Republican opponents of liberalizing immigration law on Monday called Bush's plan an amnesty and predicted that it would face tough going in Congress.

"You might call it amnesty on the installment plan, you might call it amnesty after some sort of indentured servitude, but it's amnesty — and that is the worst type of public policy," said Rep. Thomas G. Tancredo (R-Colo.).

"If it's truly an amnesty program, it's dead on arrival," said Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-Simi Valley). "Even those of us who strongly support George W. Bush don't agree with him on every issue. I wasn't elected to be a rubber stamp."

Bush and Fox last met in October, on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in Bangkok, following a telephone conversation aimed at setting a reconciliation in motion.

Relations had been strained over Mexico's refusal to back a UN resolution explicitly authorizing the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, as well as tensions over immigration.

Moreover, the Mexican president canceled a visit to Bush's ranch -- a plum diplomatic prize -- after the US leader's home state of Texas executed a Mexican national.
