Vincente Fox, who as President of Mexico completely wiped out poverty and corruption in his own country has now deigned to give advice to us poor misguided Americans.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox said Monday that the United States is letting racism dictate its policies, especially when it comes to immigration.

“The xenophobics, the racists, those who feel they are a superior race … they are deciding the future of this nation,” he said, without naming names, in an interview with The Associated Press. [source]

Xenophobic racists; he sure knows how to sweet talk the American people.

In his first interview to promote his new book, “Revolution of Hope,” Fox applauded President Bush’s desire to pass an immigration accord that would allow more Mexicans to work legally in the U.S.

But he criticized Bush for failing to pass the promised reform.

“There was always a reason for why it couldn’t be done. ‘It is not possible because of the elections.’ He couldn’t touch the topic because this election is very important, or because security was more important,” Fox said.

How about because we don’t need an open immigration policy that would allow even more Mexicans to flood into the United States.

“So, when are they going to finally address it? It needs to be resolved.”

Fox said he hopes his new book, written in English, helps Americans understand the Mexican point of view on immigration.

“To be so repressive isn’t democractic or free … to be putting up fences, chasing Mexicans, that isn’t right,” Fox said. “The U.S. needs better answers than repression, weapons and violence.”

First off, Vincente Fox can kiss my ass. Second, if Americans want to build a fence on American soil Vincente Fox can just mind his own goddamn business. If Mexicans cross the border into our nation and fire on our people, we would be right to shoot back and hopefully kill the Mexicans who did the shooting.

Perhaps Mexico needs a better answer for it’s own people than, “go to America for a job and send the money back to Mexico”.
