Tells Texas audience he wants 'integration' to speed upThe former president of Mexico told a Texas audience he envisions a European Union-like plan working well across North America, and he would like the "integration" process to speed up.
The comments raised red flags for officials with Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, who wrote, "Does everyone understand now why they have let over 15 million illegal aliens enter and remain in the U.S.?"
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox spoke in San Antonio March 27, talking about trade, the drug war immigration reform and other issues.
According to the San Antonio Express, Fox expressed the hope that Canada, the United States and Mexico would function like the European Union.
"It's an extremely successful model," said Fox. "My vision is to speed up the process of further integration."
His address was before the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute's Future Leaders Conference.
The report said Fox acknowledged the difficulty of establishing such a union in the Americas because of opposition, but he noted the ascent to the White House of President Barack Obama and his administration.
"Hope is back again," Fox said.
