President George W. Bush was likely to win support from President Vicente Fox That's actually good news. It makes the case that this is a big beautiful and expensive gift from the American taxpayers to the lazy-ass Mexican government that much easier to sell.
People are fed up with giving gifts to grifters.

Hey Jorge. We don't give a flying flip if some 3rd world noble agrees with you or not.

There are many five star resorts in Mexico, and many fine wealthy communities of homes, where wealthy Americans settle and retire or just have vacation homes.
Fox's strategy is to IMPORT wealth and EXPORT welfare.
Bush is IMPORTING welfare.
Fox wins. Bush loses.
America loses.

The only support I am waiting to hear is our President telling their President he will blow up, shock and awe .....oh wait I can't finish that sentence, never mind.
Forget I said anything or even thought about it......

Fox at talks on Mexico's Caribbean coast on Thursday. Fox will offer tighter border security and incentives to help bring illegal Mexican immigrants back home when the pair meet in the beach resort of Cancun, Mexican officials say.LOL. I suppose Mexico will adhere to these commitments the same way they have respected the water rights agreements along the border. Besides, they are about to elect a little Hugo Chavez there and he will repudiate anything Fox does in this regard.

Seal the border, don't let Bush back in!

Did anyone see Dick Morris on the O'Reilly Factor last night? Morris was saying that we have to prop up Fox because Chavez in Venezuela is funding Fox's opposition in Mexico, who is beginning to lead in the polls. If Fox loses, then Mexico turns hard-left and becomes a puppet of Chavez and Castro, and that will impact 40% of the USA oil supply.
Any concerns about that?

These people have no idea what backlash they are going to face. It's one thing to demonstrate. It's a whole other ballgame to demonstrate with foreign flags.
That's called an invasion.
To: Political Junkie Too
My concern is why it seems that everybody needing our support claims to supply us with 40% of our oil.

I've got big concerns about that. That's why I'm with the President on this. Someone said "Mexico is importing wealth and exporting welfare." This kind of thinking makes no sense to me. It's in America's interest for Mexico to become as wealthy as it can be, to raise the standard of living of all its citizens. As that happens, fewer Mexicans will want or need to move here.

Very nice platitudes.
Fox controls very little, if any, of Mexico's northern border.
The drug cartels are the ones really in control.
You only have to look at recent events in Nuevo Laredo to get the idea.

what's mexico going to do with that oil? drink it?
the current socio-economic and political structure in mexico is wholly corrupt - that's why its ripe for election of a leftist candidate. its a nation of oil and narco billionaries, with abject poverty and the lack of economic opportunity for its citizens. you know what, if they elected someone who would break that up - maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
To: Political Junkie Too
Any concerns about that?Nope. Let 'em go full-blown socialist. It would put a major crimp in the elites' plans to merge the continent EU-style.
But if for some reason we did feel the need to open the doors further to legal immigration from Mexico, that's still no excuse for not securing the border against illegal entry, and for granting amnesty (to any degree) to illegals already here.

Morris went on to say that it is a three-part issue: 1) Appease the base, 2) stop the Democrats, 3) support Fox. Morris says that a border wall is the simple solution to address all three.
Right now, Morris says the Democrats oppose the wall because they want the Hispanic voter base, even if it hurts America in the long run to have unsecured borders. To stop the wall, Democrats are supporting legislation to make a felony out of being here illegally. This is what started the latest outrage.
Morris says that a wall is enough to satisfy Bush's conservative base, and that Fox would accept a wall if it has a gate in it to allow guest workers to travel back and forth freely.
