Bush discusses security, illegal immigration with Fox in Mexico MIL/Agencies, Mar 31, 2006. Cancun, Mexico - North America's three top leaders sat down for one-on-one talks on border security, illegal immigration and terrorism, and were attending a dinner hosted by Mexican President Vicente Fox late Thursday. On Friday, they will join together for a trilateral meeting before President Bush returns to the United States. The two-day summit among Canada, the U.S. and Mexico is aimed at tightening border security. The U.S. president was prepared to discuss terrorist threats to the United States that come by land, but the other leaders have their own issues to bring up. The summit started off Thursday with a cordial visit to Mayan ruins. "This is a good start to a very important series of discussions," Bush said at Chichen-Itza, a sacred Mayan site in the Yucatan state. "We've got vital relations that matter to the future of our people." Bush, who wore a cream-colored Hawaiian shirt, traveled to the archaeological ruins by helicopter with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who took office two months ago as Canada's new Conservative leader. Fox met the two leaders at the site. The three leaders spoke briefly to reporters after the regional director of the country's national institute of anthropology and history detailed different points at the site. The three also heard a traditional band play music, walked around a large plaza and climbed about half a dozen steps of the pyramid at the center of the site.
