This is a good thing in a way. By taking this matter to the International Court--especially given President Bush's well-known opinions about international courts--Vincente Fox is shredding the last remnants of the understanding they thought they had at the time they came into office.

Bush doesn't owe Vincent Fox a damned thing. In particular, he doesn't owe him any more immigration deals. Bush understandably doesn't want to alienate the Hispanic vote, and neither should any sensible conservative. But he must find a way to open a conversation with Hispanics legally in this country while excluding the illegals. That will be difficult, but the convergence of various trends is making it absolutely necessary.
