Democrats good for immigration changes - Mexico
09 November 2006

MEXICO CITY: Gains by Democrats in the US congressional elections may help promote more liberal immigration policies sought by Mexico, President Vicente Fox's spokesman has said.


Mexico has been deeply disappointed by President George W Bush's failure to convince his own House of Representatives Republicans to accept a guest worker programme that would allow millions of mostly Mexicans to work temporarily in the United States.

Instead, Republicans who controlled both the House and the Senate voted for a 1126km fence along part of the US-Mexican border to stem the huge flow of illegal immigrants.

That angered Mexico, which has more faith in the Democrats on immigration. In midterm elections on Tuesday, Democrats won control of the House and were near taking control of the Senate as vote counts continued in an outstanding race.

"We hope this new make-up of the US Congress can be a catalyst for the US government working toward a migration reform with the characteristics proposed by Mexico," Fox's spokesman Ruben Aguilar said.

Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon, who takes office on Dec. 1, meets Bush in Washington on Thursday and is expected to raise complaints about the fence, which the US president signed into law last month.

The fencing will run along parts of four southwestern states – California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Mexico and other US allies in Latin America feel Washington neglected them after the September 11, 2001, attacks that they said diverted US attention from the region toward the Middle East.

Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez said he hoped the midterm elections would force the United States to concentrate more on its southern neighbours.
"I hope this also obliges the refocus toward our region, toward our nation," Derbez said.

They act like whining kids whose parent doesn't pay enough attention to them......sickening. It's all about them.

I think they are going to find it is just starting!

It is time to let the elected democrats know where most American's stand on illegal immigration. We must bombard them with letters to remind them that we can take them out at the polls just like we took down the republican's for refusing to listen to us. The dems and repubs are supposed to work for the American citizen, not Mexico or the ACLU. No Amnesty, no Spanish, no illegals in our country.

Why does Mexico feel we owe them something? Their sense of entitlement is disgusting! We don't owe them a damn thing.

Mexico should be happy the United States has tolerated them up to this point (against my wishes).

Well let;s see Mexico, we take care of your citizens here. We pay them good money to send home to take care of your citizens there. We pay for your brats and feed them to boot, free medical blah blah blah. They get all the entitlements meant for our legal citizens. Are you looking for us to adopt your whole worthless country? I have news for you and yours, it is over, comprende? NO MORE!

To the leaders of Mexico!
How about taking care of your own people instead of pandering to your corrupted system?

You are absolutely right!!

We need to get with the new members elect ASAP and start educating them immediately.

Is it possible to start a link that lists every new member elect of Congress? Would we have that information? Then we need to start acquainting them with ALIPAC and all the groups so they know how important this issue will be in 2008 and we need to stop the Shamnesty before then.
