| 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. |
It's hypocrisy and a double standard the illegal alien apologists never want to talk about.
Similarities certainly exists. The Aztlanders - reconquistadors - see themselves as brothers-in-arms with the "Palestinians" and their cause. (The Aztlan.org website keeps a close eye on the situation in the Middle East). But the Mexcians are doing it right, focusing on overwhelming their opponent demographically rather than resorting to suicide/homicide bombing.
The other thing "disgusting" is your ignorance. How exactly do we "abuse" them? By giving them free education, health care, and food stamps? If they're so "abused" they why don't they go back to their third-world hellhole? Answer: Because not only are they not abused in the slightest, they've never had it better in their wildest dreams.
Somehow I find this more upsetting today than I did yesterday. Perhaps it is because the government confiscated half of todays paycheck so we can provide these illegals with free education and health care so they vote for the Democrats that engineer the public teet to ensure a majority.
Btw, Jorge. I assure you that the U.S. President would take issue with Fox's ridiculous assertion that illegal aliens are being abused in this country. Do you believe the President of Mexico or the President of the U.S? Who exactly is your President, Jorge?
I think I'm going to throw up.... what a jerk! Hey Fox, if you care about your people so much, then keep them in thier own damm country.... Hey, Fox, your peole DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THIS OCUNTRY, THEY ARE NOTHING BUT A bunch of PARASITES, liveing off American tax payers....! And I for one am sick of it!
That question will go unanswered.....
My bad. I sit corrected.
Im speechless, Joe. Ive "Hadenuf".
LOL!! What would his armoured divisions consist of? Three armadillos and two Mexicans selling paletas? Why does Bush even associate with this fruit loop?
Fine, Mr. Fox. Welcome them back home.
I didn't see this before. I can't add anything that hasn't already been said, but this statement is truly unbelievable.
on kfyi today they said that 3,000 mexicans get past the border patrol a day!
go home!
Thanks all for the replies!
So, only Mexicans in Mexico have the privilege of violating Mexicans' human rights, eh Vicente?
Message to Fox and his illegals: GET OUT!! The Country is FULL, BEAT IT!!!
Actually it's not. I lived in South FLA for 11 years and personally knew many illegal aleins who were abused, taken advantage of and exploited.
Everybody knows these stories.
Some even kept as virtual slaves under the threat of turning them over to immigration.
Jobs Americans won't do.
