President Vicente Fox said Monday that Mexico wanted work visas, legalization and family reunification for undocumented migrants, but stopped short of calling for U.S. citizenship for them.

Speaking to reporters on the eve of his Nov. 4-6 visit to Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, Fox said immigration issues will be on the agenda of his visit, but that trade and economic issues will also be discussed.

It isn't the place of the Mexican President to DEMAND a G*d D*mned thing of our president or congress. Send him a note that says "enjoy your stay in Mexico, you are not welcome here as long as you demand a d*mn thing"

"undocumented migrants." Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr They are ILLEGAL ALIENS and they are tearing the fabric of our society, our culture and our nation apart. If the TRAITOR George W. Bush (who panders to illegals and murderous Muslims but seems to care nothing about the rightful citizens of this country) doesn't do something about this problem and soon, we won't have a country left and I'll have moved to Greenland or someplace equally remote.

We're currently paying to educate and medicate millions of your countrymen, presidente, who in turn send billions of dollars to prop up your sick economy, and you're still "laying out demands"?

The American people have an unlimited capacity to absorb insults, apparently. How much longer can this go on?

Bush should send him a note:

"Joda te"

Fox will know what the means.

"Fortunately, we are back at the negotiating table with the government of President Bush."

I'm sure our President will straighten him out, but good! ;-)

GW should answer our Mexican guest's demands by suggesting that he and the vast majority of Americans would approve of the naming of a university after him....

AMERICA PARA LOS ILEGALES

Paul Craig Roberts
Friday, Oct. 3, 2003


All the 6 million poor and disabled Americans need to do is to acquire Mexican citizenship and recross the border as illegal aliens. Once Americans acquire the status of illegal aliens, their medical care is provided free without even a co-pay.

Not to worry, veterans who defended your country, just become Mexican illegals, and you will be cared for.

Are you the parent of a college-aged student who you would like to send to your alma mater, but can't as you have moved away from home, placing out-of-state tuition between you and your old school? Not to worry. Just send your offspring in search of Mexican citizenship. Depending on the location of your alma mater, once your son or daughter recrosses the border as an alien, the state's taxpayers will cover the out-of-state tuition charge.


Dr. Roberts' latest book, "The Tyranny of Good Intentions," has been published by Prima Publishers

Is illegal aliens a strong enough moniker anymore? They are acting in concert with the official policy of the government of Mexico. Perhaps Foriegn Invaders is now a more accurate description.
