Should we implement Mexico's immigration policy?

Question

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned: (Article 116)
Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for 10 years. (Article 118)
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 illegally. (Article 123)
Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets the equilibrium of the national demographics (basically legal racial discrimination). Article 37)
When you want to acquire permanent residency AND you want to work:
You will need to satisfy requirements for entry (e.g. professional, sponsored by a company, etc), or be able and prepared to invest at least 40,000 times the minimum wage in Mexico City.

Would pro-illegal immigration people have a problem with us adopting the same laws as Mexico?

Answer 1

HELL yes!!!! We should adopt their immigration policy. Maybe then they will understand illegal is illegal.

Answer 2

Illegals are lawbreakers yes,but our government thru the decades has looked the other way,and now it's too late to do anything about it,the sensible thing would be to build the wall and put the military at the border instead of having them in Iraq but sense and government don't go hand in hand. As for the statement that no american citizen wants to live in Mexico,there must be a lot of american fools then because there are areas inside Mexico where it looks like Arizona complete with Starbucks.

Answer 3

Hey, so I'm a xenophobe: I don't like a bunch of people who aren't like me. But I do think I have one thing going for me and that is that I'm a US citizen, and I think it should mean something. And it bothers me that we are just giving it away. If a little POS country like mexico (not even going to capitalize the name of it on purpose) can have such restrictive laws on immigration, I think that a country as great as ours should have some at least as tough. And you know what else??? There is a reason that virtually no person knows mexican immigration law... No person with a brain would want to live there by choice. Not my fault that they are corrupt. Maybe if all these "hard working undocumented workers" who love freedom and democracy and the benefits contained therein were to stay and work hard to change their own country we wouldn't have to be the world's lifeboat.

Answer 4

Pro-illegal immigration people would definitely have a problem with any law that identified them as criminals and prosecuted them accordingly. Allowing USA citizenship and subsequent welfare benefits to the child of an illegal alien who comes to this country just to bear her child...at tax-payer expense, yet...is a crime commited by this government daily!!!!!!!!!There is absolutely no justification to grant citizenship to the child born here of an illegal alien...100 years ago, this was helpful when our country was still not settled from border to border, helpful as an incentive to get needed immigrants to come here, legally or otherwise.

Answer 5

I am not a fan of holding ourselves to a lower standard, which is what mexico's immigration policy is. I would rather deport people than waste my money incarcerating them.

Answer 6

Yes, we need to take a very hard line on illegal aliens. Enforce our laws, to the letter.

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

I would be statisfied with that..I'm sure they enforce it with precision when their border is being crossed from the south.

Answer 9

ohhhh, yaaaa. sounds good to me. i like to know why mexico is so hard on immigrants and expect the USA to give so freely.

Answer 10

its a start but someone has to enforce them! they dont want to enforce the laws we have now because they are so corrupt themselves!
