Fox greets ACEC Chairman Tim Psomas. n a wide-ranging speech former President of Mexico Vicente Fox spoke frankly about Mexican/American relations and global issues. Fox, president of Mexico from 2000 to 2006, congratulated ACEC “for your 100 years of service and for what you have done for this great nation and for the world.” Addressing the lingering international financial crisis, Fox predicted that the United States “will come out of this difficult economic time and return to growth fairly soon.” Fox said that since 9/11, American immigration policies have been “xenophobic.” He added, “We must build bridges instead of walls.” Fox supports U.S. immigration policies that would allow undocumented workers already in the United States to remain here, either as guest workers or on the track to citizenship, as provided in the original proposals set forth by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz).
