Mexico's Fox: Govt To Formally Protest U.S. Initiative

Fox: Gov't to formally protest U.S. initiative
Wire services
May 13, 2005
President Vicente Fox said Thursday his government will formally protest recent U.S. immigration reforms, including the decision to extend walls along the border and make it harder for illegal migrants to get driver's licenses.
Fox didn't give details of Mexico's plan, but officials in his administration have raised the possibility of taking their case to the United Nations or other international organizations.
"We think it is useless to pursue walls, barriers, the use of force and violence," he said.
Speaking to foreign reporters later Thursday, Interior Secretary Santiago Creel said Mexican officials would meet with the U.S. government before deciding what kind of action to take.
The new U.S. provisions require states to verify that people who apply for a driver's license are in the country legally. They also make it harder for migrants to gain amnesty, and easier to override environmental laws to build a barrier along the Mexican border in California.
They were signed by U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday, and threaten to unravel recently patched relations between the United States and Mexico.
Bush and Fox began their administrations as close friends, but soon parted ways over the U.S.-led initiative in Iraq and the United States' failure to take up a migration accord that would have let more migrants cross legally into the United States.
Relations improved after Bush introduced a scaled-back migration plan that would have allowed Mexicans with U.S. job offers to work temporarily in the United States. But the proposal has stalled.
Fox said his job now was to "redouble efforts" in achieving a migration accord and "present corresponding complaints when human rights are violated."
"I think it is much more constructive the work that we have pending, and that we hope to finalize this year," he said.
He also said Mexico would fight the new initiatives by presenting "a formal and firm complaint against the option that has nothing to do with the harmonious development of relations between the United States and Mexico."
U.S. lawmakers argued the bill was necessary to protect the United States from terrorists.RIP Butterbean! We miss you and hope you are well in heaven.-- Your ALIPAC friends

2. This is the first I've heard of even the possibility of a wall. I think a 60 ft. wall - 30 below ground, 30 above would cut down illegal immigration more than we could even imagine. Sure, the wall might be quite costly but wouldn't the long term savings of the tapping of our hospitals, schools, prisons, and socail services be worth the price? I'd even be willing to voluntarily chip in a "special" tax to fund the wall if asked. I'd do ANYTHING necessary to keep these illegals out of MY country!

1. Last time I checked, the UN (or any other "international organization" had no jurisdiction whatsoever over our Constitution. Article 1, Secion 8 gives the Congress the explicit authority to determine immigration law.
This is why the UN and EU and every other despot is using the WORLD COURT!! We're a fraction of an inch from it, folks!!! Clinton almost pulled it off and we've another battle coming very soon.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
