Mexico president in US for talks

Mr Fox has said he is fairly optimistic the Senate will pass the legislation.

The US Senate is due to hold a procedural vote on Wednesday, clearing the way for final passage on Thursday.

Mr Fox is visiting the western states of Utah, California and Washington.

His first stop was Salt Lake City in Utah, where he gave a speech emphasising trade and energy ties to some 500 business and community leaders.

"The future of North America must guarantee great competitiveness, greater regional security, greater availability of energy, greater trade exchanges and, naturally, a greater well-being for all of its inhabitants," he said.

Later in the day he touched on the immigration debate.

"It's not with fences that we are going to solve this problem," he told groups active in the Mexican community in Salt Lake City.
