing is the same as condoning it.
