By BENNETT ROTH
Copyright 2004 Houston Chronicle
SANTIAGO, CHILE - President Bush assured Mexican President Vicente Fox on Sunday that he would make a concerted effort in his second term to push for a temporary-guest worker program that has languished in Congress.

Immigration and border issues dominated private talks between the neighboring leaders, who met here during the final day of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

1. Thank You George. He also said it would enable more people to work abroad.
And less jobs here. What a concept. If anyone would take you perhaps you could be a guest worker in say, Venezuela?

3. against 70% of American's wishes, including legal minority groups
He also gave social security benefits to illegal aliens.

This is when at the same we're told they must privatize because there
will not be enough for Americans.

All about huge increase in labor for big business and overall depression of wages.

Hasta La Vista baby, El Estados Unidos por la mexico y muy rica!

11. The Repubs I know really, really
hate this and despise foreigners who come here for any reason, but they wouldn't talk about this issue before the election.

13. Isn't it amazing how among the talk with Vincente Fox never
is a solution of him fixing the corruption in his country which keeps his people in poverty? It always amazes me that that man has the gaul to repeatedly demand (not ask) of our country that we take care of the social devastation Mexican policies cause for his citizenry. Vincente, how about a living wage down there and some rights for workers?

14. C'mon, get with the new world order program...
the only way to help the billions of poor and starving folks on the planet is to sacrifice the middle class in the US. See, Fox is doing the right thing...compassionate creature that he is. Unlike that evil Chavez who won't let the neo-libs help his country's poor. :eyes:

:argh:

15. Fox is the first non-PRI president since the (last) revolution
It may be that he can't solve all his country's problems in one term.
