7. We do need immigration reform so that mothers with small kids
no longer have to die in the desert to try to make a living for their families. We in the US are going to continue to rely on an immigrant class to do jobs we don't want such as agricultural jobs and service jobs. This is the one and only point on which I agree with the current administration. And he probably does have the political "capital" to do this. In addition the headline today here in Mexico was Creel demands Bush moves on immigration reform or something to that effect. As the second largest trade partner with the US, Mexico has some ability to ask, cajole, and demand. In addition the Fox election is coming up 2006 and its one that has to be won by a sympathetic to the US president if possible. One can only hope that some sort of actually functional policy could be proposed.
