Mexico wants
amnesty plan
(AP) — The chances that the
U.S. Congress will overhaul immi
gration rules have increased with
the end of the political season and
the improvement o f security along
the ll.S.-Mexican border. Secretary
of State Colin Powell saidTuesday
in Mexico.
But Powell cautioned that ap
proval of the first major immigration
changes in 18 years would depend
on the new Congress that will take
office in January.
“We don’t want to overprom
ise,” Powell told a news conference
during discussions in Mexico City
on a broad range of cross-border
issues. Joining Powell for his 20-
hour stay in Mexico were five fel
low Cabinet secretaries.
Powell met with Mexican Presi
dent Vicente Fox, who has made
migration reform in the United
States a top foreign policy priority.
Fox says the millions of Mexicans
who work in the United States
should have legal status there so
they can live without fear of arrest
and deportation.
During his discussions, Powell
said he reaffirmed President Bush's
“plan to work with our new Con-

Powell indicated he is pleased
with Mexican cooperation on that
issue.
“We are coming out of the 9/11
period and doing a better job of
securing our border,” he said. He
also suggested Congress may be
freer to act next year, mindful that
no member faces an election until
2006.
Fox said the time is ripe for an
immigration accord. “We have done
all the analysis, diagnostics and
problem solving possible,” Fox said
in a radio interview M onday.
“T here’s no reason to lose much
time.”

Uribe said he considers this high
