Bush, Fox Agree on Immigration, Iraq

[DuctapeFatwa]

President Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox found agreement Monday on the contentious issues of immigration and Iraq, ending two years of discord that followed the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Fox wholeheartedly embraced Bush's immigration proposal to grant legal status to millions of undocumented workers in the United States, most of them from Mexico. "What else can we wish?" Fox said at a news conference with Bush.

Fox seeks to open U.S. borders


Mexican President Vicente Fox yesterday said he favors open borders across North America, not amnesty for his countrymen illegally residing in the United States.
The alien work program announced last week by President Bush would not encourage aliens to remain in the United States, because they love their home country, the Mexican president told the "Fox News Sunday" program.
"We are not looking for an amnesty Mexico. It's not that we're looking for these Mexicans working productively in the United States to become U.S. citizens. They like tacos, they like their families, they like their community, they like Mexico. Unfortunately, they don't have the opportunities that they would like to have as persons, so that's why they move," Mr. Fox said.
Mr. Fox said all immigration barriers should be removed to allow people to live and work in the country of their choosing, whether it be Mexico, the United States or Canada.

3. 12 BILLION dollars was moved from the US to Mexico last year

Thats alot of American jobs. bush* and especially fox could care less about American losing jobs. They have no clue what it takes for regular America to get by. But hey! as long as illegals can get work in America thats all that matters right?

4. Mexico is a corporatist feudalist state and a few families own over

90% something of everything in Mexico. Mexico is unwilling to change the distribution of wealth,because they are so fascist and so corrupt, and I say, why should we be an overload valve for a corrupt fascist government who refuses to clean up its own greed pig mess? To hell with them. I lived there two years and the greed pig conservatives don't even pay people enough to live on. That is why 10 people live in one room. To hell with their fascits corrupt government, let them take care of their own problems created by their own greed. Americans who have not lived there do not pity Mexico, because the people in charge are worse than Bush, and they need reform. Its not our problem. Mexico needs agrarian land reform and living wages, and is their problem. Not ours.

5. Yes, Jebby Boosh's Mexican wife is part of those feudalist families....

they are in oil...what else! That gives Jebby Boosh the right to own land, oil, become prez of Mexico, etc. The boosh family is very slick.

Also, after boosh and Prez Fox spoke, as seen on TV, Prez Fox turned away from the podium and started to walk away from little man boosh. Usually, they take steps toward each other and shake hands. Little man boosh had to chase Prez Fox across the platform to shake hands with him for his photo op.
