| The government of Mexico will not permit violations of the human and labor rights of Mexicans living in the United States, said Mexican President Vicente Fox Quesada, stressing that, "we will stand beside every Mexican woman and man in this country, we will defend them against the raids being carried out in the state of California." He reaffirmed his commitment to continue to support the Mexicans and Mexican Americans who live and work with dignity and productivity, because they, he said, make a great contribution to the United States economy. "They are loyal, and respectful of this society and this country that has received them." On his first working day in the United States, Mr. Fox made important announcements for the Mexican community living in various places in this country. These include the scale of investments made in Mexican consulates in the United States and reinvestment in places of origin of income from fees for the issue of consular matriculation cards or other services provided. In addition, he told Mexicans living in the United States that, "we have not reduced our expectations and our struggle to finally reach an immigration agreement beneficial to the communities of both countries and so that we -through it, in an orderly manner, in an effective manner- can drive the development of our two countries more and more." Mr. Fox acknowledged that it has still not been possible to crystallize that goal, "but I assure you that we continue to struggle every day with the same purpose and that we are trying, every day, to resolve each of the demands that you have put forward." Evidence of that, he said, is the fact that the consular matriculation card is now broadly accepted in many states and now is not only useful as an identity document, but to carry out other operations. Speaking before the Mexican community gathered in the new facilities of the Mexican consulate in this city, the federal executive announced that the governments of Mexico and the United States are working to unify criteria in the standardization of their Social Security Systems. This system, he explained, will enable a person from Mexico or from this country to make savings, a retirement and pension plan through a single account. "Working here or working there will count just the same, there will be equal access to the same rights, in health, in retirements, in pensions, in housing, and in savings". He informed that the Mexican consulate in Chicago has already opened more than 50 community plazas, associated with the local government, which provide educational services ranging from primary and secondary education through to diplomas and university degrees. He also highlighted the extension of the Three for One Program, "by way of which members or groups in the Mexican community who want to invest in their community, for every dollar they send there, another two dollars are added: one by the federal government and one by the state and municipal governments." "That saving, that investment can be used for basic infrastructure in the community, in their community; or it can be used for production projects, your own enterprises, that will have that support of two additional dollars for each dollar." At the meeting, the chief of the federal executive acknowledged that there have been budgetary shortages and that there is greater demand for this program than what is available with the budget, " but we have been growing it and by next year we are going to continue to increase this amount greatly, to be able to carry on working as a team." He announced that in the city of Chicago the services of a community liaison center will be provided, " through which we want to have a greater closeness. In that center we want to permanently offer consular protection, financial education, preventive health services, and other rights and other programs." In the morning, President Vicente Fox held a meeting with Don Michael Randel, the president of the University of Chicago, at which he highlighted this educational institution's interest in research into and the history of Mexico. He acknowledged Dr. Friedrich Katz for his research into Mexico. In his remarks he said that, "he has also followed closely the delicate process of transition that my country is undergoing today; our struggles to eliminate traces of authoritarianism; to consolidate an efficient democracy; to overcome poverty and discrimination, and to provide all Mexicans with better opportunities in health care, education, employment, justice, and well-being." President Fox's agenda also included meetings with the mayor of the city of Chicago, Richard M. Daley, with editorial advisors of various Chicago media, and with the president of Whirlpool, Jeff Fetting. President Fox and his wife, Marta Sahagún de Fox, were honored with a dinner given by members of the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce. |
Bush had better get with the program, or we're going to have a Democrat in the White House again. And a particularly bad one at that.
Has anyone verified that this release is truly from the office of the mexican president?
They're trying to ram through a massive amnesty bill in the Senate as we speak. So I doubt very many will be coming out anytime soon in defense of our borders. It's all about big money and special interest groups.
Welcome aboard, Cassie22.
For every one caught, 3 make it. I would have thought it would be more.
Fox is a joke, and he's the only one who doesn't know it.
Dwight Eisenhower knew an invasion when he saw one. I doubt he would have ever let things get this far. In fact if he was president on 9/11 those borders would have been locked down. I'm still hoping the current one comes to his senses on this issue but I'm not holding my breath.
I am absolutely convinced, we no longer are being represented by our so-called leaders and elected officials..This just cements that position.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it absolutely amazing that the U.S. government can track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington, and determine exactly what that cow ate.
They can also track her calves right to their stalls, and tell you what kind of feed they ate.
But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around in their country, inlcuding people that are trying to blow up important structures in the U.S.
My solution is to give every illegal alien a cow as soon as they enter the country.
This release is on what is supposed to be Mexico's official Presidential website.

Unfortunately, that joke and his people are literally choking off large regions of our country and undermining our very sovereignty, as our own leaders stand in complete silence.
If there is any joke here, it's on us.
How does this give Mexico any incentive to keep its leeches home?
We lost representation when they signed NAFTA, which practically forced Mexico down our throats. There was no way that country was ready to trade with us on a level playing field but they went ahead anyway. Now the goal of many in Washington is complete open borders and I don't think they'll stop pushing till they get it.
The Massa speaks; what's the difference betwqeen Fox and the old time plantation owners who rented out their slaves to the neighbor, what's the difference between us and the neighbor?
Who ever put these keys so close together should be dshjiort!
That is pretty interesting isn't it. How about forgetting about the cow and giving them a cowbell?
No.
Mexican in U.S. sends back $1.00 to his hometown
The Mexican federal government kicks in $1.00
The state government of the Mexican's hometown throws in another $1.00
You know, we can blame Fox and Mexican citizens all we like, but there's only one man who's allowing this to happen. He could end it tomorrow, if he gave a ---- about this nation. Evidently when it gets right down to it, he doesn't.
As sad as it is, I'll probably have to vote for the wanker rather than see Kerry's wife run things for four years.
Hardly anything makes my blood boil as much as the surrender of our nation to foreign nationals. Never in history has a nation allowed itself to be take over by foreign citizens, all the while giving them financial support to complete their task.
Agree. It's just part of the plan. The undermining of this country and our sovereign borders are well underway.
Forget the voting booth.
That won't cut it, as even our elections have been undermined by massive voter fraud..And it gets worse every year.
Unfortunately, that's the bottom line here.
