Monterrey, Mexico.
The delegations of Mexico and the United States agreed to create a binational special work commission among legislators to undertake the issue of immigration reform.

On the table one of the 47 interparliamentary meetings Mexico-United States, agreed to create a work group to analyze the issue.

In a press conference, Edmundo RamÃ*rez, representative of the PRI, reported that the American counterparts considers that one must expect the ending of the electoral process of that country, in January of the next year, to be able to undertake the issue.

Accompanied by the representative of the PAN party, Antonio Valladolid, and Republican representatives Jerry Weller, of Illinois and Brian Bilbray; as well as of Raúl Grijalva, Democrat of Arizona, and Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California, RamÃ*rez said that both delegations agreed to create the group, which will be defined in the next months.

Grijalva said that they seek an agreement for 2009, once the elections are finished.

Not sure why Bilbray went, but he's on our side against amnesty -- which the OBL will still push for -- and the American people will still say NO.

The American congressman Brian Bilbray added that this will take advantage in establishing a group of cooperation among both countries that advance the issue, because before this year, there will not be reforms in immigration matters.

He said that the reform would seek "to accommodate the labor force that would come to United States in a legal way, completely separated from the issue of punishments or sanctions regarding illegal immigrants", with a program for temporary legal workers.

At the same time, the Republican congressman Jerry Weller, of Illinois, said that though the number of parties in both countries is different, because here there are many and from the United States only two, "we have arrived at an understanding to form a bilateral working groups in order to achieve an agreement".

"There was a consensus that there will not be a change in Immigration laws in a complete way or the pushing of amnesty for a year", announced the Republican Congressman, Brian Bilbray.

Sounds like Bilbray is talking about another "guest" or legal "temporary" foreign worker program, which is not new but of course should be watched closely. (His recent grade from Numbers on 'Foreign Workers' is F- with a career grade of C-) But he still seems strong against amnesty.

Here's the IRC website of which Bilbray is Chairman:

Bilbray indicated that he belongs to the group of legislators that considers that that the first thing that has to be done is to approve a program for temporary workers, to resolve the immediate problem, and once that is fixed, we can start to debate an integral immigration reform.

The democratic representative of California, Zoe Lofgren, emphasized that the "working migrants are honest tand hey deserve a just immigration reform" and emphasized that the American people and legislators are not happy with the fact that regarding the issue of immigration legistation "nothing has been done".

Both the people on our side and the Amnesty supporters should be working on finding ways to help channel money into job creation in Mexico. Most Mexicans when they come want to accumulate money for housing or a business and go home. If we do not start to get involved it makes us look uncaring about their condition in Mexico. If Amnesty supporters do not get involved it looks like they are uncaring about the impact on Americans and want the Mexicans here just as clients for social service programs and eventual constituents.

Isn't working with a foreign government on U.S. legislation unethical, immoral and illegal?

At the same time, the Republican congressman Jerry Weller, of Illinois, said that though the number of parties in both countries is different, because here there are many and from the United States only two, "we have arrived at an understanding to form a bilateral working groups in order to achieve an agreement".

Congressmen need Mexico's consultation and advice on United States of Ameria's laws?
Mexico should have no voice in our government.
No wonder Mexico feels it can dictate "no conditions attached" to the
$1.4 billion Merida Initiative to fight the cartels.
When does co-operation become treason?
