MERIDA, Mexico — President Bush, seeking to rebuild ties with Mexico, pledged Wednesday to intensify efforts to overhaul U.S. immigration laws and crack down on illegal drug trafficking.

Bush said that he senses there has been a change of attitudes in Congress about updating immigration laws, from skepticism last year to recognition now that changes are in U.S. interests.

"I will work with Congress, members of both political parties, to pass immigration law that will enable us to respect the rule of law -- and at the same time, respect humanity," Bush said in a news conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Bush, facing a huge fight within his own party for his immigration plan, called it an important but sensitive issue. "I say important because a good migration law will help both economies and will help the security of both countries," Bush said. "If people can come into our country, for example, on a temporary basis to work, doing jobs Americans aren't doing, they won't have to sneak across the border."

"There are strong protectionist sentiments in the United States," Bush said. "I will work, Mr. President to reject those blah blah blah"

We have a free trade treaty with Mexico.

When Bush talks "protection" here that's a message for the "free marketeers" that he will pursue a wage depression policy no matter what.

Elite globalists like Bush are not unhappy with seeing American lifestyles sink to those of Mexico.

The ironic thing is the Democrats in the past would have beat him on this issue, but today they are the same class, same elite, with the addition of being called racist.

Bush also said this:

"I say important because a good migration law will help both economies and will help the security of both countries," Bush said. "If people can come into our country, for example, on a temporary basis to work, doing jobs Americans aren't doing, they won't have to sneak across the border."

He never mentioned all the anchor babies that Americans are FORCED to pay for.

Did you see the reporter ask Calderon if the reports were true that Calderon has relatives illegally living in the US? He admitted that he has relatives living here but he dodged the whole "illegal" part. It was incredible. The president of Mexico admitting that his relatives have invaded America while standing on the same stage as President Bush.

I don't understand Bush and regret that I voted for him.

Hooooollld the phone. It was either McCain, Gore, Kerry, or W. I'd vote for him again tomorrow given those choices.

Maybe it's time to give Mexico a good kick in the pants and tell it to shape up and quit parasiting us.

"Is this really all about oil for the U.S. in exchange for ILLEGALS to pump up Mexico's economy?"

Why, are we getting free oil?

It's a wage depression policy. Class warfare on the middle and lower American classes? Can it be more obvious?

It is rediculous that Bush is taking from Americans and giving to Mexicans what is not his to give. I could care less about his philosophy.

Yes it is insanity, but that's what you'll get from a large Fed govt. 99% of the time.

I guess the wishes of 80% of Mexicans are more important than the wishes of 80% of Americans. ¡Sí se puéde!
