Vicente Fox wil visit the US |
|
Edited on Sun May-21-06 09:37 AM by Orrin_73
He has chosen a very sensitive time to visit.
Fox's trip to West risky MEXICO CITY -- In politics, timing is everything. And pundits say the timing of President Vicente Fox's visit this week to California and the West couldn't be worse.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is deciding whether the California National Guard will participate in President Bush's plan to send 6,000 troops to the border. The Utah Minutemen are planning a protest in Salt Lake City, where Fox will meet with several hundred Mexicans during the first stop of a four-day trip that also takes him to Washington state.
"It's a terrible time to come because emotions are running high on the illegal immigration issue," said George Grayson, a Mexico scholar at the College of William & Mary. "Immigration is just a lightning rod and he's going to come into the country and he's going to have to say critical things about Bush's speech. That's just going to infuriate the White House."
But political analyst Jose Antonio Crespo warned that Fox's decision to visit a sharply divided United States could further polarize Americans on the issue of illegal immigration.

4. Mr. Corporatist send us the people you oppress so they can send |
|
their slave wages back to your country and help you stay corrupt, and in power. If they stay there, they might demand a decent life and a decent standard of living. You have sold your governing style to the neo-cons and the dlc pigs. They saw how easy it is to enslave a people when you don't have a middle class.

10. Is a "coyote" going to sneak him in? |
|
Hope he has his fake Social Security card ready, so he can get one of the "jobs that Americans won't do". That's assuming, of course, that he doesn't want to go back to his own messed-up country.
