Ain't THIS a B!tch:

Fox Optimistic U.S. Will Adopt Compromise Plan on Mexico Border

Mexican President Vicente Fox said he's optimistic the U.S. Congress will adopt a compromise immigration plan and reject the ``xenophobia'' of ``ultra-right wingers.''

Fox criticized President George W. Bush's plan to slow Mexican migrants -- who cross at a pace of about 1,400 a day -- by manning the border with 6,000 National Guard troops. Fox said a Senate plan endorsed by Bush to build a 350-mile wall along the border would be a waste of money.

``If we're going to reach an accord, the National Guard isn't necessary,'' Fox, 63, said in an interview on his presidential airplane yesterday. ``The 21st century is the century of immigration.''

Fox is seeking to defuse criticism from opponents in Mexico including presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador who say he hasn't reacted forcefully enough to the U.S. position.

He should be happy. He's gotten everything in the fix, and we've cured all of Mexico's social problems in the process.
