In Mexico LEGAL immigrants may not participate in any Government activities.
In Mexico LEGAL immigrants may not protest.
In Mexico LEGAL immigrants must be removed from their job if a Mexican wants the job.
In Mexico LEGAL immigrants may be deported with no due process, without warning, and they forfeit their property.
In Mexico those trying to enter the country illegally are shot like turkeys at a turkey shoot.
I'm still trying to figure out why our Democrat and Republican leaders treat those who have entered the United States of America illegally so much better than they do citizens of the United States of America as we saw Janet Reno treat them.
Where can I find more about how Mexico treat their own illegals in their own country? I want to cite the source whenever open borders people think why USA should open its border wide for Mexico.
It might have something to do with the politically correct climate we live in today. People and politicans might be afraid to be labeled as racist or xenophoboic. So they rather avoid controversy at any cost.
I think business/rich corporation also have corrupted our politicans because they want to pay slave wages in order to make as much $$$ as they can. They live behind mansion and gated community, they send their kids to private schools, they don't have to live near gang infested neighborhood, they don't live near border area where drug runners and coyotes and Mexican army terrorize people with machine guns. Politicans just don't care about average citizen, they don't live your life like you do.[/quote]
Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't have time to "live" in these forums. Now, if I were in prison I would have all day long to post!
As for how they treat illegals in their country you are on your own! A search of the web will turn up how they enforce illegal entry and Fox says they will be shot. He has the military and police protecting their southern and, to a lesser extent, the northern border. If an illegal is caught inside their country I'm not sure we would hear about their treatment. Perhaps they would be deported, perhaps executed, perhaps commited to an insane asylum for wanting to live in a country where millions upon millions of the citizens want to leave.
What I was talking about is how they treat LEGAL not Illegal immigrants. Basically, legal immigrants in Mexico have far fewer rights than illegal immigrants and even terrorists that act against the United States of America in the United States of America.
The original text (Spanish)
The present Constitution (Spanish)
The present Constitution (English)
Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:
It is interesting that Article 30 states immigrant men may not become naturalized by marrying a Mexican woman. FYI, there is no need to read Article 30 except to understand it when reading Article 33
Article 30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:
Mexicans by birth are:
*Those born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of their parents:
*Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;
*Those born on Mexican vessels or airships, either war or merchant vessels.
Mexicans by naturalization are:
*Foreigners who obtain letters of naturalization from the Secretariat of Foreign Relations;
*A foreign woman who marries a Mexican man and has or establishes her domicile within the national territory.
Article 32. (14)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. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces.
Article 33. Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but 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.
Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.
Chapter 1, Title 1 is very long some excerpts may be found at the bottom of this post.
Chapter 1, Title 1
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. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country.
Basically, if you are a legal immigrant and are willing to consider yourself a naturalized citizen and if the Government approves it then you may aquire the use of land, land ownership, and/or mineral rights. However, at the discretion of the Government without due course prior warning may have to forfeit said acquisition.
The Constitution repeatedly states that Freedom of Religion exists but may not be mentioned in schools. However, note this entry.
Places of public worship are the property of the Nation, as represented by the Federal Government, which shall determine which of them may continue to be devoted to their present purposes.
Want to help those in need. (Luckily, no one in Mexico needs anything since as many here will attest socialist nations take care of the needy) (So, why does it seem that only Democratic nations, actually take care of the needy and the Democratic Republic nation helps take care of the needy around the world?)
Public or private charitable institutions for the rendering of assistance to the needy, for scientific research, the diffusion of knowledge, mutual aid to members, or for any other lawful purpose, may not acquire more real property than actually needed for their purpose and immediately and directly devoted thereto; but they may acquire, hold, or administer mortgages on real property provided the term thereof does not exceed ten years. Under no circumstances may institutions of this kind be under the patronage, direction, administration, charge, or supervision of religious orders or institutions, or of ministers of any religious sect or of their followers, even though the former or the latter may not be in active service.
Another interesting entry.
Article 10. The inhabitants of the United Mexican States are entitled to have arms of any kind in their possession for their protection and legitimate defense, except such as are expressly forbidden by law, or which the nation may reserve for the exclusive use of the army, navy, or national guard; but they may not carry arms within inhabited places without complying with police regulations.
Even in Mexico the individuals may keep and bear arms. Some carry laws do exist and I don't know how strict those laws are.
Even more interesting their Constitution states that each citizen MUST receive civic and military instruction on how to handle those weapons. Wow, can you imagine the liberal leaders if an a President of the United States of America tried to have all citizens learn to handle fire arms! ROFL
To be present on the days and hours designated by the Ayuntamiento of the place in which they reside, to receive civic and military instruction which will equip them for the exercise of their rights as citizens, give them skill in the handling of arms, and acquaint them with military discipline.
