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 [for] 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.
"On the long term, this North American bloc can be the leading bloc on the world and be the most competitive bloc on the world by working together and, through that, be able to keep increasing the quality and the level of life of our citizens," Mr. Fox said.
Mr. Bush heads to northern Mexico today to participate in the Summit of the Americas talks in Monterrey. A key subject will be his proposal allowing millions of Mexicans in this country illegally to remain for three years if they have jobs that citizens don't want.
Mr. Bush began lobbying Congress to pass a new alien work program in 2001, but the issue was sidelined after the September 11 terrorist attacks and renewed concerns over border security.
Critics say the program amounts to amnesty for illegal aliens because they can reapply for a second permit and stay in the United States an additional three years.
Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans said there will be no guarantees for alien workers in this program.
"No guarantee they'll be able to stay permanently, and no guarantee they won't be able to stay permanently," Mr. Evans told CNN's "Late Edition."
"And what the president has said is that we've got to get a system in place that only allows legal immigrants to take jobs that may otherwise go to an American. It also will make our borders a lot safer."
Critics say the timing is suspect and that the proposal is an election-year ploy to garner Hispanic votes. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut called it "an election-year conversion by George Bush."
The proposal is "a little step forward, but not enough," Mr. Lieberman told CNN. "We've got to find a way to make them legal, have them contribute to the system, become part of the American family, and then start again at trying to make the flow of immigration in here legal and not illegal."
National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said the program will give Mexican workers "dignity."
"I can't think of anything better for a worker who has worked under these circumstances, kind of in the shadows in the United States, to finally have a way to come out of the shadows, to have certain protections that are not there now because they're having to live in the shadows, to have recognized that they are an important part of a strong American economy, and to get that kind of status," she said in a press briefing on Friday.
The Mexican government also will be expected to do a better job policing its border to protect its citizens, she said.
"The Mexican government doesn't like to see people trying to cross the border illegally, particularly because, just in even humanitarian terms, the harshness of what faces these people when they try to walk across the Rio Grande is really, really awful," Miss Rice said.
In addition to migration, world leaders at the summit will discuss the implications of international terrorism and poverty.
Mr. Bush meets today with Mr. Fox, Chilean President Ricardo Lagos and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
Tomorrow, Mr. Bush will have his first private meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and later meet with President Nestor Kirchner of Argentina and Bolivian President Carlos Mesa.

This is a free country, all our borders should be open to anyone at anytime.

That’s what makes this country great.

65GTO...been sniffin the Nitrous again?

RDC, How do you think your family got to America? Through an open border of course.

We have plenty of money compared to Mexico.

Why should all them people suffer over their when we can give them some of our money, land and jobs to help out.

If one has 10 hotdogs, and everyone else has none, you can spare 9 1/2 hotdogs and still eat.

They just want a better life for themselves. You all need to learn tolerance and love, we the people of the world should all be equal for better or worse.

If we were "tolerant" of all the underprivileged who want to come to this country, this would no longer be a great country. It would be the cesspool that much of the rest of the world is. We had immigration to this country, massive immigration, at a time when we needed massive immigration. We needed people to colonize the land we stole fair and square from the Indians. At this point, "we don't need massive immigration..." We need to control our boarders and we need people who can help this country, not necessarily people for this country to help.

The Illegal-Alien Crime Wave
(City Journal) Some of the most violent criminals at large today are illegal aliens. Yet in cities where the crime these aliens commit is highest, the police cannot use the most obvious tool to apprehend them.

i think we must start running guns, and get the peoples
of them other countries hooked on pharmaceuticals and pay them to stay in their own country selling drugs see what happens then maybe all the lazy loosers will go their get high die and stop being a burden on the AMERICAS

65gtoman,
I don't agree with the thought that the borders should be open. This is the reason that we spend extra money to pay for bi-lingual aides or teachers in schools and why bi-lingual people receive preferance for alot of jobs.

"How do you think your family got to America? Through an open border of course."
Sorry, but I am a native american (indian) and my ancestors were already here. So I suppose that my ideas on this subject may be a little tainted.

great post penzt8.
I don't see a problem with immigrants, per se.
If they go through the proper procedures, then they have worked hard to become citizens and proven their desire to come to the US. What irks me is when there is enough illegal immigrants that it requires states to hire bi-linguals to teach kids or work.

My neighbor just got his citizenship, he imigrated from Russia and he had to learn english and be able to speak english. It took him 10 years to go through the entire process, but he took everything in the requirements literally and abided by them. When asked what he thinks of the situation with the bi-lingual stuff and illegals, he is probably more angry about it than US born citizens.

I also have a good friend who was born in Canada and lives in the US. He went through a lengthy process for dual citizenship and until it was finalized, had to prove that he had gainful employment in the US and was not a burden to the US. Should he have lost his job at anytime, he could have been deported.
