"Mexico has extremely strict immigration law for both legal and illegal immigrants. Certain legal rights are waived in the case of foreigners, such as the right to a deportation hearing or other legal motions. In cases of flagrant delicts, such as a person declaring they entered the country illegally, any citizen may make a citizen's arrest on the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities. Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appartenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. [1] Mexicans have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. Foreigners can serve in the military only during wartime.[2]"

They may be hypocrites, but I bet their government actually enforces their immigration laws. I wish ours would.

Well the thing is that in Mexico they protect the citizens, Other wise we will have the same problem as you do, and as long as it is really hard to get a job without being a citizen.
You should thank the Mexican authorities because they send more than half of the Central americans that try to go through the Mex-Us border..
About the jobs all over the world is the same, first they feed their people then is there is something left they feed the others..Live in Canada and is the same..

Every country has the ability to make whatever immigration policies they want. America has always been very open and liberal and they are getting kicked in the face for their kindness. Mexico telling us what to do? Anybody telling us what to do is INSANE! There are countries I would join with in a heart beat......Mexico isn't one of them. Oil and water. Doesn't mesh. I ....sorry.....no thankyou.

Calderon is now trying to put in a guest worker program just so we can't point to theirs in discussing ours. However, those on the guest worker program if they were going to stay somewhere illegally would likely just use Mexico, with its limited benefits, as a pass through to get here, so I don't find it very convincing.
In any event, he hasn't passed it yet.

They have the right to have any immigration policies that they find necessary, as do we. They are hypocritical in complaining about us while keeping their laws (and enforcement of them!) so strict.

Unfortunately they have balls and we the American people have lost ours. We have been putting up with our government officials shoving amnesty down our throats. WE need to take a stand and let them know this is unacceptable!! They need to enforce our laws!!
Sorry I'm a little pissy about this. =)
