We must join forces, Fox says to workers
 
 
 
(Note: Bush family friend Fox -- and notably, AP reporters -- never mention the 70 percent of illegal INVADERS that are OTM -- Other Than Mexican -- in the pabulum they spew. The savvy reader will be asking why. Legal immigrants, in America to not only work but also earn citizenship, need no "amnesty," "guest worker status" or other Language Deception terms that serve only to make wealthy corporations more powerful as they pay lower wages to illegals. Fox is keenly aware of how vital the sending of "American money" home to Mexican families by those living and working in America, are to his country's economy. Check some of the 761 related articles to see the thoroughness with which Language Deception has pervaded the "free" press. Then read the quote by Oscar Callaway.)

Yakima, Washington - Mexican President Vicente Fox told hundreds of farmworkers Wednesday that neither his country nor the United States can go it alone in trying to fix immigration problems.

"It's clear the purpose is to reach an agreement that can give security, that can give legality, that can give flow to the migrant people," Fox said in Spanish on his second day of a four-day visit to the western U.S. "I think we are closer to the end of this route. This is a shared responsibility, the immigration reform."

Fox's speech came on the same day that the Senate voted overwhelmingly to limit debate on election-year immigration legislation. That cleared the way for final passage -- expected today -- of a bill that calls for tougher border security as well as an eventual chance at citizenship for millions of men and women in this country illegally.

Governor Chris Gregoire specifically pressed Fox to visit the eastern part of her state, where thousands of Hispanic workers, many of them illegal immigrants, labor in agriculture and make up as much as 90 percent of the population in some communities. Some Washington farmers are worried that a border crackdown could create a shortage of workers.

In Yakima, Fox toured a 700-acre cherry, apple and pear orchard and an apple-packing warehouse owned by Rene and Carmen Garcia. Their operation, G&G Orchards, is thought to be the only Hispanic-owned apple warehouse in the state.

"So far, we're looking for a bigger crop this year, and I'm getting nervous," Rene Garcia said. "We're not seeing the people circulating around looking for jobs."

Six busloads of farmworkers, farm owners and others welcomed Fox.

Enrique Diaz, 67, a farmworker originally from Colima, Mexico, has lived in Pasco for about 30 years. He said he came to make a better living and has been a citizen since 1976.

Diaz said he hopes the main message Fox walks away with is immigrants' need for amnesty.

Today, Fox is to attend a breakfast with business leaders in Seattle, visit a community health center and have lunch with other business groups. He then heads to California to address lawmakers and meet with [California] Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Earlier, Fox told the Utah Legislature that the most pressing issue for U.S.-Mexico relations is immigration.

"Since the beginning of my administration, the government of Mexico has promoted the establishment of a new system that regulates the movement of people across our border in a manner which is legal, safe and orderly," Fox said.

Fox said that his country does not support illegal immigration and that Mexico must expand economic growth so it is not necessary for people to seek work and benefits elsewhere.

Several dozen protesters gathered outside the state Capitol, waving American flags and carrying signs attacking proposals to offer illegal immigrants amnesty.

"In March 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." - U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917
