Follow-up: Vicente Fox Is Asked By US Government To "Reconsider" Drug Law...And Of Course, He Does.

Well, Mexico and junkies everywhere can kiss that new drug legalization law good-bye. US officials urged Fox to "re-examine" the law "to ensure that all persons found in possession of any quantity of illegal drugs be prosecuted or be sent into mandatory drug treatment programs," even though the law would have allowed people to possess small amounts at any time. They also warned him that it would promote "drug tourism".

Hm...perhaps "drug tourism" is code for "if you don't send this bill back, you're going to have your own immigration problems as every drug aficionado north of your borders will be wading through the Rio Grande into Mexico just to be able to snort, smoke, swallow, and inject legally".

Ah, as always, Fox proves how much he loves Bush and how much he hates his own country by getting on his knees once again. I hope you have kneepads, good buddy. All that bending you do for the US must take its toll, I'm sure.
