With America’s Defeat in His Grasp, Vicente Fox Looks to Canada

Now that Mexico’s President Vicente Fox has US President Bush in his hip pocket, he’s going for Canada!

Fox urges U.S., Canada to accept guest workers

Mexican President Vicente Fox is calling on Canada to accept more low-skilled Mexican workers in its temporary work force, making his push for guest workers a continentwide affair.

“We should move out from agriculture to other services and other kinds of jobs, and we are working on this with the Canadian government,” Mr. Fox said in yesterday’s edition of the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper.

Some of us who are against illegal immigrants being rewarded for breaking the law have a few words for President Bush to pass to President Fox.


“Americans are tired of being told that they are bigots by the likes of President Fox and Foreign Minister [Luis Ernesto] Derbez,” Rep. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, wrote in a letter yesterday to Mr. Bush.
“I respectfully request that you publicly make it clear to both men that their clumsy, over-the-top rhetoric about internal U.S. political matters pertaining to our border security is unwarranted and unacceptable.”

Here is how Mexico treats illegal immigrants into their country when they cross Mexico’s southern border.

Mexico accused of abusing its illegals


Many of the illegals in Mexico, who emigrate from Central and South America, complain of “double dangers” of extortion by Mexican authorities and robbery and killings by organized gangs.

The State Department’s Human Rights Practices report, released only last month, cites abuses at all levels of the Mexican government, and charges that Mexican police and immigration officials not only violate the rights of illegal immigrants, but traffic in illegal aliens.

Although Mexico demands that its citizens’ rights be protected when they illegally enter the United States, immigrants who cross illegally into Mexico “are often ripped off six ways until sundown,” says George Grayson, a professor at the College of William & Mary and a fellow at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

Mr. Grayson, who wrote a report for the center on Mexico’s abuses of aliens, says “very little” is being done by Mexico to protect the welfare of the Central Americans and the others who cross into Mexico.

Mexican President Vicente Fox said last week that his government will sue in U.S. or international courts if the volunteers — part of the Minuteman Project, which is designed to protest the Bush administration’s lax immigration policies — break the law.

Now we know why Fox fears the Minuteman Project. But we all know that effort has not been anything like what is done in Mexico. President Fox needs to work on what is being done in his own country.


Mr. Grayson says most of Mexico’s abuses occur along its 600-mile border with Guatemala, and that three groups — criminals, local police and immigration agents — account for most of the mistreatment. He said Mexico’s efforts to promote professionalization among its own border officials “thus far have achieved limited success.”

About 200,000 immigrants were detained last year on Mexico’s southern border, most of them from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Most of them were trying to reach the United States.

Vicente Fox acts in Mexico’s best interests, I just wish our President would act in America’s best interests. By closing our borders to illegals and not rewarding illegals already here.
