Schwarzenegger, Fox to discuss immigration

Also, a legal immigrant (the governor of our state, no less) meeting with the president of most of our illegal immigrants.

Some of Fox's words and actions regarding illegal Mexican immigrants are truly annoying. It's interesting timing for his trip to the U.S. just as we're trying to get immigration legislation through our Congress.

Note Fox's encouragement for our proposed guest-worker program. Of course he would support our guest-worker program. Look at the benefits for Mexico and Mexicans - either here or back home - if we were to have a such a program.

It's all rather bizarre.

Fox is well aware of the fact that money sent home to Mexico by illegals in the U. S. is a major source of income for his country.

Fox is also up for re-election soon. Many of the illegals here will be voting in that Mexican election; in essence, it does appear that Presidente Fox is doing some of his campaigning right here in our good old U. S. of A.

Imagine if the tables were turned and our president went to Mexico (or any other country) to campaign among American voters?

What I'd really like to see is a Mexican president who works at making Mexico a better place, a place where its citizens can readily get work at decent wages. Clearly Mexicans would prefer to stay in their own country.

Again, there's much bizarre here.

FWIW, as far as that controversial guest-worker program is concerned, I don't like it for the simple reason that the "guests" wouldn't be "guests", they'd simply stay here, hoping to pass unnoticed, just as they're doing right now. What's the point?
