Entering Mexico Illegally Is a Felony. Ain't It Funny?

Entering Mexico illegally is a felony, punishable with two years in prison. All police and military are authorized to check the status of suspected foreigners. Mexican citizens have the power of citizens' arrest to detain illegal aliens.

I think it is HILARIOUS that the Mexican President is complaining about the new Arizona law. Shouldn't the U.S. and Mexico treat aliens entering illegally the same?

    The first offense is deportation back to your home country. The second offense carries the 2 year prison bid.

    The U.S. and many other countries have similar laws

    Well, there are so many people fleeing to Mexico that they have to be a bit harsh.

    Just Kidding.

    I once heard that the Mexican Government gave money to Illegals.

    Illegals=Jobs in America=Money sent back to Mexico=More Taxes!

    Mexico has tough immigration laws b/c most illegals are drug runners associated with violent gangs in the country.

    The only people who want to enter Mexico illegally are drug runners from the US.

    It's also illegal here, genius.

    Sure. The reason that Mexico's corrupt President is pissed off is because with AZ's new law less money will be funneled back into his **** hole of a country. **** him.

    The clue is in the word "illegal".

    Strangely enough, in any country, illegal entry is against the law.

    So what?

    Being in america 'illegally' is not a crime - you cant get prosecuted. It is a violation of administrative regulation, not a crime. A violation of administrative regulation cannot be a basis for police to stop individuals.

    Great post, too bad you can't lead a liberal to truth or reason.
