The Mexican Solution...

An interesting post from Human Events (via Cigars...Donuts.. and Coffee) on what we really need from Mexico.
Their stringent immigration laws.
They're all good(well almost), but my favorite section...


* Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." (Article 32)

* Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents. (Article 34)

* Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." (Article 37)

* The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest." (Article 38)


Can you imagine the absolute howls if the United States based its immigration policy on principles like these.
Especially from the Mexican government.

And look how they treat legal immigrants who do not belong to the "Raza"
"Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."
"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."
