Abstract
The former Mexican president, Vicente Fox (2000–2006), a member of the National Action Party (Partido Accion Nacional [PAN]), was not only the first president to be elected from a party other than the Institutional Revolutionary Party (Partido Revolucionario Institucional [PRI]) that had ruled Mexico since 1929 but was also the first president to recognize the importance of Mexicans living abroad. Indeed, he contributed to a marked change in the character of Mexican national discourse by referring, during his first weeks in office, to emigrants in the United States as “heroic paisanos,” heroic patriots, and “true heroes.”1
