SAN FRANCISCO - Mexican President Vicente Fox has appointed a man with dual U.S.-Mexican citizenship to a new post aimed at helping generations of people who have emigrated north to this country.

Candido Morales' designation as director of the newly created Institute for Mexicans Abroad underscores the economic boost Mexicans living in the United States give to their home nation.

"People who are undocumented, they want laws that would allow them to become legal residents" of the United States

Fox was duped. Illegals in this country have already hit the jackpot--welfare, medical care, housing and foodstamps etc. In addition, even if the INS does happen to accidently come across a boat-load of illegals living here, the illegals are given a burrito, a "naughty, naughty" speach and a 'get out of jail free' card for life.

Fox doesn't need this guy, the illegals seem to be doing just fine on their own.

"Institute for Mexicans Abroad underscores the economic boost Mexicans living in the United States give to their home nation."

How do most nations give themselves an "economic boost" in international trade? Sell products to other countries! Are Mexican illegals being sold as products to us? Does Fox reeeaaally want to go down that path?

Isn't this a prime example of the pot calling the kettle black? Wasn't it Fox just the other day that was pissed because some of our FBI agents set foot in their 3rd world sh*thole? But he can send his people here to help all the ones who shouldn't be here in the first place. Someone needs to set this idiot straight!

I thought a US citizen could lose their citizenship if they hold a position in a foreign government. Am I wrong here?

"Morales said Mexicans in the United States send about $11 billion each year to relatives back home...."

I'd like to know what tax bracket the INS puts the Mexican Government in...
SOMEBODY should be paying taxes on that 'foreign investment"!
