Mexican Law 101

Nobody really knows how many illegal aliens are in this country.  The government estimates about 15 million, but at best, that’s just a guess.  My question of the day is, “What happens if someone enters Mexico illegally?”

First of all, illegal entry or residence is a felony.  One can be fined, sentenced to prison and/or deported.  Mexican citizens who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under Mexican law, and can be sentenced to five years in prison. 
Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order and can be sentenced to six years in prison.  Those that return after deportation can go to jail for 10 years.

The Mexican constitution denies fundamental property rights to non native citizens.  And, the constitution guarantees that immigrants will never be treated as real citizens.  Immigrants are never allowed to participate in the political life, nor will they be treated equally in the job market.  Are you starting to get the idea about Mexico’s immigration policies?

Here’s one more.  The Mexican constitution provides the right of private individuals to make arrest of illegal aliens and turn them over to police for prosecution.

I am all for legal immigration.  There is much to be gained for all concerned.  Yet, the current administration is obsessed with allowing and giving privilege to illegals flooding into this country, violating our own laws. 

I guess it is to be expected from an administration that is busy confusing everyone about which restroom to use.
