..."Mexico reaffirmed on Tuesday it would join the effort to bolster lackluster world prices by reducing its own exports by 100,000 barrels per day in the first half of 2002".....

This actually should read, "Mexico reaffirmed on Tuesday it would join the effort to bolster lackluster world prices by reducing its own exports by 100,000 barrels per day in the first half of 2002.in an effort to force Los Estatos Unidos to come to the table to establish the implementation date of the "General Amnesty Proposal", as written by Mexico. Said implementation date, of course, will be dependent upon how many more Mexican citizens can make it across the Los Estatos Unidos southern border to establish their illegal alien immigration status".

You're right, Rowdee. This isn't about "bolstering world prices;" this is a selfish attempt at extorting the USA so we will allow them to send us all of their "trash." Mexico has a variety of racial backgrounds, and the ones who come to California (and Texas?) are the Mestizo Indians, many of whom are totally illiterate in their OWN language, not to mention ours. They are unwanted in Mexico, and Mr. Fox is more than happy to send them to us.

True, some of them come here and excel, but most of them remain untrained, uneducated, unemployed, depending on welfare, and creating generation after generation of children who think that their "job" is signing up for welfare.
