GEORGE GEDDA, Associated Press Writer Friday, September 5, 2003 ---------------------------------------- (09-05) 18:42 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Colin Powell said Friday after a meeting with Mexico's foreign minister that he believes progress may be possible in resolving long-standing differences with Mexico on immigration issues. Powell said that at November meetings with Mexican officials, the United States plans to offer ideas that "will demonstrate to the Mexican people and to Americans that we are serious about resolving immigration issues." Powell's meeting with Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez also covered the administration proposal for a new U.N.

Mexico wants the United States to grant them legal status, but many in Congress believe that would reward people who broke the law. With Powell at his side after a 40-minute meeting, Derbez noted to reporters that migration reform legislation is pending. "We may get results slowly but surely," he said.
There are actually 4 million Illegals in California alone, at a minimum.
