During the summit of American leaders in Monterrey, Mexico, the Mexican government welcomed President George Bush's proposed changes to U.S. immigration regulations.

On Monday, George Bush stated during the two-day summit that while the aim of his administration's proposal is not to grant amnesty to illegal foreign workers in the U.S., the implementation of this plan would balance the number of eager workers with employers willing to hire them. Mr. Bush also reminded that his administration's proposal must be approved by the U.S. Congress. It is estimated that among approximately 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States, half of them are Mexican.
