Sometime in the next few years, Mexico will pass Canada as the U.S.'s top trading partner. Hispanics have overtaken African Americans as the country's largest minority, the swing vote to woo, the constituency to grab. If Presidents George W. Bush and Vicente Fox manage to solve the problems of two countries that need each other but don't completely trust each other, the American Century could give way to the Century of the Americas and the border might as well have disappeared altogether...
...first time in years, maybe ever, both the U.S. and Mexico have leaders who understand this region, know that in some ways their hemisphere's economic future may depend on whether they can fix what is broken here. Bush met with Fox three times in his first 100 days, blowing away the old once-a-year tradition. Fox dreams of a day when the border will open and his countrymen will no longer flee to survive.

Said Harper in his best policy-wonk style: "We have got to think continentally...
...come in the form of tax-preferred savings accounts set up in their country of origin. Bush has stressed that because he does not believe illegal acts should be rewarded, the visas would provide no "automatic" path to permanent residency and citizenship. But, as he told Mexican President Vicente Fox last week, guest workers can "get in line," like all other applicants. Bush has promised that laws against hiring illegal aliens would be more stringently enforced. And bowing to the need to win over hard-liners in his party, he has called for more resources to guard the borders against...
