Laura Bush confident in Mexico-U.S. immigration agreement
EFE - 9/26/2002
U.S. First Lady Laura Bush said she was convinced an immigration agreement could be reached between Mexico and the United States, because their leaders want it.
Mrs. Bush, who participated in the 11th Conference of the Wives of Heads of State and Government in Mexico City on Wednesday, said, "I do see a solution to this problem."
In statements to the Mexican press made in Washington and published Wednesday in Reforma daily, Laura Bush explained she and her husband had lived in Texas for many years and have a special sensitivity for the problems of the U.S. Hispanic community.
"There are so many stories about immigrants and the children of immigrants in the United States. Our whole country is made up of immigrants who were able to overcome poverty and obtain good jobs. There are many examples in my husband's administration," the first lady noted.
Mrs. Bush acknowledged that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had set back the agenda between Mexico and the United States, but insisted that Presidents Bush and Fox "are going to meet again to try to revitalize and refocus the issue of immigration."
The first lady said she felt "a special bond with Mexico" and recalled the couple had spent their honeymoon in Mexico City and the Caribbean resort of Cozumel. The first lady is expected to focus on childhood poverty as she participates in this summit.

A target manager in Jefferson City, MO once told a coworker of mine, when she asked if they had a layaway department, that Target "wanted to attract a higher class of customer" and accepting layaways would hinder this. This was in 1997-1999, roughly.
If the Mexicans in the area have primarily low wage jobs, they may choose to shop somewhere where they can pay for clothes, furniture, and other nonperishables over 90 days if necessary. Just a possibility.
You would here. If anything, Kroger may even be worse than Walmart.
I don't see this statement as anything but kind and hopeful words, and I see many jumping to conclusions and drawing inferences that aren't there because that's the way they want to see things.
She has a soft spot in her heart for Mexico because she and her husband honeymooned there. Who wouldn't?
If I'm not right, I'll apologize to you.
Well then we keep our eyes open to see
I really don't expect the First Lady to go into this conference and bad mouth the Mexican people .. that is ... well bad manners
Tancredo didn't hammer that whack job Chicano nearly hard enough. That scumbag Torres was outrageous. Six or 7 minutes isn't enough time to do justice for anyone's viewpoint, unfortunately.
That's exactly right. A whole lot of overreacting going on here over a nice lady saying non-specific, non-political nice things.
Yeah, there's plenty of that around here too. Personally, I'm getting so sick of the whole issue that I'm even losing my taste for Mexican food. Weird huh?
I agree completely. He was evasive, convoluted, and illogical. Tancredo could have cleaned his clock, if the time hadn't run out.
You appear to support the hiring of illegal aliens, for it is "good business sense". This, in my opinion, reveals an example of greed, for it shows that some people will place a few extra dollars over the law and what is needed for a prosperous future America.
I think they're laughing at us...I really do. The Republicans step up to the plate and defeat Kyoto, Icc, ABM Treaty, etc, and we applaud and cheer. But every thing GWB and the Republicans do to fight off the sovereignty-destroying forces-the UN, the EU, various "multilateral treaties", God knows what else-can and will be reversed as soon as demographics make the Democratic party unbeatable. They think we're too stupid and ignorant not to notice what uncontrolled immigration is doing to us, and how most of the "new Americans" tend to vote Democratic-a trend which cannot be stopped by anything short of the Republicans offering even more "racial spoils" to the minority voters than do the Democrats. Both parties are filled with the kind of people who assume they'll be running things once a "global government" of unelected officials is imposed on the world. To be able to do as they please without being held back by national laws or those pesky voters! Bliss....The republicans throw us a bone (eg ICC withdrawal) and that is to keep us quiet until it's too late. The Democrats, once their power is consolidated via vote fraud and other means will take the rap for selling out the USA-but it's people in both parties quietly working to destroy what's left of the Constitution, our borders, our economy, our sovereignty...
Man, I've depressed myself.
