Several media pundits and think tanks like COHA judged the Castañeda Doctrine "overtly submissive" to the United States. COHA's opinion was based on Mexico's support of Guatemala for a seat in the UN Security council, instead of supporting Venezuela, the contending candidate for the seat.

Immigration

During Fox's administration, Mexico pushed for "comprehensive" reform of U.S. immigration law that addressed the problem of Illegal immigration to the United States. The issue had been called "The Whole Enchilada" by Fox's administration, which stated that "immigration reform in the United States should address mutual border problems, the rights of undocumented immigrants, and the development of regions in Mexico that 'expel' migrants". [46] However, according to former U.S. ambassador to Mexico Jeffrey Davidow, all discussions between the parties on immigration were informal. [47]

The immigration reform that Fox sought included a guest worker plan. Fox said, "The best thing that can happen to both our countries is to have an orderly flow, a controlled flow, of migration to the United States". [48] This reform was supported by President Bush and approved by the U.S. Senate, however, the bill was rejected by the House of Representatives. [49] According to the Washington Post, the hopes were complicated by the recent approval of the SBI (Secure Border Initiative), a bill that includes building a 700-mile (1,100 km) triple fence between the U.S. and Mexico. [50]

During Fox's presidency the net migration rate in Mexico increased 152% from −2.84 migrants per 1,000 inhabitants [51] to −4.32; [52] in the same period, population growth decreased 35% from 1.57% [53] to 1.16%. [52] Fox, who was said to be "proud" of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. [54] has acknowledged the importance of remittances by both legal and illegal Mexican workers in the U.S. (now the #1 source of revenue for the country). [55] [56]

Castañeda Doctrine

Andrés Manuel López Obrador criticized the "Castañeda Doctrine", saying that Mexico should not "get involved in the internal lives of other people, because we do not want other people involved in our internal lives". [57] Indeed, the new foreign policy doctrine openly invited other nations to scrutinize Mexican affairs, criticizing the Estrada Doctrine as offering an excuse to ignore foreign criticism. [41] Finally, José Galán, an editorialist in La Jornada , accused the Fox administration of not doing enough to stop border violence against Mexican nationals. [58]

Iraq War

During the country's tenure as a rotating member of the UN Security Council, Mexico did not support the U.S-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, [59]

Plan Puebla Panama

Fox promoted a regional development initiative called Plan Puebla Panama, later renamed Proyecto Mesoamérica, which focused on infrastructure, economic development and growth, and market connections between Mexico and seven Central American economies. The pro-business orientation of the plan faced criticism from the Zapatista rebels and some civil society groups in Central America. [60] [61] [62] The plan envisioned US$20 billion over 25 years to create a development corridor, [62] funded in part through matching funds from the private sector and from international financial institutions. [60] Fox's successor Felipe Calderón expressed interest in continuing the plan but gave it no new funding midway through his term in office. [60]

2005 Summit at Mar del Plata

The Fourth Summit of the Americas took place on November 4 and the 5th in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Fox assisted with the other 33 presidents of countries in the Americas. [63] Fox attempted to restart talks on the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). [64] However, discussion on the FTAA was not in the agenda of the Summit. [65]

Upon his arrival Hugo Chávez, president of Venezuela, declared: [66]

Today the FTAA is dead and we are going to bury it here. We are here to change the course of history.

Fox responded that the FTAA could be created with all of the countries in the Americas with the exception of Venezuela or the countries of the Mercosur. [67]

Marco Aurelio Garcia, one of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's closest advisers, declared that Fox was too hasty in supporting the FTAA. [65] Garcia declared that Fox's comment that the FTAA would be created with or without the Mercosur angered many. [65] Fox did not applaud after Argentine President Kirchner's presentation, and when Fox attempted to raise the issue of the FTAA, Kirchner retorted that the FTAA was not on the Summit agenda. [68] Fox responded to the press declaring that Kirchner was more concerned with pleasing people in his country than the success of the Summit. Kirchner replied that Fox should attend to the Mexicans because it was the Argentine people who voted for him. [68]

The parliamentary groups of the PAN, PRI, PRD and PVEM in the Senate approved a motion to express their disillusionment about the performance of Fox and Derbez, his Secretary of Foreign Affairs, at the Summit [69]

Education, science, and technology

According to René Drucker, coordinator of basic science research for National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), "no other government in recent history has neglected research in the basic sciences as Fox's". [70] Fox's plan for the Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología, (CONACYT), was that by 2006 this organization would receive 1% of GDP. However the budget for this organization for 2006 reached only 0.33%. [71] [72] Federal government investment on Research and development in 2004 was 0.41% in Mexico versus 0.95% in Brazil and 0.6% in Chile. [73]

José Vasconcelos Library

The José Vasconcelos Library, labeled by the press as the "Megabiblioteca" ("megalibrary"), was Fox's largest investment in infrastructure. The library is spread on 38,000 square metres (410,000 sq ft) [74] and had an initial planned cost of 954 million pesos (roughly 98 million dollars). [75]

Fox inaugurated the library on May 16, 2006, declaring it one of the most advanced constructions of the 21st century, and that it would be spoken of throughout the world. [76] The inauguration took place a week before the deadline the president had to promote his accomplishments before the 2006 Presidential election. [77]

The library had to be closed in March 2007 because of construction defects. [78] The Superior Auditor of the Federation detected 36 irregularities and issued 13 motions of responsibility for public servants. [78] Among the irregularities was the misplacement of marble blocks. Repairs cost 15 million pesos (roughly 1.4 million dollars). [78]

During the Calderón administration restoration efforts cost another 32 million pesos (roughly 3 million dollars) [79]

Texcoco and San Salvador Atenco

In 2001, Fox announced the construction of a 2.3 billion dollar international airport in the municipalities of Texcoco and San Salvador Atenco in the State of México to relieve congestion at the overcrowded Mexico City airport, the busiest in Latin America. This new airport would bring thousands of new jobs to an area ravaged by extreme poverty. [80]

The proposed airport plan would relocate 4,375 families and convert 5,000 hectares (12,000 acres) of farmland. [81] Peasants from these areas resisted relocation and formed the Community Front in Defense of Land in 2002. The protests turned violent as protesters took hostages and state forces had to negotiate their release, while Fox announced no change in plans had been considered. [82] After the federal government's failure to negotiate with the farmers, plans for the new airport had to be abandoned. The protesters, many of whom wore black ski masks made famous by rebels in Chiapas became instant heroes to poor farmers nationwide. [83] while journalists, like Sergio Sarmiento called this issue "the biggest failure" of Fox's tenure and declared:

The precedent is terrible. Never before has the government so openly promoted the use of violence to resolve conflicts. [83]

This is in spite of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre. [84] Jorge Montaño, a former Mexican ambassador to the United States considered Fox was "naive" to think farmers would easily give up their lands and that his government should have taken more time negotiating with the farmers instead of simply sending out engineers to measure runways and calculate flight paths. Montaño also declared that the compensation these farmers were offered were the minimum allowed under the law (3,000 pesos an acre, roughly 275 US dollars) before raising the offer to 21,000 pesos an acre (1,900 US dollars). [83]

After the cancellation, 76% of Mexicans polled thought more unrest would follow the president during his term. [83]

In May 2006, the PRD-led municipal government was attempting to relocate a group of flower vendors from a market of Texcoco. [85] The group refused to leave and asked the assistance of the Community Front in Defense of the Land who confronted the police with machetes. The situation escalated and police officers were held hostage by the protestors. [85] State and federal forces were sent to the site. [86] According to municipal workers the protesters had felt invincible since the airport incident. [86] The confrontation resulted in two deaths and dozens of injuries. On November 9 of the same year, the Attorney General's office admitted to torture and sexual abuse against the protesters. [87]

Fox blamed the Atenco group, led by Ignacio Valle, for the incident and ordered his arrest calling the group an "insult to society". [88] In October 2006, two months before leaving office, Fox declared that the social conflicts of Atenco and Chiapas were solved and that Oaxaca would be solved before his successor took office. [89]

Institutional image

President Fox was the first President to have an institutional image that did not display the complete National Coat of Arms, causing controversy. The use of the slashed eagle (águila mocha, in Spanish), as it was called by critics (the word "mocha" having a negative connotation, mocho meaning both chopped and prudish Catholic), was extended to all the dependencies of the Executive Branch substituting the Seal of the United Mexican States (located at the bottom right corner of the Institutional logo) by the acronym of the dependencies. Successor President Felipe Calderón returned to using the complete coat of arms. [90] Apart from criticism to showing only part of the Nation's Coat of Arms, some criticized the inclusion of the color blue to the Administration's institutional image (used in one-color depictions of the logo), as said color is associated to Fox's PAN party, and to a presumptive "F"-like band in the bottom of the image, which, critics suggested, gave more emphasis to Fox's personal image than to the Institution of the President.

2006 presidential election

Fox openly supported Santiago Creel to become the PAN candidate in 2006. When Felipe Calderón was chosen, Fox endorsed him. On Chapter 14 of Luis Mandoki's Who is Mr. López? documentary titled "Foxilandia" [91] Alfonso Durazo, Fox's former personal secretary, declared that no previous President was ever as active campaigning as Fox. After Calderón's win, López Obrador contested the elections. The Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Power of the Federation declared the election to be clean but highlighted Fox's influence, declaring that it was the greatest irregularity in the election. Alfonsina Bertha Navarro, minister of the Electoral Tribunal, declared: [92]

Let's remember that he made indirect or metaphoric comments that affected the competing political positions in the election, and even made explicit mentions related to the process; an interference that constitutes the greatest irregularity detected during the development of the process

In August 2006, El Universal polled 600 people in Mexico City, where López Obrador served as Head of Government from 2000 to 2005. 59% believed that the 2006 elections were fraudulent and 63% believed votes should have been recounted. [93] In February 2007, Fox declared about the desafuero process of López Obrador: [94]

I had to retreat and lost. But 18 months later, I got even when my candidate won.

When Fox took office on December 1, 2000, his approval rating neared 80%, being the first president in 71 years who wasn't a member of the PRI. During the rest of his presidency, his average approval rating was of 53%, while his average disapproval rating was of 40%.

As seen in the graphic, after taking office the particularly high points of his approval ratings were:

While the lowest points of his approval ratings were:
