Criminalizing immigration? Ask Mexico | Washington Examiner - 0 views
-
Democrats should hold their applause and consider Mexico's immigration policies, codified in that country's General Law on Population adopted in 2000. Under Mexican immigration law, illegal immigrants are sentenced to up to two years in prison for a first violation and up to 10 years for a second violation. Foreigners in Mexico who violate their visas can be jailed for six years. Mexican law also empowers the government to deport any foreigner whose presence authorities deem to be harmful to Mexico's "economic or national interests, or who is not "physically or mentally healthy," or who lack the "necessary funds for their sustenance" for them and their dependents. We wonder if the sanctimonious Mr. Calderon would consider that "criminalizing immigration."
