Getting back to the subject (Mexico's hypocrisy and the Dem. Congress' shameful behavior):

 

Mexico's laws:  (from an article in the San Bernadino Sun)

 

  • Under Mexico's Article 123 of the General Population Act, illegal immigration is an offense punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of up to 5,000 pesos, or about $450. Typically, any crime with a punishment of a year or more is considered a felony.

     

  • Article 118 of the act says foreigners who are deported and then later attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be punished with up to 10 years in prison.

     

  • Under Article 73, local police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities when asked to help enforce the nation's immigration laws.

     

  • As set forth in several articles of the act, immigrants are admitted into Mexico according to their potential to "contribute to the national progress" and must have the income needed to support themselves.

     

  • Article 9 of the constitution says only citizens may assemble to "take part in the political affairs of the country." Under Article 33, non citizens "may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."  (in  other words, no demonstrations, proselytizing or demands by illegals)
  •  

    Authorities apprehended more than 240,000 illegal immigrants in 2005, a significant jump from the 138,000 detained in 2002. Nearly all were deported - more than 235,000 in 2005, figures from the government's National Institute of Migration show.

    For most of the illegal immigrants who cross Mexico's southern border, deportation or other legal penalties are the least of their worries.

    Migrants routinely face rape, robbery and assault. Corrupt police and soldiers are known to abuse them and take their money.

    "Mexico has a deplorable record of human-rights violations on its southern border," Tinker Salas said. "That is well documented."

    Mexico's National Human Rights Commission outlined some of the abuses and the poor condition of migrant-detainment facilities in a report in December.

    Commission President Jose Luis Sobernanes Fernandez said the report highlighted Mexico's imbalance of demanding respect for human rights from the United States while treating migrants in its own country harshly.

    "There is a tendency to criminalize the undocumented migrants owing to the fact that the General Act of Population considers entering the country without proper authorization to be a crime," he said.

    "This increases the vulnerability of the migrant person and makes them susceptible to arbitrary treatment or arbitrary responses on behalf of federal, state and municipal public officials, or exposes them to exactions or mistreatment."

    As a conservative / Republican are you suggesting we adopt the Mexico immigration policy?
