Utah Minuteman Project Objects to Visit
(KCPW News) The Utah Minuteman Project is planning a protest when Mexico President Vicente Fox visits Utah later this month. Organizer Alex Segura says the visit sends a message that Utah is friendly to illegal immigrants. The group hopes to demonstrate at the State Capitol during Fox's speech to lawmakers on May 24th. Their permit is on hold pending approval by the secret service. The Utah Minutemen advocate secure borders and strict penalties for illegal immigration. Segura says President Fox should be doing more to improve Mexico's economy and demand better wages for workers as a way to slow illegal border crossing.President Fox is expected to discuss immigration during his visit, but Governor Huntsman says the primary goal is to strengthen the economic relationship between Utah and Mexico. It will be the first-ever official visit of a Mexican president to Utah.

Tell that hypocrit fox to go deal with his own problems in Mexico and stop medling in American affairs. Also tell that jerk that if he wants the US to cater to his people then he had better be prepared to do that same for illegals aliens in Mexico.
