QUESTION: And on Mexico. President Fox called yesterday to the U.S. Government to stop the rates on Mexican immigrants in the U.S. And I understand, the Embassy of Mexico has sent a dramatic note to the State Department today -- MR. BOUCHER: To stop what? QUESTION: The rate of illegal immigrants. MR. BOUCHER: Into the United States. QUESTION: In the United States, is what he called it yesterday. MR. BOUCHER: I don't -- I'm sorry, I didn't see the statement. I'm not specifically clear on what we're being asked about. We'll have to look it up and see if there's anything to say. QUESTION: Okay. MR.

QUESTION: But are you going to respond to them? MR. BOUCHER: I think I just did. They had a press conference, issued a public statement. I just made a public statement and let that be it.

I don't think I need to single out those that are taken by former diplomats or former generals. [ ... ] [ End ] Copyright © 1999-2002 American Immigration LLC, ILW.COM
