Mexican president says U.S. lacks vision on immigration



Mexican President Vicente Fox said on Friday that there was a lack of vision in the United States relating to immigration, following the U.S. legislature's decision to build a 1,200-km wall along its border with Mexico.

"There is a lack of vision of what this means, and of all that it can cause in both nations, and of the need we have to manage migration in a legal, orderly way that respects human rights," Fox told media in the central state of Aguascalientes.

U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday authorized the 1.2-billion-dollar project, which is aimed at boosting border security and preventing illegal immigration from Mexico.

On Thursday, Mexico's legislature, the Chamber of Deputies, urged Fox to go to international tribunals and bodies to try and halt the wall's construction.

Fox said immigration was a phenomenon which happened by itself, as there were jobs in the United States and also workers from Mexico seeking jobs, adding that the situation benefited both nations.

He said his government, which ends its tenure on Nov. 30, would make continuous efforts to make sure that moving to the United States was a voluntary choice, not one brought on by a lack of opportunities at home.

Despite all this, Fox said the Mexico-U.S. relationship was the right one based on what he called "deep associations, friendships, and work."

In the Brazilian capital of Brasilia, Mexico's visiting President-elect Felipe Calderon publicly thanked Latin American nations for their verbal opposition to the wall, passed last week by the U.S. legislature.

"This wall divides nations, families, the history (of) a people and will not be the (measure) to solve the immigration problem. I am grateful for the solidarity I have received in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the Central American nations, " he said.

Meanwhile, in Mexico City, non-governmental organization activists announced a forum on the wall, to be called the Social Border Forum, which will run from Oct. 12 to Oct. 15 in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, and will gather some 700 delegates from Mexico, Canada and the United States.

This wall divides nations, families, the history (of) a people and will not be the (measure) to solve the immigration problem. I am grateful for the solidarity I have received in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the Central American nations, " he said.

Then pray tell....why do they imprison, murder, abuse, use and rob their Central American illegal immigrants? They have one set of rules and guidelines for themselves and another for us. Sure they want to keep the path clear to "migrate" here. Seems we're getting more of an unfair amount of undesireables from these areas. Gang members, child molestors, rapists, murders.....they for sure want to dump them here. They don't want them either.

Fox said immigration was a phenomenon which happened by itself, as there were jobs in the United States and also workers from Mexico seeking jobs, adding that the situation benefited both nations.

Can't fool us, foxy There's no phenomenon here......
It's called NAFTA and YOU instigated it along with bush1 & klinton. Oh, but for the lies that roll off of their tongues.

Mexican President Vicente Fox said on Friday that there was a lack of vision in the United States relating to immigration,

No I am afraid we have a very clear vision what is in store for us if we continue to allow unchecked illegal immigration. That is whey we are trying so desperately to stop it.

Mr. Fox, our vision is 20/20. We see you just fine and we're keeping a close eye on you for obvious reasons, one being the fact that you are a dictator, two, because you've been corrupted by Castro......do I need to go on?

Trust us.....our vision is fine and the United States is watching you very, very closely, "Good Friend". You are a true danger to every single American because you do not give a damn about anything regarding the safety and well-being of the American people and our culture. This proves that you don't live by the moral standards of the United States.

You don't even hide the fact that you could care less about America. Get out of our sight.

I agree DLM, we just lack Mexico's vision, as their country would benefit the most from NAFTA while still getting all the money from their people in the US while our country would go down the toilet. American citizens do not want their illegal aliens or NAFTA

NAFTA only benefits the very small class of Rich in Mexico. It never benefited their citizens. Now that American companies are closing up NAFTA shops and moving to India, China, etc........it's even worse.

Because of NAFTA.......big American Ag has gobbled up the farms and put the mex farmers into desperate poverty. Big Ag now has control over American and mexican farmland.

Ya.....NAFTA does only benefit a few while it reeks havoc on everybody else.

mexico lacks logical thinking, I believe the whole mex govenment is mentally challenged.
Hey Vincente--go jump in a lake, take a flying leap, go rot under a bridge!
