MERIDA, Mexico - President Bush tried to reassure Mexicans on Tuesday that he has not given up on overhauling U.S. immigration policy but they are increasingly skeptical he can deliver.
Bush promised to do his best to get a deeply divided U.S. Congress to change policies that are hated south of the border.
“My pledge to you and your government, but more important to the people of Mexico, is I’ll work as hard as I possibly can to pass comprehensive immigration reform,” Bush said during a sun-splashed arrival ceremony that opened two days of meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon in this Yucatan Peninsula tourist haven.
It's going to be a long drawn out fight to keep those trucks from Mexico out. The only way that will happen is if the Democrats want to put this on their agenda and fight Bush. I'm skeptical the Dems will want to go head to head with Bush. It seems they have much bigger items on their agenda that Mexican trucks.

And since when do we as Americans care about what the Mexican government thinks of our border policies? We need to worry about our own problems first, not a foreign country. Mexico's President likens the proposed border wall to the Berlin Wall. What the hell?

Calderon has lambasted the fence — a mix of physical and high-tech barriers. He likens it to the Berlin Wall, and argues that both countries need to improve Mexico’s economy to lessen the desire to seek work in the United States.
