New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a former UN ambassador, was named as the Organization of American States' special envoy on migration in an effort to improve US-Latin American dialogue.

The appointment came amid heated debate in the United States over illegal immigration, as US lawmakers consider proposals to deal with the 11.5 million undocumented workers, mostly Latin Americans, living in America.

"The migration issue is key to improving relations (between Latin America and the United States," Richardson, 59, said at a news conference alongside OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza.

"Dialogue and democracy are very important and I hope to help the secretary general with advice and trips to countries to improve dialogue," he said in Spanish.

Richardson said he was ready to visit leaders who have been critical of the United States in hopes of improving relations.

"I know president (elect of Nicaragua Daniel) Ortega, I know (Venezuelan) President (Hugo) Chavez, and I will go to any country," said Richardson, whose mother is Mexican.

Richardson, whose state borders Mexico, rejected plans backed by President George W. Bush to build a huge fence along the US-Mexico border to stop the flow of illegal immigration.

Instead, he called for comprehensive reform to regularize undocumented workers.

"Two things must take place. One, a plan to legalize the 12 million (illegal) immigrants in the United States, and I think that it is important to improve border security," he said, pointing to the need for increased patrols and more cooperation with Mexico.

Richardson was a UN ambassador and energy secretary under former president Bill Clinton. The Democrat has not ruled out running for his party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election.

Mr. Richardson needs to be removed from office ASAP for violating his oath.

The Globalist agenda has been picking up steam for quite a while now.

It is up to the PEOPLE of New Mexico

Yes, they'd better get moving. Soon we'll be changing the name of their state to Old Mexico.

I wonder if Richardson had to arm wrestle Perry for this appointment?

You're imagining things again, hedgetrimmer. (Just thought I'd throw that in before the open border minority did!)

Anyone that can't see the handwriting on the wall (or lack of wall) isn't trying. Be it "R" or be it "D", the fix is in.

You're right. After all the Constitution is just a guideline, America is just an idea, and freedom is something for the history books.
