Mexican president says Bush pressured him (Crybaby - Booo Hooo Sniff Sniff!!)

Mexican President Vicente Fox told reporters from his hospital bed after a spinal operation that US President George Bush tried to "insistently convince" him of the US view on Iraq, but that Mexico had not taken a decision yet.

Fox, who underwent surgery early on Thursday for a slipped disk, said he was "somewhat" under pressure on the Iraqi issue, and had received calls from several countries, including Singapore, Japan, Colombia and Venezuela

Apparently France has been offering these countries something that the U.S. can't - Maybe a stake in the EU.

Then perhaps France will also accept all the illegal immigrants? I know for a fact that the French are unwilling to do almost ANY job, so an influx of low paid serfs will be a comfort to them.

I wonder if they can get the Mexican illegals to go on strike for them too?

How about an alternative word, REPATRIATION.

"Fox, who underwent surgery early on Thursday for a slipped disk"

He's in the hospital with a slipped disk because President Bush grabbed a fox by the tail and gave it a good yank!

[Mr. Mojo]

Any predictions on what President Bush will do if Mexico votes against a war?

Nothing, absolutely nothing. And then, after all is forgiven and forgotten, he'll grant amnesty to the many millions of illegal Mexicans currently in the U.S to help him with the '04 vote. What he should do, of course, is round up and deport every illegal citizen of every country, send them back from whence they came, and place the National Guard on our borders.

Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

Apparently his body rejected it.

Cry old baby, but now, we will never again be pressured to continue taking his uneducated illegal refuse. Fox refuses to even try to solve his nation's problems, because he has the impression that USA has to take care of all his poor and unemployed. Let's put the real pressure on Fox now, Mr. President, let's send back the Mexican undocumented, by the bus loads and close our borders. Let's enforce tough penalties on Americans who would continue to hire cheap labor and encourage illegal workers. Let us be free from the failure of Mexico, for once!

[Ravenstar]

NOTHING, Vicente was a school chum of his. That is why our borders are like a sieve. He is terrified of offending poor Vicente.

If Mexico has to even think about supporting us after the way we have propped up their economy and forgiven debt over the years, the citizens of this country should round up all the undesirable illegals they want to force on us and run them back accross the border.

[Ravenstar]

He will never do it see my post above.

Personally speaking I think we we should bring our 250,000 troops home and deploy them on the Northern and Southern borders AND around the UN. That should keep our enemies out.

[neefer]

Nothing, absolutely nothing.

I was afraid that would be the answer. Hispanic votes are apparently too valuable.

There seems to be a disconnect by all the politicians and a lot of the public. It isn't whether Mexico should be indebted to us or whether Cameroon will support us. The disconnect is whether our politician's interests are in the best interests of the nation that they are elected to represent. As an example, one of the main reasons we are embarking on a war with Iraq is to free them from the tyranny of Saddam and establish democracy.

Now my question is: Will the new democracy established in Iraq become more interested in pacifying the UN and furnishing the military forces to do the bidding of the UN, such as our country has become? Will the new democracy look after the welfare and interests of a new Iraq or follow our lead?

After the costs of human life and material wealth, will our country start looking after its citizens interests or will it continue to solve the world's problems and neglect ours?

We are reaching a point of no return where we can retain our present system or slip into the realm of a third world republic. Playing footsie with the UN guarantees the latter. If we continue the course without public outcry it will happen. The UN is the great equalizer, the world can become poor on an equal basis.

Well cry me a frickin' Rio Grande. Pressure? He doesn't know what pressure is. Maybe that's because no one has ever expected much from mexico. Hmmmm...the france of the Western Hemisphere. Perhaps they should change their name to Francico. Same group of whining crybabies who never have an answer, just complaints.

[BostonCajun]

Hey, is that a borito in your pocket or you're just happy to see me? :D

[brydic1]

Maybe we could post billboards along the US-Mexican Border, "France Welcomes Mexican Immigrants and has numerous Welfare Benefits for All, Apply at your French Consulate."

[cabbieguy]

Ese hombre me sigue por todas partes, Socorro!, Kofie

[Paulus Invictus]

Don't know what a borico is, but perhaps you mean a borrico (a donkey) or perhaps a burrito, which is a little burro or a mushy Mexican roll-up. Take your pick!

[paul51]

I'm also getting sick of hearing about all the damaged sensibilities of our so called allies and other third rate, third world countries. If you want to be treated as equals, start carrying an equal portion of the burden world wide. Screw your poor feelings. You all sound like cry babies. Who would treat you with respect or as equals?

Part of my rant from another thread. It fits here.

And then, after all is forgiven and forgotten, he'll grant amnesty to the many millions of illegal Mexicans currently in the U.S to help him with the '04 vote.

If GW did this in his 1st term he would be a one termer. No, he will wait & sock it to us in the next term. All part of the "Two-Party Cartel". He go out like that gov of Illinois. Guarantee you that only if you vote a 3rd party candidate will you get some resolution on this for the benefit of us Americans.
