MEXICALI, Mexico (AP) - Top Mexican business leaders were developing ways Thursday to boost the economy and create jobs in a bid to stem illegal immigration to the United States, where authorities are tightening border security to stop illegal migrants from entering.
President Vicente Fox told the group Thursday that he shared the private sector's concern over the lack of security along the Mexico-U.S. border, but he said security, especially when it is related to organized crime, is a joint problem with the United States.
"We have a common problem. A shared responsibility on this border," Fox said. "To achieve this security, we have to work together and stop pointing fingers and assigning blame."
The business leaders presented their ideas to an audience that included Fox and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, among others, during a two-day Northern Frontier Forum in Mexicali, a Mexican border city in Baja California state.
