In a series of interviews to promote his new book, Revolution of Hope, former Mexican leader Vicente Fox has trumpeted rampant globalization and has declared anyone who opposes such "harmonization" and diminishment of sovereignty "racist" and "xenophobic".
Over the course of a week Fox has called for a North American Union, a single North American currency and a complete overhaul of the U.S. immigration policy to allow more Mexicans to legally enter the country.
To the wild cheers of the Daily Show audience Fox called for U.S. immigration reform stating "It's my impression that fear is guiding public opinion here and xenophobia. They are thinning the space because Congress has not decided yet, it is a hundred year old issue, immigration, and I think they can come up with a very wise solution to immigration because it's a win-win situation, everybody will be better off."
When asked if he supported globalization through NAFTA, Fox responded:
"Yes, absolutely, NAFTA has been good, as a matter of fact we should have a new vision, go further, integrating and working together to build a better future for both.
"That happened with Spain and with the European Union with them joining the union and having access to those huge cohesive bonds, they were able to overcome poverty and today Spain, or Ireland or Greece or Portugal are all very successful nations, what you need is a little bit of solidarity."
Stewart then went on to ask "Would you like to see a North American Union with the U.S. Mexico, and Canada, you want Canada in there?"
