Foreigners are admitted into Nation “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 National 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)
National 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 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 National 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 $$ will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country
illegally.” (Article 123)
•
Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Nation
instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)
•
Foreigners who “attempt against national sovereignty or security” will be
deported. (Article 126)
Nationals who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered
criminals under the law:
•
A National 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 this nation
will be fined. (Article 132)
