Immigration will be key topic when Bush, Fox meet Friday Mexico's ambassador says countries need to regain momentum

WASHINGTON – Mexico's top diplomat in the United States said Monday that the upcoming meeting between President Vicente Fox of Mexico and President Bush will be a reunion aimed at "recuperating momentum" after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, which stalled high-level migration talks between the countries.
In an interview with reporters, Ambassador Juan José Bremer said the meeting between Mr. Fox and Mr. Bush on Friday at the U.N. Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey, Mexico, will include talks on immigration, border security and poverty.
"Six months after September 11th, we're restarting our negotiation discussions, and I think it's an important project that will continue having its weight in the bilateral relationship," Mr. Bremer said. "How far can we go? It's not for me to say."
A senior administration official echoed Mr. Bremer and said Mr. Bush wanted to "accelerate" the immigration talks.
"The agenda hasn't changed very much," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Migration is a very important topic for both countries."
Separately, one of the Washington's top immigration scholars called on both governments to use the upcoming meeting to move the immigration agenda forward.
Demetrios G. Papademetriou, co-director of the Migration Policy Institute, convened a high-level U.S.-Mexico migration panel a year ago to devise the framework for the current migration talks. On Monday, he called on both governments to consider adopting a four-point program.
The proposal calls for a registration program for the estimated 10 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, a legalization program for those immigrants who register, a broad temporary worker program for new Mexican workers to help meet continued U.S. employer demand, and a new security arrangement along the U.S.-Mexico border.
If the Bush administration doesn't adopt a comprehensive approach and neglects to work closely with Mexico on the migration issue, it will learn another "lesson of unilateralism," Mr. Papademetriou said, referring to the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, or IRCA.
The act was designed to restrict immigration by combining amnesty for 2.8 million immigrants, most of them from Mexico, with tightened border controls, Mr. Papademetriou said. But by 1990, there were as many new undocumented immigrants as there were before 1986. "We were back to where we started," he said.
Staff writer G. Robert Hillman contributed to this report.
Recuperating the momentum of illegal Mexicans coming into America. Is this what they are trying to do?
These people coming here, are from corrupt countries run by criminal dictators. These people don't have enough guts or drive to make their own countries right.
We don't need these types of people here. Period.
This reminds me of a story from a few years ago. Does anyone remember the Mexican cop killer here in Texas that was let off thanks to a technicality? Well, after he was set free, he went back home to Mexico and was treated like a national hero. Talk about karma, he got his in the end, he was killed in a car wreck soon after.
Their meeting is in Monterrey, Mexico. I guess I've missed all those visits to the White house.
Because his people are coming across our border?
No they aren't, they're the people doing manual labor that Americans don't want to do.
Yeah, right. A Democrat will let the current mess stand. That'll fix things.
What are you smoking?
I believe the Hispanic vote could be as high as 12% by 2020 if the current trends stand.
Now perhaps, if native born Americans got off their butts and voted, the
immigrant poplulation wouldn't have everyone on this thread so distraught.
I beg to differ, they do these jobs as well as construction and other things.
Let's stop the flood of illegal aliens so we have control of our immigration. We need real decisions, not a lot of winks and nods. Until it is addressed and details come out, we really don't know what will be presented. I'd like to see something that will benefit both countries. We would benefit by having a stronger Mexico where their citizens will be happy to remain in Mexico or only come here as guest workers. I think Bush will be having some tough talks and negotiations with Fox. The crooked PRI still has majorities in the Mexican congress and governorships. So it doesn't help if we undermine Fox and his efforts to bring democracy to Mexico, in fact it sabotages our efforts to keep illegals from flooding across the U.S. border.
You left off the last part of the sentence....for $2.00 an hour.!
Yes, but, but, it's compassionate recuperating.
Show Jorge Bush the door in 2004.

I must say I tire of the hackneyed saying that the "alternative" is worse. We now have the alternative, thanks to a REPUBLICAN HOUSE AND A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. The last time I looked Byrd was the same old nasty democrat, yet he is the only politician of note that believes Americans are being had. Before you use that demeaning term again, address the problem, do not try to divert away from the republicans in charge what is being done.
What the democrats MIGHT do is like warning a child of a POSSIBLE boogey man. It gets tiresome.
