Vicente Fox States Quotations

I part of this great nation because my grandfather was born here, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He took a horse, back in 1895, and ride it all the way down to Guanajuato, looking for his American dream. No penny in his pocket, only dreams in his head. And he was an immigrant coming from the States into Mexico. And he found his American dream in Mexico.

Let me tell you that I love the United States.

What Mexicans want and aspire to, is to go there and work temporarily and raise some money and come back home. That's what they want, so nobody's asking for those two, three million Mexicans that are illegally in the United States to become American citizens.

Mexico is the only country in the world that has a trade agreement with United States and Canada, and at the same time has one with Europe. These are the two largest markets in the world. By the same token, Mexico has one of the most open economies.

If we haven't reached a complete resolution up until now, that only encourages us to continue struggling, trying to convince people of the benefits of a migration deal, which is greatly in the interests of the United States and Mexico.

Mexico and the United States are nations which are neighbors and friends which should always have solidarity in moments of difficulty,

We recognize the value to those who come to the United States to work, to study, to contribute, and we appreciate what this will do to the flow of visitors, now that they will not have to be photographed or fingerprinted at the front-end of short visits to the United States,

This week, I will announce a decree to minimize the impact of this unfortunate disaster in the United States on Mexican families and national industry,

The United States can benefit from the work and the effort of the Mexican people as much as we Mexicans can benefit from working with the American market, with American investors,
