    MEXICO'S IMMIGRATION LAWS & ILLEGAL ALIENS

    Recently Mexican President Calderon has been very outspoken, critical on U.S. Immigration law enforcement efforts and supports Amnesty for all illegal aliens from Mexico residing, working in this nation.

    Contrary to popular belief, Mexico has very strict immigration laws which are enforced by every police agency in the country. The Bureau of Immigration can call upon any law enforcement officer to assist in their mission. Citizens from the United States traveling in Mexico without proper documents, work permits or non immigrant visas are subject to arrest as illegal aliens.

    The laws regarding foreign national visitors, immigrants, non-citizens are as clear and concise in Mexico as are our own U.S. laws which are considered unenforceable by many politicians in Washington, D.C.

    * Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion (General Law on Population) in Spanish dated Abril 14 de 2000 Capitulo Quinto --Migracion Seccion 1

    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."

    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 immigr

    How dare these idiots try to push us around. The Arizona law is a less harsher law than the federal law ( the law that Obama and Congress refuse to enforce). This just goes to show everyone here that we cannot forget what's going on right now and to VOTE these Commies out of office in November, 2010 and November, 2012. President Calderon can't take care of Mexico's problems, how can he criticize our laws? And to see Congress jumping to their feet and applauding Calderon after his intrusive speech was appalling. They are all traitors. They should all be in prison. They have no business ruling America. Obama will go down in history as the most hated President. What a bunch of clowns!!!

    Obama has been radically indoctrinated to be a leader for CHANGE to make us a collective; after all GOD and genetics do not create us all equal. Are you a genius or one of the beautiful people? I am not -- just an individual intelligent enough to work and save money as taught by parents and faith in GOD. Obama wants USA citizens to feel his boot on their neck like Dictators or Heads of Countries like Russia, China, North Korea, Thailand and most Middle Eastern, African and South American countries. He bows, salutes and apologizes for our history and helping other country's to be free of dictators, terrorists to promote freedom. Like a true dictator, Obama and staff plan to TAKE enough tax$$ from hard working and creative achievers who don’t suck up easy money through federal, state, and union jobs. HIS CHANGES are anti-USA; the most divisive to political parties and people by untruths to hide real goals and ideals to CONQUER and DICTATE. HOW will he do this? Provide state and federal handout programs to create an addiction or total dependence on the government from birth to death. WAKE UP, SEE THE LIGHT and DON’T LOSE FREEDOM of choice - DON'T step backwards in time to accept Obama's group think, or divisive actions that promote racial, ethnic and religious discrimination theories! English is the core and basic language of USA citizens. All countries have unique core language. Our founding forefathers and foremothers sacrificed their lives in hard working conditions, wars, and strived for freedom to be the best you can be. They wrote the USA Constitution, built law enforcement and military soldiers to ensure the these laws and freedoms would endure against tyranny from within USA and outside governments, including MEXICO.

    How dare this foreigner criticize the domestic affairs of this country !! What is even more appalling is that our "elected" officials actually applaud him during his speech. Why are the American people putting up with this disrespect heaped upon us by guests in our country and the liberals who support them? The President of Mexico should be more concerned with the drug runners that originate from south of the border and not about how our states enforce the laws of this land.
