SACRAMENTO, United States (AFP) - Mexican President Vicente Fox called the immigration reform bill passed by the US Senate "a monumental step forward" in a special address to the California legislature.
"It is a moment millions of families have waited for, a moment millions of people have been working for," Fox said to applause in a joint session of the California state assembly and senate in the capital city of Sacramento.
"Today's historic vote is a monumental step forward, but we realize there is more debate ahead," he said, shortly after the US Senate passed an immigration bill that would allow many of the millions of Mexican workers in the United States illegally to remain.
The impassioned close to Fox's speech prompted a standing ovation from legislators, who had applauded intermittently during his appearance.

Mayor resurrects office to assist immigrants regardless of status
BY KERRY CAVANAUGH, Staff Writer
Angering groups backing a crackdown on illegal immigration, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will revive a city office that helps new arrivals to Los Angeles get municipal services and participate in civic life without regard to their legal status.
The mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs has been inactive for a year but the Villaraigosa administration, noting more than 40 percent of the city's residents are foreign-born, said the service is needed to inform immigrants about city laws and how City Hall works.
"It's a service not just to immigrants but the rest of the community," said Thomas Saenz, counsel to Villaraigosa. "We're making sure we have common community connections and common understanding of civic life."
The office was created in 2004 by then-Mayor James Hahn and approved by the City Council, using $125,000 in federal funds. Political consultant and Planned Parenthood executive Nora E. Vargas was hired to head the office but left within a year.
Hahn didn't seek funding in the 2005 budget and the office disappeared.
But Villaraigosa, who defeated Hahn last year, now intends to jump-start the operation, using staffers from his office and the city's Human Relations Commission. A start-up date has not been set.
Officials said Villaraigosa began planning the renewed operation before immigration reform became a national issue and before hundreds of thousands of Angelenos took to the streets demanding expanded rights for illegal immigrants.

The MSM is pushing the hell out of the immigration bill. The AP story, which is similiar to the link you posted had this little comment:
"The timing of the visit - as the U.S. Senate approved the most far-reaching immigration reforms in two decades - is awkward for the Mexican president."
Yeah right....that is exactly why he is here you lame brains.
And none of the good citizens of Los Angeles will recall that traitor.
LOL he's got an F as of May 23, 2006
We must by all means help the illegal invasion anyway we can./sarcasm
As I posted on another thread, why don't we just let the whole world in here and let God sort it out!
