WASHINGTON -- When President George W. Bush meets with Mexican President Vicente Fox next week, liberalizing U.S. immigration policy will not be on the agenda, much to the chagrin of Mexican officials.

While immigration advocates hope to at least get a sign that the United States is ready to resume negotiations on the policy, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who are close to the issue expect Bush to be vague and general.

You are anti-immigrant.

As I've stated numerous times, I'm pro-immigrant and pro-immigration, and anti-illegal.

You argue like a Democrat.

Well, since you have been shown to be WRONG once again about Bush, I see you had no other choice except to personally attack Dane.

So typical.

What's typical is that I've attacked Dane's dishonest and hollow arguments. I do it a lot.

In what way do you believe I've been shown to be wrong about President Bush?

Yeah right, whatever sabey. You believe what you want to believe. Your clique will be behind you, except for this thread where the clique response seems to be,

"Bump for later"

LOL, that comes from a person who is so insecure that he thinks that a picture signature of a tiger is intimidating.

Yep devastating. /sarcasm

That's fine... you're entitled to that opinion.

Off-topic, though.

You're right on most accounts you delineated. Mexico is still, for the most part, a hole. However, Fox at least represents a big change from the past ruling clique (PRI?). Maybe something can change.

Unless things have changed down there since October 31, 2000.

Baja Evictions Carried Out.

By HENRY ROMERO

Reuters

ENSENADA, B.C. -- Federal police on Monday evicted some 200 U.S. retirees from a multimillion- dollar beachfront resort in northwestern Mexico following a Supreme Court ruling that changes the ownership of the land.

Some 250 armed officers took part in the raid on the Baja Beach & Tennis Club in Ensenada, Baja California.

"They are going from house to house," Baja California Homeowners Association vice president Leigh Zaremba told Reuters. "We've been given five hours to get out of our houses before they are sealed."

U.S. retirees own about 90 percent of the homes at the Baja Beach and Tennis Club. They paid local farmers and a private developer, Koster S.A., between 500,000 dollars and 1 million dollars for each of the villas.

The resort property comprises a hotel, 18 cabins and 23 houses and is valued at about 48 million dollars.

Whatever.

The whole funny part of this thread is that it was started by someone anti-immigrant, when the article of this thread basically refutes all the accusations you all throw at the Bush administration.

I want to know why Vincente Fox, leader of Mexico, is so insistent and demanding that America accept Mexicans who are here illegally and creating mucho problems here in the USA. Why? If he's such a great leader why doesn't he make his country a place where no Mexican would want to leave. I think he wants to get rid of less than desirable Mexicans and shove them onto the USA. This will solve many of his problems and create MANY problems for the USA - Americans living along the border know this as fact, and even a community on Long Island has severe problems with Mexicans. Solution: Throw all illegals out. If they want to come to America, make them file legally. Then make sure they want to be Americans fully and completely. No criminals and no drug dealers.

That's where My brother got screwed. The Ijido (sp?) tribe received title to the land on the Punta Banda sandspit in the late 60s from Mexico, in honor of some old treaty.

They leased parcels to Americans in good faith, but a few changes of government and greased palms later, Punta Banda was turned over to a couple of families who claimed the land prior to the grant to the Ijido.

The American leases were simply nullified.

As my brother says... "That's why they call it Mexico."

Er, I posted the article, and I'm anti-criminal. How do you justify the 'anti-immigrant' allegation? Sounds like a witch hunt. (LOL)

A promise of "no blanket amnesty" is an empty shell,

Yes, and the prima facie evidence of its dishonesty is the ramrodding of last week's 245(i); the purported "shock" that INS delivered a visa six months late (coupled with his campaign promises of 2000 to make the INS deliver its services in a timely fashion); Ashcroft's seeming surprise that the worst agency in the United States government - and one over which he has oversight duties - is not up to snuff; and the insane joke of discussing anything about immigration policy while ignoring the desperate - and I do mean desperate - straits of the INS.

There has not been a single remedy applied to INS and its problems since January 2001. Not one. But GWB is content to feed it with thousands and perhaps millions of additional cases while the agency implodes. Why? It makes no sense.

On this issue GWB is either (a) completely out of touch with reality or (b) lying through his teeth.

Greased palms being the key words.
