Mexico’s Immigration Law?

Question

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

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

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 Población, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.

If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.

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)

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)

Answer 1

They want it both ways. They want to deport all the poor coming across their southern borders and send their own poor uneducated citizens here to us. I wonder who picks their fruit and cleans their toilets? Just a little joke, as I know illegals get plenty of good jobs here. We should make our laws similar to theirs, except maybe only jail the ones who return after being deported the first time. We definitely need to crack down on the employers of illegals, and only basic help should be given to the illegals we catch here, just until we can send them home.

Answer 2

Mexican Bandido......says to check the Mexican way of immigration, we tried, that's what the marches have been approximately whilst a congressmen tried to pass a bill announcing it can be a legal to be here illegally, however the Mexican activests and the Mexican Bandido had their mouth stretched over it, and we've been called racists. yet whilst Mexico has it as regulation its all appropriate, Mexican Bandido make up your thoughts. If the Mexicans have the regulation that's ok, if the human beings prefer the regulation have been racists.

Answer 3

We have many such laws and don't enforce them. The issue isn't that illegals are not paying taxes - the issue is that we don't enforce the laws on illegals or on employers.
