Mexico's laws on illegal immigrants:
• Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset "the equilibrium of the national demographics.
• If outsiders do not enhance the country's "economic or national interests" or are "not found to be physically or mentally healthy," they are not welcome.
• Illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishable by two years' imprisonment. Illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by 10 years' imprisonment. (My personal favorite)
• Law enforcement officials at all levels -- by national mandate -- must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations.
• A National Population Registry tracks and verifies the identity of every member of the population, who must carry a citizens' identity card. Visitors who do not possess proper documents and identification are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.
Funny how Mexico criticizes the "new" Arizona law, when their own laws regarding immigration are clearly more stringent and use racial and ethnic profiling?
So just to be clear, Mexico doesn't allow others into it's country without proper documents, but they expect the United States to welcome their people with open arms.
