In September, lawmakers of the PRD managed to block Fox from giving his state-of-the-nation speech in Congress, which marked the first time in Mexican history this ever happened to a standing president. Later that month, President Fox was forced to change site of the annual Mexican Independence Day grito that traditionally took place in Mexico City’s central plaza.

It is easy and logical to see a binational immigration agreement, but I highly doubt. The truth is immigration is one of "bread and butter" issues for the politicians. It is their safety value when they run out of topics to beat over their oppenents. It happened in the 1840s with the Know Nothing Party, 1890s with the Anglo-Saxonist movement, 1920s with the KKK, 1960s, 1980s, 1990s and now. The question is, how much more does Mexico have to privatize its state-owned companies to satisfy the US. Since 1986, Mexico has privatized or eliminated more than 1,000 state-owned companies; approximately 252 companies still remain in state hands. PEMEX is partly privatized, Mexico only retains 51% of its 61 secondary petrochemical plants. In the US, we own Amtrak, Tennessee Valley Authority, Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the US Postal Service. Many states have government owned businesses for operations as well. Where exactly is Mexico supose to pay get its own funds when the rich are evading their duty to pay taxes, while ordinary citizens are forced to underwrite even more of the cost of government. We have lost every surpuse he had because of the tax loopholes BushCo continues to make for themselves. It was a good thing to see that too.

If Congress doesn't do anything stupid between now and when Cardenas takes office, the stage is set for a binational immigration agreement. I could see a quid pro quo where Mexico agrees to foreign investment in its energy sector if the US liberalizes its immigration policy toward Mexico.
