Mexico Immigration Law
Immigration Reform? Let's Try Mexico's Immigration Law!

Mexico's Immigration Law:
Let's Try It Here at Home By J. Michael Waller, Citizens for a
Constitutional Republic
Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most
Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven't been sharing
that idea with us as they press for our Congress to adopt the McCain-
Kennedy immigration reform bill.
That's too bad, because Mexico, which annually deports more illegal
aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it
handles the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an
illegal alien in Mexico.
At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring
American law in line with foreign legal norms, it's noteworthy that
nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration
and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal
immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures
that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
# in the country legally;
# have the means to sustain themselves economically;
# not destined to be burdens on society;
# of economic and social benefit to society;
# of good character and have no criminal records; and
# contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
# immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
# foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
# foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country's internal
politics;
# foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or
deported;
# foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or
deported;
# those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican
constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens -- and the denial of
many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the
constitution, the Ley General de Poblacion, or General Law on Population,
spells out specifically the country's immigration policy.
It is an interesting law -- and one that should cause us all to ask, Why
is our great southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own
immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are
the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a crime punishable by more
than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an
illegal alien in Mexico.
If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would
denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.
We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. [1]
Now let's look at Mexico's main immigration law.
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
# Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities
of contributing to national progress." (Article 32)
# Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful
elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their
sustenance" and for their dependents. (Article 34)
# Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the
equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed
detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave
like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican
laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally
healthy." (Article 37)
# The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of
foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest."
(Article 38)
Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the
country:
# Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal
immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of
illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
# A National Population Registry keeps track of "every single individual
who comprises the population of the country," and verifies each
individual's identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
# A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants
(Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number
(Article 91).
Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false
pretenses, may be imprisoned:
# Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned.
(Article 116)
# Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is
false or different from that which he normally uses" are subject to fine
and imprisonment. (Article 116)
Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or
imprisoned as felons:
# Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished.
(Article 117)
# Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the
country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years.
(Article 118)
# Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up
to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who
misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico -- such as working
with out a permit -- can also be imprisoned.
Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on
Population says,
# "A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to
five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the
country illegally." (Article 123)
# Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico
instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
# Foreigners who "attempt against national sovereignty or security" will
be deported. (Article 126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves
considered criminals under the law:
# A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping
the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in
prison. (Article 127)
# Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into
Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)
All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of
the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico's immigration
practices versus its American immigration preachings is telling. It gives
a clear picture of the Mexican government's agenda: to have a one-way
immigration relationship with the United States.
Let's call Mexico's bluff on its unwarranted interference in U.S.
immigration policy. Let's propose, just to make a point, that the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) member nations standardize their
immigration laws by using Mexico's own law as a model.

Obviously you've not been listening to what former Mexican president Vicente
Fox has been saying. he wants open borders in North America, that means
Mexico would have to scrap all those tough rules.
The goal of all Latin American nations is open borders. Brazil's Lula said
so recently and also Chavez wants an integrated Latin America. If Mexico has
tough immigration rules is because they were pressured by the U.S to do so.
Do you know why there are so few Chinese and Indians (from India) in Latin
America? Well, guess what? They were pressured by the U.S a long time ago to
adopt an Euro-centric immigration policy.

Cite? For what? Latin Americans are indeed hoping and working towards open
borders with each other. As to the other stuff, there was once something
called " The Asian exclusion Act of the Americas" The most active
participants were the U.S and Canada, Mexico passed their own Asian
exclusion act. This is a very difficult subject to research and seems
limited to scholarly journals.
Lets just say the U.S created the climate of the "Yellow Peril" and
encouraged the other countries to behave the same way.

The Latins can have all the open borders they want but america should not
join in. If we did we'd have hundreds of millions of filthy illiterate
muds moving here within a year.
