STORYLINE
A day after his meeting with US President George W. Bush, Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon said on Friday he was optimistic Washington would push through a comprehensive immigration overhaul.
Calderon made the comments during a meeting with Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is a strong supporter of a guest-worker programme.
Schwarzenegger, on a two-day trade mission to Mexico, was accompanied by California farmers who have complained that a crackdown on immigration had caused labour shortages.
During his visit, the governor said a planned US border wall is "an incomplete way" of solving illegal immigration and that both California and Mexico would benefit from legalising workers.
Calderon has called the US plan to build a 7-hundred-mile-long fence along the nearly two-thousand mile border "deplorable" and compared it to the construction of the Berlin Wall.
US President George W Bush, who signed the law authorising the fence on 26 October, also wants more temporary worker permits for foreigners willing to take low-wage jobs and a path for illegal immigrants working in the United States for some time to become citizens, but the current Republican-dominated Congress has not agreed.
With Democrats taking over, some have expressed hope there may be movement on a migration accord, a top priority of outgoing Mexican President Vicente Fox.
