We need to make a simple deal. For every working Mexican family we take, Mexico should take one of the following:

1. An elderly Palm Beach couple from Floriduh.
   
2. An enterprising group of hippies who'd like to start their own marijuana farm.
   
3. A eco-freak DINK couple from New England.
   
4. etc.

The cost of living is lower in Mexico and Americans should have the same right to move down there, buy property and otherwise live off the land as the Mexicans moving north. What would Mr. Fox say to such a proposal for reciprocity?

What would Mr. Fox say to such a proposal for reciprocity?

NO, no deal!

Absent the forced population transfer bit, I think Fox would be most receptive. Indeed, I think he has already stated that Mexico needs to overhaul its restrictive laws. Americans can live in Mexico now, although obtaining citizenship used to be most difficult. Americans can own land in Mexico except within 100 kilometers of the coast, where it must be held in a trust. The real problem is lack of reliable title insurance, and corrupt Mexican courts when it comes to land ownership.
