Comments and reaction during Vicente Fox's first day in Utah:

"Utah has in Mexico an honest, true friend and partner. I sincerely hope the business relations, the academic relations and the cultural relations of the inhabitants of Utah and Mexico will be increasingly productive." — Mexican President Vicente Fox to business and civic leaders.


"Everybody would have liked to have heard about (immigration). But I think that's kind of an 800-pound gorilla." — Sen. Karen Hale, D-Salt Lake.


"It is not with fences we are going to solve this problem but hand-in-hand." — Mexican President Vicente Fox to Mexican-Americans.


"I am speechless. . . . His speech was great. . . . It was beautiful. A great gesture."Graciela Bartholomew, volunteer for Una Mano Amiga Mano (A Helping Hand).

"This is history." Ronaldo Luzanilla, West Valley City, after he and the Little League team he coaches greeted President Fox at the airport.


"It is a rare and historic honor to receive a visit from a leader as important as President Fox."Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.
