How do they treat illegal immigrants in Mexico?

Enter Mexico illegally and you're treated as a felon. If you're caught by the Federal Police, you'll be fortunate if you're only deported immediately. The unfortunate are robbed, abused, raped, or even murdered by corrupt police officers

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."

Maybe with luck they will live there and not get attacked by the Mexican policemen that will stop you for anything since they smell that you are American and invent any story to detain them and ask you for money in order for you to get released, or better off

they will steal your money, your jewelry, your vehicle and then kill you and you will never return to the United States, These type of things happen on a daily basis, they are very corrupted, I have lived throughout this experience and heard from my friends what terrible things they have done to them, I regret to say that I am Hispanic born American citizen, but Mexico is a beautiful place to visit or live, but you have to know people there in order to make a decision to live there with good luck, If you a a us citizen you must require a permit, you can buy property if you sign up and are Hispanic and a us citizen by signing up as a Mexican citizen

with your double naturalization, or stay 6 months there and six months here in the us , and as for your child he/she will be a Mexican citizen, if you want to bring him to the united states you need to apply for a US resident card.

Well, you dont get it do you?

If you are american in Mexico, they will threat you like a king

you can also be a more suitable target for robbers

but if you are from any other country SOUTH from mexico

sorry but you will be and BIG trouble.

I'm not sure. But I know in some parts in the middle of nowhere people have never even seen white people. I have a friend that went to visit and people were following her around. I know Mexico City is a bad area. They will rob you , cut off your fingers for rings and kill you. I think when Americans speak bad of Mexicans it gets around and people in Mexico have some hatred toward us.

Well I been to Mexico on so many occasions and I got the up most respect from everyone I met but when I started home , it was our boarder control that give me the most problems my papers were in order but I got treated like a criminal, in which i am not. And you know I just wonder if these people are here to protect our boarder or just to torment certain people I SAY god made us all lets live in peace. bless everyone.

Mexico is oftentimes happening for no longer something, if no longer hypocrisy, corruption and hysteria. although, we ought to continually by no potential seem to a 0.33 international banana republic for coaching on the thank you to habit our very own affairs. unlawful immigrants interior u . s . of america should not be taken care of as criminals, except they're in actuality criminals. maximum persons of those absolutely everyone seems to be right here attempting to greater efficient their lives and the lives of their families. maximum persons might do the comparable factor of their undertaking. this would not propose they must be allowed to stay or given an consumer-friendly path to citizenship, previous to others who're attempting to get right here with the help of criminal potential. The illegals could desire to be despatched homestead. of path it is impossible to around up 12 million human beings and deliver them homestead. we could desire to shield our borders, enforce our very own rules against hiring illegals and get rid of the loose reward given to them. as quickly as the roles and the freebies go away, they'll start up leaving on their own.

Mexico is VERY intolerant of those who enter their country illegally. The only problem is they are also very TOLERANT of those who sneak into other's countries.

I've been there. You get checked out everywhere you go so if you did decide to stay it wouldn't be long before someone came to pick you up.Everytime you go to a different town or hit a border patrol they ask you for your papers.I wouldn't stay there anyway.

simple,Mexico actually enforce their immigration laws we don't
