WASHINGTON, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- After a meeting in Washington with President George W. Bush, Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon said he remains concerned about the immigration issue.
"I expressed to President Bush my concern regarding the issue of migration," Calderon said, speaking through a translator. "President Bush was very open to all the arguments that I have presented to him. And we both stressed the need to have a comprehensive vision with which we can move forward."
Calderon, like other Mexican officials, opposes the border fence authorized recently by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by Bush.
Making Mexico stronger economically will make its bilateral relationship with the United States stronger, Calderon said.
"We want to foster our trade relationship, our economic relationship even more," he said. "We both understand that the only solution to many of the problems that we have is to create well-paid jobs in Mexico. And for that, we need even more investment."
