Fox Laments 'Stalled' Relations Between U.S., Mexico

MEXICO CITY, May 9 -- President Vicente Fox said tonight that progress in relations with the United States has "stalled" and that Washington's failure to deliver concrete results on immigration reform is undermining his credibility at home.

In a speech in New York to the Council of the Americas, a U.S. business organization concerned with hemispheric issues, Fox said he and President Bush have set a positive new tone in relations. But he argued that by now, 18 months after he took office, Washington should have adopted some fundamental changes in its immigration policies, including an increased number of permanent visas for Mexicans and legal status for at least some of the 3 million to 4 million undocumented Mexicans living in the United States.

Hey Fox, tu amigo Bush is in the same boat. Bush has lost all of his credibility with these sneaky, sloppy attempts to help you keep your dirty campaign promises, too.

Looks like both you babies are being thrown out with the bath water, together, in the next election cycles. You can both float down the Rio Grande and out into the Gulf of Mexico for all we care.

Bon voyage, pobrecito!

Wanna bet that this issue will be resurrected soon...and Americans will get the shaft....although 75% of Americans do not want illegals granted amnesty your "Two-Party Cartel" will do what its puppetiers tell them...and you will vote them back in at a 98% factor...then you try to convence me that your vote counts....hello!

Funny how Mr. Fox disappeared suddenly after 9/11...he wants the US to do so much for his illegal aliens, but this isn't a one way street.

I have the solution to the Mexico American Debacle. We annex Mexico, and make it the 51st Welfare state. We do that, and then start running Mexico, the way our government runs America. We wipe out their government, and give them limited representation. We tax them the way we are taxed. We build businesses and factories there. Mexicans have no desire to run into our country because their country is like ours. Our corporations who have used Mexico as a tax shelter then pays it's share of taxes. Mexico ceases to be a poverty state. Mexico becomes a productive mature society and we help develop and cultivate their natural resources.

America has no oil shortages, and we become less dependent on foreign resources. Plus we can stop worrying about illegal immigration, as Mexico will be just another version of all of the welfare states we already have. We can watch Vincente Fox stop posturing so his country affects the way the rest of us live. Annex Mexico, that's what I say. Whether by peace of Military Coup.

bttt

What are we? "By military coup" you say, to annex Mexico???

[FreedomFriend]

What a bunch of garbage.

Hey, Vicente, does U.S. Sovereignty mean anything to you? Would you like to debate the issue, you globalist?

If you ask me, this immigration free for all is proceeding at lightning speed.

Personally i think that imbecile Fox and his entourage of commies should be deemed personas non grata and banned from the country. Here the jerk based his entire campaign on making promises of dumping millions of his uneducated, unskilled nationals off on the U.S. with the intention of strip-mining the place.... nevermind that the vast majority of Americans want nothing to do with that corruption- ridden nest of snakes down south.... and he doesn't get his wish. That's between him and his citizens, not between him and us. We didn't elect the Coca-Cola huckster. He deserves whatever he gets.... which I hope is the boot. All those Mexican politicians want to do is meddle in our affairs, so it seems. Boink 'em all.

[MadRobotArtist]

Yes, if necessary. I figure it would make things even between our citizenry, and the reconquistas coming into our country every day illegally. We also have incursions on our soil by armed Mexican soliders every day. If we annex Mexico, and make it part of our country, they'd have to live by our laws, our standards, and our taxes. Then they could be Americans, We could dictate to them how THEY live, instead of them doing it to our country.

It's just an idea on a boring Friday.

Leader Says His Credibility Is Being Undermined by Bush's Failure to Speed Immigration Reform

Boo friggen Hoo. Looks like you'll have to actually start leading rather than pretending to be president while expecting another quick fix from Uncle Sucker.

[capitoltex]

Maybe if Mexico would honor its obligations under the 1944 water treaty, things would be smoother.

There's not enough natural resources in Mexico to make it worth the aggravation of having an additional 60 million Marxists/Socialists, looking for handouts, in our country. Their natural resources will be exhausted someday and then how do we support the little Bolshevics?

Militarize the borders and deport all the illegal aliens, ASAP. Let them solve their own country's problems instead of causing problems, here.

Mexico: Gov't seeks bus company bids to deport illegals To transfer the foreign undocumented workers detained throughout the country, the National Migration Institute [INM] put out a call for bids for at least 8,200 bus trips between June and December of this year, an average of 40 trips per day. -- The Institute has 235 routes established to transport undocumented workers to the detention centers where they are kept until their legal situations are reviewed.

I was being fecesious. I'd like nothing more than to put a wall up between Mexico, and us. I hate the fact that I had to learn Spanish to order a meal at McDonald's. I'll have the Grande Coca-Cola, with my Grande Mac, Con queso...

[Brownie74]

A boinking bump.

Fox knows the more of his people that he can get in this country the more he can influence this country's polices. That's why he push's us to allow more immigrants. Sort of a friendly invasion.

It's a new tactic that is being used against democracies around the world. That is why these nations need to control their borders and have good strong conservative immigration laws.

In other words you flood a country with your people and take it over by numbers. It works with democractic governments because you take it over at the voting booths. You don't need a majority just a big enough block to be a swing vote and to entice politicians to cater to.
