if you've never read Mexico's immigration laws you should....
Mexico has a single, streamlined law, seeking to ensure 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, with no criminal record.
The law also seeks to ensure 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 terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported.
_ Anyone who aids in illegal immigration is imprisoned.
The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens, and the denial of many rights to non-citizens.
Mexico's main immigration law welcomes only foreigners deemed 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 that of their dependents. (Article 34)
_ Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence has upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics," if they are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," if they are not good citizens in their own country, if they have broken Mexican laws, or if "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 keep track of every person in the country:
_ Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request: i.e., help in the arrest of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)
_ A National Population Registry tracks every "individual who comprises (sic) the population of the country," verifying each individual's identity. (Articles 85 and 86)
_ A national Catalogue of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), assigning each a 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)
_ Deported foreigners who try to re-enter Mexico without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)
_ Foreigners who violate terms of their visa may be sentenced for up to six years in prison. (Articles 119, 120, and 121) Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa (as by working without 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 300 to 5,000 pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." (Article 123)
_ Foreigners with immigration problems may be deported, rather than imprisoned. (Article 125)
_ Foreigners who "(make attempts) against national sovereignty or security" will be deported. (Article 126)
Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are considered criminals:
_ 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)

Yes, they are very staunch when it comes to border control. Yet they are pushing their poor people into the United States. It's ironic, sad, depressing, & inferating all at the same time. It makes me sick how Mexico is such a GIANT hypocrite when it comes to immigration. They don't even like legal immigrants.
Mexico demands their immigration laws are fair and just only when it means deporting others out of the country. Let America deport illegals back to Mexico, we get human rights abuse,separating families, but let it be Mexico doing the deporting of others out their country they seem to forget what they demand from America they do not practice what they preach there.
@ Sparky - "enforce" @Miraclez - I savor your knowledgeable attitude - and you should pass slightly added. The tendency for many to comfortably categorize persons as you have confirmed is tragically incorrect. The MSM and others willingly or ignorantly, straight away or in a roundabout way, advocating a sparkling international Order vis a vis a North American Union might incredibly like so you might in basic terms see the numerous fact - basically adequate to control it so as that persons could be became against one yet another with the aid of basically categorizing them as "heartless", "racists" or as "freeloaders". Then sensationalizing and fanning the flames of those warm label subjects polarizes people who do not yet be attentive to the entire tale (i.e. the sheeples aka the ignorant hundreds) - some call this deceptive brainwashing. This perpetuates mandatory distractions from human beings seeing & accepting the entire fact. The distractions are mandatory because of the fact whilst everybody is preoccupying themselves with consistent with possibility appropriate factors of the immigration disaster, they are going to be stored from seeing the reality in the back of what's somewhat utilising the immigration bus. it is not basically "human beings needing a stronger existence" - God if in basic terms it have been that easy! do not settle for my be conscious for this - study & rfile it for your self - it is going to hit you over the pinnacle and you have a OMG! DUH! 2d or 2 as I and different fact SEEKERS finally experienced. it incredibly is a clue or 2 to set you on the enlightened course: the ecu mandatory Banking Cartel is the capacity on the precise taking area in the Machiavellian-designed immigration meltdown in the U.S. - it is a tactical capacity to an end for their maximum suitable objective, because it is been for nicely over a hundred years. maximum U.S. voters have not a clue what they're incredibly sacrificing "in the call of assisting their own financial equipment & concurrently assisting adverse illegals to a stronger existence" - it is a clever deception. awaken large question Sparky.
Yep. I've seen them and wish we had the same and that they were enforced with zero tolerance.
Some infer that the U.S. should hold itself to a higher standard. OK. Build HIGHER walls, charge HIGHER fines, HIGHER more BP Agents, put a much HIGHER emphasis on fairness to those who built this country, etc.
The only thing in the U.S. that should be taking so much cr@p is our HIGHER standard sewer systems.

Ya! and one year in a prison down here is like 20 in the states
We should implement them in the U. S. of A.
I especially like the marriage penalty.
That if ours were like theirs,we wouldn't have such an illegal immigrant problem.
They have their rules and regulations,however harsh.
But quite frankly the UK let anybody in and i don`t like that.
I wish we could be more like them.
yeah the majority of the people on this site have....so whats the point??? that they are more strict than the us and they stand by their laws?????
justme--but what if they dont do it for them to become a citizen??????
We should implement them as our own
