Former Mexican president speaks at OU
http://www.newsok.com/article/3018821
NORMAN (AP) - As the debate over immigration continues in the United States, former Mexican President Vicente Fox on Monday urged the respect of human and labor rights and criticized efforts to construct a wall between the two countries.
''No more walls. No more waste of money and budget. No more guards,'' Fox said in a keynote address during an academic convocation at the University of Oklahoma.
''By working together, we can build a better future for both of our countries.''
Fox said the United States and Mexico are both are part of the Americas and said strengthening the partnership between the two countries was critical to a successful partnership between the two.
''God made us neighbors. We have become friends,'' he said. ''Prosperity for North America, this is my American dream.''
Fox, who served as Mexico's president from 2000 to 2006, touted his country's economic improvement in recent years, but said much work remains to be done to provide more educational opportunities for its citizens.
''The educational gap continues to be wider than the economic gap,'' Fox said.
Fox drew loud applause from the mostly students in the audience when he called for a greater United Nations presence in Iraq and urged the United States to exit the country.
''I think it's time for the U.S. to withdraw from Iraq,'' Fox said. ''Leave the Iraqi's fate in the hands of the Iraqis.
''The people of Iraq should be left to construct their own future.''
Fox also praised the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he said has helped improve the economies of both countries, and urged American leaders to continue working to strengthen economic ties between the two countries. He said Mexico, the United States and Canada all are losing manufacturing jobs to China.
''If we join together, we could defend those jobs,'' he said.
Following his comments, University of Oklahoma President David Boren praised Fox for breaking seven decades of one-party rule in Mexico and for bringing stability to the country's economy.
''By strengthening your country, you have strengthened our country,'' Boren said, adding that future prosperity ''will be built not by the Hugo Chavez's of the world, but by the Vicente Fox's of the world.''Immigration reform should reflect a commitment to enforcement, not reward those who blatantly break the rules. - Rep Dan Boren D-Ok

Fox is not an American...he is a Mexican. He has no buisness telling America what we should and should not do.
Why is Fox constantly in the U.S.? HAs he jumped the border to live here now?

Look Vicinte, there is no debate.
There is only you trying to impose your
Selfish self centered elitist rip off hustle
On the United States of America.
And when you say things like:
We have become friends
Is when you want something or you want to
Cover up the theft danger and degradation
That is the Criminal Alien Invasion.
And about this:
''I think it's time for the U.S. to withdraw from Iraq,''
That are the Mexican Generals.?
Pullllleeezzz.
When was the last time they did anything besides
direct fire at their own citizens?

Seriously, why does Fox have a free reign to spout and spin his ideology in the United States? He's part of the problem, not the solution."The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ** Edmund Burke**
