    Ex-Mexico Prez:"Racists Stop Immigration"

    Ex-Mexico Prez: Racists Stop Immigration

    By DIEGO A. SANTOS
    Associated Press Writer

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday that the United States is letting racism dictate its policies, especially when it comes to immigration.

    "The xenophobics, the racists, those who feel they are a superior race ... they are deciding the future of this nation," he said, without naming names, in an interview with The Associated Press.

    In his first interview to promote his new book, "Revolution of Hope," Fox applauded President Bush's desire to pass an immigration accord that would allow more Mexicans to work legally in the U.S.

    But he criticized Bush for failing to pass the promised reform.

    "There was always a reason for why it couldn't be done. 'It is not possible because of the elections.' He couldn't touch the topic because this election is very important, or because security was more important," Fox said.

    "So, when are they going to finally address it? It needs to be resolved."

    Fox said he hopes his new book, written in English, helps Americans understand the Mexican point of view on immigration.

    "To be so repressive isn't democractic or free ... to be putting up fences, chasing Mexicans, that isn't right," Fox said. "The U.S. needs better answers than repression, weapons and violence."

    Fox also talked about his sometimes rocky relationship with Bush, a man he calls a "windshield cowboy" in his book.

    Both men had worked together as governors of influential agricultural states in Mexico and the U.S. They began their presidential terms in office nearly eight years ago with close relations, and Bush even made a visit to Fox's central Mexican ranch his first foreign trip as president in early 2001.

    But they split ways on Iraq, after Fox refused to back the impending war.

    "There are important differences between myself and President Bush, including the case of Iraq and other topics where we think and act differently," Fox said.

    Fox also denied media and opposition allegations of illicit wealth that have arisen in Mexico, after a celebrity magazine published photos of his newly renovated ranch. He said the accusations were made "without any evidence."

    "It's just yellow journalism," he said.

    Mexico is obviously blackmailing America. They must have information that could really damage this country and its leaders, because I don't see any other reason for our elected bozo's to bend over backwards and kiss Mexico's butt.

    Well this illustrates how much of a coward our president is. He allowed himself to be seen as a friend to Fox and now he is being mocked by him openly in his own country. What the hell is wrong with Bush? He destroyed his own constituency and mocked them, sent them away in order to befriend this man. Now he doesn't have Conservatives to run to for help. What an idiot.

    At what point in the history of man can anyone point to a time when a leader allowed another world leader to slowly colonize his nation, meddle in its institutions, mock him openly on his own soil and profit from his own people by selling his berating diatribe? Please tell me if you can find it. These are the end times.

    Mexico has to be made to pay for their mockery and violent campaign.

    So how does Mr. Fox explain Mexico's immigration policy? They are very very closed door with regard to immigration.

    Very hypocritical.
    Calderon was absolutely right when he said...."Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico".

    The issue has been addressed. We've decided to enforce our immigration laws and tighten border security. Where have you been dude, this is old news.

    I guess folks like Mr. Fox only think the issue will be resolved when 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants are put on a path to citizenship.

    Why would any proud nation want their people to emigrate to another country other than to colonize?
