Vicente Fox's open border policy
While US residents wrangle with the problem of illegal aliens crossing an unsecured border to find jobs and draw on public assistance, Mexico's President Vicente Fox praised these Mexicans and denigrates US citizens for not taking a stand against their illegal acts.
Mexico received $20 billion in 2005 funds sent to family and friends from illegal aliens working in the US. Those dollars are critical to the Mexican economy, contributing about 3% of the gross domestic income and about 10% of all import income.
In 2004 Mexico's annual income per person was $6770, certainly unimpressive by US standards, but on the world scene a very strong showing. Still, an illegal coming to the US can earn $16,000 - $20,000, live in communal housing with 10-20 other illegals holding down expenses and send at least half their income back to Mexico.
The Mexican economy counts on those dollars and Fox calls those Mexican illegally crossing the US border heroes. While the Mexican economy is far short of that of the US, it has grown to the extent that Mexico is now classified as a middle tier economy.
Fox counts on that income, encouraging Mexicans to cross our borders for US jobs, all the while denigrating US citizens for their anger and concern for the open borders and negative impact these illegals have on the US economy.
On the other hand, Fox's government exacts a heavy hand on Central and South Americans entering his country illegally on its southern border. They are hunted down, robbed, beaten, imprisoned and raped. They have no rights under the Mexican constitution, not even to protest or demonstrate against the Mexican government.
The mobs of illegals we've seen in the US in recent weeks would never occur in Mexico, they would find themselves immediately arrested, beaten, robbed and deported.
Any feigned concern Fox my express in the context of international relations can be completely discounted in the illumination of the acts of his government and statements made by him and his representatives.
Fox is in favor of open borders, but only on the northern side of his nation.
