Former Mexican President Vicente Fox was at the XM Satellite Radio studios yesterday afternoon taping an interview with Bob Edwards promoting his new book, "Revolution of Hope."

During the interview, Fox said the 700-mile wall that Congress authorized to be built between the two countries "is not up to the democratic standards of this great nation. It's not up to the ideals of the Founding Fathers." He encouraged the US government to use the billions of dollars that would go into the wall, which in his opinion would end up being built by Mexicans, and put it into programs that would invest in Mexico and its people.

The Fox interview is scheduled to run on "The Bob Edwards Show" next Tuesday, October 16th (which just happens to be my birthday) from 8-9am ET on XM Public Radio (ch 133).

In "Revolution of Hope," President Fox outlines a new vision of hope for the future of the Americas. He speaks out forcefully on hot global topics like immigration, the war in Iraq, racism, globalization, the role of the United Nations, free trade, religion, gender equity, indigenous rights and the moral imperative to heal the global divide between rich and poor nations.
