What else did he mean then? He opened his big yap and out came the TRUTH of what's in his heart and also his agenda. I'll not hold my breath for a word from Bush though.

[freeangel]

OOOhh--Fox better get ready to run. Jesse jackson is hot on his tail.

[American_Centurion]

Will Jesse HiJackson be on the next thing smokin' to Mexico City?

I think he's afraid to. Come on Jesse, prove me wrong!

[keats5]

Send Condi down to him. He needs to be straightened out.

"Fox's spokesman, Ruben Aguilar, said Mexican and foreign news media have misinterpreted the remark as a racial slur."

'Mis-interpreted' my eye. He said what he meant and he meant to say it.

In the words of the late Jim Healy, Fox is a "J-E-R-Q-U-E".

[Dallas59]

Heh...Jesse ain't touching this one.

[GrandEagle]

would clarify the remarks if they have a chance

Seemed pretty clear to me.
Maybe this will aggravate our citizens enough that they will demand that our government control our southern border. Hopefully this will eliminate some of the "good will" extended to Mr. Fox.

Cordially,
GE

Just damn ping.

Fox is a racist european messican......thats why he is so anxious to unload the aboriginal mexicans onto the US......you don't see european-Mexicans hopping the border, do you?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

People need to realize that there's some sort of friendly, at times testy, rivalry going on between blacks and Mexicans. Fox's comments doesn't surprise me, as the lack of outrage among blacks makes it evident.

Oh, yes, be sure to get the lefty archbishop's comments in there. The church is the lapdog of the state in Mexico, and keeping the 24 families of the elite happy is crucial. As for the millions of peasants, the message is, "We breed. You feed."

[American_Centurion]

Got that right.

[TFine80]

Well, in LA, getting testy sometimes involves assault weapons...

[Leg Olam]

"a country where blackface comedy is still considered funny and nicknames often reflect skin color."

That's Mexico alright. A persons place in society is often determined by how much 'Spanish' ancestry there is compared to native or 'Indian'.

[kellynla]

as usual the term "illegal alien" is totally ignored in this piece...

Fox has no problem securing his southern border but all the problems in the world with his northern border being secured...
can we say "hipocrita?"

[rdb3]

Probably nothing will come out of this. But what surprised me on other threads concerning Fox's initial statement was not outrage that a foreign dignitary slandered citizens of the United States, but rather agreement and further slandering.

Crazy times around here, these.

[lilylangtree]

Just what I was thinking too. Also, where's Al "Sleeze" Sharpton, Louis "The Bigot" Farrakhan, or the Congressional "Holier than Thou" Black Caucus?

[TexasCajun]

I never thought of it before, but I never do see a "Black" lawn crew, regardless of what part of town I'm in!

Same goes for any other labor-intensive job!

So maybe there is truth in what Fox says, but that doesn't mean I support open borders!
