  FOXNews.com - Mexico's Fox Won't Apologize for Racial Comment - U.S. & World

  MEXICO: Vincente Fox   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I assumed that Fox spoke good English, and I have received several messages saying he does, since he studied at Harvard.
I suspect that in Canada he spoke in Spanish because it was an official address rather than a press conference (in Mexico he addressed one in English) and because he wanted to avoid the English-French problem.
With the name "Fox," his family is obviously of Anglo, I believe American.

  Vicente Fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fox was born in Mexico City to a wealthy Mexican family of mixed Spanish-Irish descent (his father was of part-Irish descent and his mother from the Spanish province of Asturias) of Guanajuato.

Fox could find himself with a dismantled government, as happened with Cuauhtemoc Cárdenas when he took over as head of government of the Federal District in December, 1997, with no files, no budget, no computers, no tables, not even chairs, without a pencil and with hidden microphones in several offices.

 [No title]
For Vincente Fox, Mexican workers are merely "migrating" to the US when they enter illegally, as if these circumstances are natural in the scheme of things.
Vincente Fox can squeal all he wants but most Americans understand the following: This era of Mexicans and other Latin Americans illegally entering our nation will be forced to wind down, given its negative impact upon our homeland security and our other vital systems, particularly healthcare, education and criminal justice.
Fox is also bent out of shape regarding the Fed's green light to Arizona's Proposition 200, the voter-approved initiative that denies some public benefits to illegals. For taxpayers, "enough is enough" and they certainly don't want to bankroll illegal aliens at current levels.
