Could this be part of what's behind Bush's refusal to do anything but keep the borders wide open? Granted, this story is from La Voz de Aztlan but, for once, they might have some truth here. Read on.....

Bush-Fox Deal Behind Tom Ridge's Comments
on the Legalization of Mexican Immigrantsby

La Voz de Aztlan

Los Angeles, Alta California - December 10, 2003 - (ACN) The comments on Tuesday at Miami Dade College by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, concerning the legalization of millions of Mexican migrant workers in the USA is a consequence of Mexico's President Vicente Fox ongoing secret deals with President Bush, says an influential senator of the Partido Revolucinario Democratico(PRD). The deal concerns the President Fox promise to open Mexico's nationalized oil industry PEMEX to US investors and allow Chevron Corporation to construct an $650 million offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving and regasification terminal just off the shore of Baja California in return for the legalization of Mexican immigrants by President Bush.

President Fox has been criticized by the Mexican media and Congress for his efforts to open up PEMEX to foreign investment. La Jornada newspaper of Mexico City recently ran a headline "PEMEX no esta en venta!" (PEMEX is not for sale!) and accused the Mexican president of secret deals with the "gringos". In addition, President Fox has been collaborating with Bush friend's, which at one time included officials of Enron Corporation, to de-regularize Mexico's electrical industry in a similar scheme that victimized Alta California. President Fox and President Bush are personal friends and speak on the phone regularly. Vicente Fox was a former executive of the USA based Coca-Cola Company and was elected, in large measure, through funds from the USA.

Chevron Corporation has already announced that they will construct the $650 million offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving and regasification "Terminal GNL Mar Adentro de Baja California" that will sell natural gas in Baja California and to customers up the US west coast. Liquid natural gas is extremely explosive and its detonation could produced deaths equivalent to a small nuclear device. The secret Fox-Bush deal places hundreds of thousands of Mexicans in Baja California in peril.

For the "Terminal GNL Mar Adentro de Baja California", Chevron plans to transport LNG from the Gorgon gas fields off Western Australia to the Baja California terminal using LNG carriers. The LNG will be loaded into storage tanks within a concrete structure. Terminal GNL Mar Adentro de Baja California will have the capacity to store 250,000 cubic meters of LNG.

At the Baja California offshore terminal, the LNG will be warmed using seawater to return it to its original gaseous state. This process is known as "regasification." The natural gas then will be transported to shore through a new underwater pipeline at a rate of approximately 700 million cubic feet per day. The pipeline will connect with Baja California's existing gas pipeline system, and the gas will be available for distribution to energy consumers in Northern Baja California and throughout the North American West Coast.

President Bush cronies include many profiteers within Chevron Corporation. The National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was on the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation. She was one of the principal architects of the war against Afghanistan on behalf of Chevron. Today Chevron is working with the USA installed puppet regime in Afghanistan to construct gas and oil pipelines from their oil fields near the Black Sea, through Afghanistan to the Indian Ocean.
