Summary
On September 6, 2001 – five days prior to the tragic events of 9/11 – Vicente Fox Quesada, then president of Mexico, addressed the United States Congress regarding the changing diplomatic relationship between Mexico and the United States. In that speech, which discussed the need for immigration reform and more trust between the two nations, President Fox Quesada made a call for Mexicans in the United States to return to Mexico and help “modernize” the country with the experiences and technology that they had learned during their tenure abroad. He stated: “And let me also salute the Mexican migrants living in this country and say to them, Mexico needs you. We need your talent and your entrepreneurship. We need you to come home one day and play a part in building a strong Mexico.” This statement, which was followed by thunderous applause from the U.S. Congress, continued with the following remarks: “When you return and when you retire, we need you to come back and help us convince other Mexicans that the future lays in a prosperous and democratic Mexico. My dear countrymen, Mexico will not forget you and will support you. We will not fail you.”
