Bush reassures doubtful Mexico on immigration

MERIDA, Mexico (Reuters) - President George W. Bush tried to reassure increasingly sceptical Mexicans on Tuesday that he has not given up on overhauling U.S. immigration policy despite failing in Congress last year. snip

Mexico's importance to U.S. business and trade is unrivalled in Latin America. Yet a sense of neglect has set in as Bush, who promised to make Mexico a priority when he took office in 2001, has become distracted by the Iraq war, which has made him even more unpopular in Latin America than he is at home.

In Mexico City, hundreds of demonstrators carrying signs bearing slogans like "Bush, Assassin, we don't want you as a neighbour" protested Bush's visit by throwing rocks at heavily armoured riot police guarding the U.S. Embassy. snip

Calderon told a Mexican newspaper he did not have high hopes for Bush's visit, which ends on Wednesday, and said he wanted Mexico to get closer to Communist-run Cuba.
