Mexicans who have passed security checks will be allowed to visit the U.S. for up to 30 days instead of the current three-day limit, government officials said Monday.

The change, long sought by Mexicans and border-state politicians, is a gesture that could help President George W. Bush win support in the election battleground states of Arizona and New Mexico. ..

New Mexico is one of 11 states where President Bush and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry are running even and could go either way in the November election. Kerry campaigned in Arizona on Monday, and Bush was to follow on Wednesday, evidence of the candidates intense struggle for the state's 10 electoral votes.

1. My first thought, an empty election promise!!

They will manage to get on the floor at some stage and put a trailer on it that would legalize the death penalty for abortion providers and then blame it's failure on the Dems. Something like that.
