MEXICO CITY, March 18 (UPI) -- Mexican lawmakers demanded that President Vicente Fox present a migratory proposal when he meets with President George W. Bush, La Jornada reported Friday.
The majority of the Mexican House of Representatives approved a measure Thursday exhorting Fox to offer a proposal next week during the binational meeting in Texas that would permit Mexican workers to work 10 months seasonally and legally in the United States, with the promise to return to Mexico at the end of this period.
The proposal would give the millions of undocumented Mexicans working in the United States the opportunity to work there 10 months out of the year and return home for two months without becoming permanent residents and without letting family relationships disintegrate from the distance.
The proposal also says that to guarantee that the migrants return to Mexico, they would pay border migration offices on the border a fee of $2,500 before reentering the United States.
