    Mexico's Fox: US Senate immigration reform 'monumental'

    Mexico's Fox: US Senate immigration reform 'monumental'

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060526/pl ... N5bmNhdA--

    Mexican President Vicente Fox called the immigration reform bill passed by the US Senate "a monumental step forward" in a special address to the California legislature.

    "It is a moment millions of families have waited for, a moment millions of people have been working for," Fox said to applause in a joint session of the California state assembly and senate in the capital city of Sacramento.

    "Today's historic vote is a monumental step forward, but we realize there is more debate ahead," he said, shortly after the US Senate passed an immigration bill that would allow many of the millions of Mexican workers in the United States illegally to remain.


    "I've got a file on President Bush that's this thick."

    The impassioned close to Fox's speech prompted a standing ovation from legislators, who had applauded intermittently during his appearance.

    Fox stressed that his government was committed to "the sovereign right of the United States to enforce its laws and respect its border and its citizens."

    Fox told legislators that Mexico was devoting resources to expanding jobs, education and social opportunities there to eliminate the impetus for economic migration.

    Mexico and the United States had a shared responsibility to safeguard their borders, enforce immigration laws and combat trafficking of drugs and people, Fox said.

    "It will take more than enforcement of building walls to truly solve the problems that cause the immigration phenomenon," Fox said, alluding to a provision in the Senate bill to build a 600 kilometer (370 mile) wall along the southern US border, and double the number of US Border Patrol agents on the border with Mexico.

    "Mexico wants to be part of the solution, not part of the problem."

    Comprehensive US immigration reform such as that approved by the US Senate is in the best interest of Mexico and the United States, Fox said.

    The US Senate adopted on Thursday a vast reform of immigration law that would allow millions of undocumented workers to seek legal status in the United States.

    The bill passed 62-36 despite a deep division within the majority Republican Party. It has the backing of US President George W. Bush, but differs sharply from a parallel bill passed in the lower House of Representatives.

    The bill would also create 200,000 temporary work visas for foreigners who take low-skill jobs here.
    It's like hell vomited and the Bush administration appeared.

    As long as Mexico agrees with them, that is.

    Since when has Mexico ever been concerned with our rights and laws????

    This just gets more ridiculous everytime one of these overpaid blowhards opens their mouth.


    If their government are a bunch of lawless animals then of course these illegals will act the same...what did we expect?
