MEXICO CITY - As the U.S. Senate focuses this week on the issue of illegal immigration, Mexico has launched a campaign to convince Americans that it will do more to stop the flow of undocumented workers into the United States and prevent violence along the border.
U.S. officials have praised the Mexican overtures, which include the adoption and publishing of a new immigration policy that calls for creation of economic and housing programs that would lure Mexican workers back home and an accord to better cooperate with U.S. officials on quickly responding to border crime.
While skeptics note that some of the promises clash with Mexico's long-held positions and actions, U.S. and Mexican officials say the moves reflect a rare public commitment by Mexican authorities to accept responsibility for the root causes of illegal immigration and take steps to prevent it.
The Mexican government is working toward the same goal as the Bush administration: a guest-worker program that would regulate the undocumented immigrants already in the United States and the half-million Mexicans who cross the border illegally each year. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Monday whether to approve such a bill and send it to the full Senate.
Many congressional Republicans instead favor legislation approved in the House in December that focuses only on tougher border enforcement. That legislation would extend border fences, speed deportations, make illegal immigration a felony and crack down on those who employ illegal immigrants and assist them.

Since all these people are waving and glorifying the Mexican Flag, maybe it is Mexico and Fox they need to whine to for food stamps and welfare checks.
Why not demand Fox give them jobs or he be impeached?
As for "their homeland," have they forgotten Cortez? Did he not invade Mexico long ago and claim it for Spain? It would appear to me their "homeland" may just be more Spain than the indigenous Indians Cortez and his cohorts conquered.
They are not "undocumented". They have plenty of documents i.e. fake passports, fake driver's licenses, fake social security #'s...
ABAJO ZORO
What they want is an infusion of American dollars in the form of remittances, that country's second-largest (legal) source of revenue.
Or not...
If you are ready for the adventure of a lifetime, TRY THIS:
Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, International law or any of that nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.
Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural USA thing. You would not understand, pal."
Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in Mexico.
Drive around with no liability insurance and ignore local traffic laws.
Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.
Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world except right here in the United States, Land of the naive stupid idiotic politically correct politicians.
If you agree, pass this on. If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or Iran or Iraq.
It's just another sand-patting exercise to blunt popular American anger. Both Mexico and the U.S. will quietly continue their undemocratic and unconstitutional efforts to erase the border in favor of an 'economic unit.'
Been there, Done that.
I own a house in LaPaz, B.C.S., Mexico.
El Presidente Fox guarding the hen house.
Translation: "Americans are angry and America is seriously thinking about actually DOING something about steming the tide of illegal aliens. Therefore; we had better do someting to make them THINK that eveything will be ok and that they don't need to do ANYTHING."
"You can trust us gringos, we are your friends" (straight out of THE WILD BUNCH when they are surrounded by "General Mapache's troops after robbing the train). By the way, the next line is: "we kill you pretty soon; da-- gringos!"
Things have not changed, what do they think we are, STUPID?
