Do You think that Mexican president Vicente Fox is Influencing our Immigration laws?

marabierto1961 is partially right and wrong the 12 million illegals are to blame but I've heard that some people in the mexican government give people manuals on the best ways of sneaking across the boarder, how much food and water to bring, landmarks and stuff like that!  As of the other stuff he said he must be suffering from a cranial rectal insertion complex, cause he is completely wrong!

While this isn't an answer, I'd like to share my thoughts on this.  Vicente Fox must be sitting back laughing his butt off over this situation.  Think about it...by encouraging illegal immigration, he has been able to solve one of Mexico's greatest problems; a burgeoning underclass of people who cannot find work.  He exports these people, eliminating a burden on his own weakened government, and in that same token, profits from those who have left as they work here in the US and send money back into the Mexican economy (some figures show that as much as $40B a year goes from illegals back into Mexico).  From Fox's perspective, this is a win-win...he gets rid of undesirables and benefits monetarily from their illegal exodus into the US without having to do anything on his own.  The biggest thing he has to do is maintain a façade of indignation over the treatment of people he doesn’t give a crap about to begin with.  We need to view this as what it really is…it is an invasion.  Or worse yet, a colonization of the South West under the approval of the Mexican government.

Definitely.  The issue seemed to arise from nowhere and suddenly the government is devoting 100% of their media time to it.  Bush has been criticized for his domestic policies and focusing too much on Iraq, so illegal immigration gives him a "worthy" cause at home... I imagine that he'll run his mouth for a few more weeks and then just drop the issue completely.

I don't know if they're shot, or as the 1st answerer said "routinely" (Sporadically?). I do know that it is a FELONY for anyone to enter Mexico illegally. All the others going on about liberty, and justice - liberty and justice does not mean doing what you want if it breaks the law. Illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed. Allowing unchecked immigration is allowing an invasion of American land! The Mexicans that want to come into this country should have to come in legally like everybody else! And back to the question - it would appear that El Presidente' Fox is quite the hypocrite, no?

Someone's jealous \n\nAs much as I wish things would change for the better, I really dont see the president powerful enough to affect any change.  Mexico is still run by big business and drugs.  Money is king.

Vicente Fox is the President of Mexico.

I think it's time we nut kick Vicente Fox. There have been numerous incursions of our land by both the Mexican military and federales who are escorting illegals and drug runners into the US. They have fired on Border Patrol Agents and local Law Enforcement Officers. This has been outlined by Arizona Rep Tom Tancredo on various news channels, yet it still goes on! The link from fireman shows the contempt this scum has for us, and it's still tolerated. JD is right again - time to lock and load! The only thing that's brown on my land that I won't shoot is my dogs! God Bless the USA!!!

Probably not.  Our own congressman has forgotten which side of the border he represents.  He does more for the Mexican Government and their people than he does his own.

Yes it will make a big impact on our youths and current drug users, now they can go to mexico and get these drugs that can cause serious harm to individuals. yes the president of Mexico is doing this on purpose due to immigration reform we are proposing. i see in the future some major trouble for both countries.

Well, you know he is in trouble when you see Laura Bush.  Lately she has been more and more visible.  Her poll numbers are quite a bit higher than his so they trot her all over the place to say whatever they think the public will buy. I love they way they are always pushing the spanish stuff!! Like when he was running for president the first time and he paraded his nephew around making sure that the Mexican voters would see that he was Mexican and was his "favorite" nephew!!  I guess you have to use whatever you have at your disposal.

Yes...We should adopt Mexico's immigration policy

He's not. Why is this so hard for people to understand. He is trying to stop criminal behavior. If you ask me he isn't doing enough. This isn't about Mexicans wanting to be in America, this is about illegal immigrants crossing our borders daily breaking our laws and exposing one of our weakest links in national security. The bleeding has gone on long enough, we need to stop this issue before we let the wrong people in our country (which it is too late, remember 911?). If a citizen of another country wants to work in America so that he/she can have a better more productive life, just be legal about it, that's it, end of issue.

I am 100% AGAINST ILLEGAL immigrants in the USA.\n\nHowever, I do believe that your statement is incorrect. Many U.S. citizens are improving the economy of Mexico, by purchasing property there.\n\nThere are actually some retirement communities springing up there.  The only difference is, WE DO IT LEGALLY!\n\n\n\nUpdate;\n\nHickemtwiddle,\n\nI really appreciate your note of correction to me. I feel it is very important and relevant to both your question and my answer. That is why I am going to copy it here;\n\nHello MsKnowItAll (chyrelanne), \n\nYou have received a message from another user! \n\nFrom: Hickemtwiddle \n\nSubject: Americans buying land in Mexico \n\nMessage: From a Fox Radio reprt I heard this morning, Mexico's Presidetn Fox has changed the law there. Now one must be a natural born Mexican citizen to own land in mexico. No Americans are buying land thre, but, they are leasing and renting it.\nMaybe you should check your own facts \n\n\nAll I can say is thank you! You are correct, I was not aware of that recent change in Mexican law. If I had been I am certain I would have answered differently. That now prompts the question, What happen to the land owned by citizens of the USA since the recent change of law?\n\nI am always grateful when to be shown a truth when I am mistaken. That is the only way to grow and expand.\n\n\nNow, to answer your question properly.\n\nI guess the reason for the double standard is because Mexico has a smarter immigration policy than the USA.\n\nYou would think that, that alone would make the ILLEGAL aliens in this country understand at least a part of our frustration.\n\nPlease understand, if people come here LEGALLY, I have no problem with it. It is only the ILLEGAL immigrant that I would like to see leav or deported en mass!. No matter what country they originate from.

We should be protesting every where he speaks.Do not let the head of Mexico's Drug Cartel's. Is this the kind of person we want to even listen to.\nAll he wants is to open up the borders free flow through our borders letting anyone in not just Mexico's poor but anyone that want to hurt this Country or that wants to sell his drugs for him if his Country is getting so they can not afford his drugs he is looking to branch out so what better place then the Country right next door.\n\nStop this guy he is a fox very cunning can not be trusted\nHe promote hatred to  America telling them that Texas and California is there land and Mexicans should invade America\n\nLet's think of America First and Protest every where he speaks

Heres ALL The Racism You Want\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\n\n\nMexico's President Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen demands on the United States, starting with open borders even before he was elected. He has called for the border to be “a joining line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican citizens illegally in this country — free healthcare, taxpayer-subsidized in-state tuition for illegals at state colleges and universities, guestworker programs and amnesty for all. \n\n                                                             **************************\n\nMexican American Legal Defense Fund founder Mario Obledo stated, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave. Every constitutional office in California is going to be held by Hispanics in the next 20 years.  People who don't like such demographic changes “should go back to Europe.” (Incidentally,  Senor  Obledo was also the California Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Gov. Jerry Brown.) \n\nMario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, "California is going to be a Hispanic state.  Anyone who doesn't like it should leave." \n\n\nObledo Is A Member Of "MEChA" And "LA RAZA"\n\n                                                 ********************\n\nThe newly "ELECTED"mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, joined the lawbreakers and proclaimed "this bill in Congress is wrong". Señor Villaraigosa said "The only thing illegal is making 11 million illegal aliens felons." Yeah, he Actually said that. People should make no mistake about it: Villaraigosa was "ELECTED" by ILLEGALs VOTING, and HIS Allegiance, along with the rest of these "ELECTED" public officials in California of Mexican ancestry is to Mexico, not California or these United States of America. Villaraigosa has spent a lifetime opposing U.S. immigration laws.\n\nVillaraigosa is A Member Of  "MEChA"  and  " LA RAZA"\n\n                                               *********************\n\nMEChA and the La Raza movement teach that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "AZTLAN" -- a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. As such, it belongs to the followers of MEChA. These are all areas America should surrender to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, enter to claim a majority, as in Los Angeles. The current borders of the United States will  be extinguished.\n\n \n\n The Council of La Raza succeeded in having itself added to congressional hearings by Republican House and Senate leaders. And an anonymous senator even gave the Council of La Raza an extra $4 million in earmarked taxpayer money, supposedly for "housing reform," while La Raza continues to lobby the Senate for virtual open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens. \n\n\n\n               http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=13863\n\n                      \n\n"We have an aging white America ...
