How Mexico Treats Illegal Immigrants

[SAHRAB]

The Center for Security Policy (Linky) has published an article, by J. Michael Waller, on how Mexico treats "undocumented" residents

...(A)ccording to an official translation published by the Organization of American States, the Mexican constitution includes the following restrictions:

* Pursuant to Article 33, "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country." This ban applies, among other things, to participation in demonstrations and the expression of opinions in public about domestic politics like those much in evidence in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere in recent days.

* Equal employment rights are denied to immigrants, even legal ones. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable."

* Jobs for which Mexican citizenship is considered "indispensable" include, pursuant to Article 32, bans on foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports.

* Article 55 denies immigrants the right to become federal lawmakers. A Mexican congressman or senator must be "a Mexican citizen by birth." Article 91 further stipulates that immigrants may never aspire to become cabinet officers as they are required to be Mexican by birth. Article 95 says the same about Supreme Court justices.

In accordance with Article 130, immigrants - even legal ones - may not become members of the clergy, either.

* Foreigners, to say nothing of illegal immigrants, are denied fundamental property rights. For example, Article 27 states, "Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters."

* Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country." What is more, private individuals are authorized to make citizen's arrests. Article 16 states, "In cases of flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." In other words, Mexico grants its citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution. Imagine the Minutemen exercising such a right!

* The Mexican constitution states that foreigners - not just illegal immigrants - may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."

This is why we're a better country than they are.

But I find it amusing that their immigration laws are so restrictive, yet they want us to relax ours even more than they already are.

I don't really care about the illegals coming here and working. I've worked with them and they are usually great people. I look at it as a national security issue and think there should be a fence along the Canadian border too.

 

[Larry Gude]

That's just great...

...so the cost of a decent toilet is gonna soar...

 

[Bustem' Down]

Sorry Larry

...so the cost of a decent toilet is gonna soar...

That one went over my head.

 

[Larry Gude]

Well...

That one went over my head.

...you see, some odd years ago, people, congresspeople, who actually care about our planet decided that we use too much water when we use the toilet. So, a 1.6 liter standard was deemed appropriate for all, a federal, mandatory building code.

All new shitters MUST conform.

Canada, planet raping bastards that they are, have no such rule, so, ugly Americans who think THEY should only have to flush once have been 'importing' toilets from the Great Wipe North. Err...white, that is.

Anyway, evil remodelers would cross the border, go shopping for a pooper of their liking and sneak it back across the border to install it and go about the systematic flushing of our limited and precious natural resources.

Quite naturally, some even more evil capitalists decided that if they could sneak a bunch of them across, why, they could traffic, profitably, in verboten bottom thrones.

So, if there is a wall, it's gonna be harder to sneak hi capacity turd catchers into the states, stashed in Moose heads and other camouflage.

Of course, market forces will prevail BUT...

...at a price.

We scavenged old toilets for our house. I didn't think we were saving much water by flushing twice.

Oh, thank you. That was very informative. I never really paid attention to toilets except to aim.

 

[SamSpade]

Exactly. We do the same thing. Incredibly stupid legislation.

 

[Larry Gude]

Well...

Oh, thank you. That was very informative. I never really paid attention to toilets except to aim.

...you welcome. We aim to please.

OK, now, don't get pizzed off.

Have a seat and relax.

Get ready for a moving experience.

That's odd... Vrai tells me theyr'e all drug dealers and criminals bent on destroying the American way of life.

Liar. Vrai never said, "All". Bru, have you gone off the deep end or your meds ... or both?

 

[vraiblonde]

This surprises me, Bru - really. I never thought of you as the type that would take a factual statement and blow it out of proportion until it's not only untrue, but completely different than what was actually said.

 

[Midnightrider]

You have this romanticized picture of illegal immigrants as these turn-of-the-century Ellis Island types - tired, poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free. When in fact, many of these illegals are drug runners, gang members and criminals avoiding punishment and not a particular boon to society.

really not all that different from what you did say....


And wouldn't it be a lot like a black person saying "white people shouldn't have positions of power because many of them run companies into the ground, steal 401K's and retierments from the working class, and embezzle countless millions of dollars" ?

Its just as true, and just as slanted

There is a significant difference between the word "many" and the word "all". If you cannot appreciate that difference, then you have perception problems.

 

[2ndAmendment]

Wow, Vrai. Should I apply for position of trunk monkey #2? Is it open? Does it pay well? Do I have to compete with illegals?

 

[Midnightrider]

yeah, yeah, yeah

 

[2ndAmendment]

yeah, yeah, yeah

Didn't figure you'd get it. Aren't you one that see racism everywhere? I think I remember reading that. Maybe it was about someone else. If it was indeed you that was the subject of that discussion, I think that would make you a bigot.

wow, what a thoroughly enlightened post


I get that you have trouble comprehending abstract thought, and its no surprise that you missed the point and focused on one word.


And while i may have been accused of seeing racism everywhere, this is in no way a true reflection of me IRL.

But if you want to poke me some more with your stick do your dandiest
