Subject: I know what yesterday's weird picture is
Bart,
Yeah, shame on us for wanting to enforce our
immigration laws. Like Mexico does:
General Law on Population - Republic of Mexico:
Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress."
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.
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."
The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest."
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 to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants.
A National Population Registry
keeps track of "every single individual who comprises the population of
the country," and verifies each individual's identity.
A national Catalog of Foreigners
tracks foreign tourists and immigrants and assigns each individual with
a unique tracking number.
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.
Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is false or different is subject to fine and imprisonment.
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.
Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years.
Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa
may be sentenced to up to six years in prison . 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 States…
"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."
Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. Foreigners who have contempt against national sovereignty or security" will be deported.
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.
Can't imagine why people are upset... Are we a sovereign nation with the right to protect our borders?
A Bart Fan,
