Toujour l' audace!
oops: Viva Osadía!
At a joint meeting of the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce [noooooo that’s not raacist—don’t be silly! *replaces “whites only” sign on water fountain*] and the California Chamber of Commerce yesterday;
Boasting that his country’s economy is stronger than ever before, Mexican President Vicente Fox told California business leaders Friday morning that Mexico has become a strong economic partner with the U.S. after three decades of struggle.
...what with all the US$ wandering Sud. Up to #2 source, iddn’t it—right after OOOOOIIIL?
"More that anything freedom is the driving force of change and modernization in Mexico..."
Yeah—the freedom to leave.
We’ve built a solid foundation for growth through job creation and a reduction of poverty,” he said, [rolling his eyes Northward]
While applauding the U.S. Senate for passing an immigration bill Thursday that would give millions of Mexicans in this country a way to stay here legally, Fox urged support for the economy of Mexico.
Is there any other time in history that the leader of a country has claimed pride in and touted as a success the fact that 1/10 of his population has fled his country for lack of work?
[no, really—I’m too history-challenged to know this. he’p me!]
"We’ve built an efficient, quality workforce,” he said. “
Yeah. I see ‘em every day—hanging around Home Depot parking lot and at a certain intersection just north of town.
Mexico is there, waiting for your investment."
Thanks, I already invested today. *burrito burp* [a ladylike *burrito burp*]
Ok—get out the duck tape for this next one: [seriously]
[don’t say I didn’t warn ya]
Fox also spoke briefly about the respect and pride his country has for the Mexican immigrants who have come to work in the U.S., and he said he is excited about Thursday’s vote in the U.S. Senate on immigration reform which he said will help support immigrants in fulfilling their destiny.
I warned ya.
