Mexico Demands USA Open Borders … Or We’re Racists

 

Mexico’s Foreign Minister Claudia Ruiz Massieu said in a Monday speech to the leftist Migration Policy Institute, with the most unmitigated gall, that the US is experiencing an influx of all sorts of migrants but we are struggling “to understand the diversity complexity that comes with each flow of newcomers. You will immediately be thinking of Europe but the Americans experiencing this reality for decades now. This condition unfortunately has been met with an irresponsible and dangerous narrative of xenophobia and exclusion that wrongly portrays immigrants as security concerns.”

oped: Claudia Ruiz Massieu < loca en la cabeza...hello maybe we should adopt Mexico's immigration laws eh? Talk about racism just look in the mirror Minister Massieu...Mexico's Immigration Laws : 

 

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 as they press for our Congress to adopt the McCain-Kennedy immigration reform bill. That’s too bad, because 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.
At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve

our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are: 

• in the country legally;

• have the means to sustain themselves economically; bank statement required

• not destined to be burdens on society;

• of economic and social benefit to society;

• of good character and have no criminal records of any kind 

• contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

The law also ensures that:

• immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;

• foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;

• foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;

• foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned, then deported; 
• 
  
• foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned then deported;

• those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.
• the mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset the equilibrium of the national demographics.
• if outsiders do not enhance the country’s economy, or national interest, or are not found to be physically or mentally healthy, they are not welcome, neither are those who show contempt against national sovereignty or security; they must not be economic burdens to society, and have clean criminal history; those seeking to obtain mexican citizenship or legal status, must show birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass a medical exam, and prove they can provide their own health care.
• illegal entry into the country is equivalent to a felony punishableby two years in prison, document fraud is subject to a fine and imprisonment, so is alien marriage fraud; evading deportation is a serious crime; illegal re-entry after deportation is punishable by ten years imprisonment; foreigners may, and will be kicked out of the country without due process and the endless bites at any litigation.  
• law enforcement at all levels, by national mandate, must cooperate to enforce immigration laws, including illegal alien arrests and deportations; the mexican military is also empowered and required to assist in immigration enforcement operations, to act at their discrecion. native-born mexicans are equally empowered to make citizens arrests of illegal aliens, and turn them in to authorities. 
• 
  
• foreigners must carry the citizens identity card, those who do not possess all the proper documents and identification will be subject to arrest as illegal aliens.  

Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens — and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, legal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.
It is an interesting law — and one that should cause us all to ask, Why is our great southern neighbor pushing us to water down our own immigration laws and policies, when its own immigration restrictions are the toughest on the continent? If a felony is a
crime punishable by more than one year in prison, then Mexican law makes it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.

We looked at the immigration provisions of the Mexican constitution. [1] Now let’s look at Mexico’s main immigration law.
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:

• Foreigners are admitted into Mexico “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 Mexican 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) 
• 
  

Mexican 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 from Mexico 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 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) 
    • 
      
    All of the above runs contrary to what Mexican leaders are demanding of the United States. The stark contrast between Mexico’s immigration practices versus its American immigration preachings is telling. It gives a clear picture of the Mexican government’s agenda: to have a one-way immigration relationship with the United States
