Immigration

Something for all of us to think about – immigration:

In Arizona, Texas, and other states along the United States of America’s southern border, there is an ongoing dispute about illegal aliens – illegal (against a law), alien (a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship) (distinguished from , a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection).

Reglamento de la Ley General de Poblacion, the General Law on Population enacted in Mexico, mandates that their federal, local and municipal police cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony.

Anyone found guilty of attempting illegal immigration in Mexico can be punished by up to two years in prison.

Immigrants who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter can be imprisoned for 10 years.

Visa violators can be sentenced to six-year terms.

Mexicans who help illegal immigrants are considered criminals.

The law also says Mexico can deport foreigners who are deemed detrimental to “economic or national interests,” who violate Mexican law, who are not physically or mentally healthy or who lack the necessary funds for their sustenance and for their dependents.

Mexico’s immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor.

Mexico annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does.

Luckily, each and every country seems to want to protect their own citizens…that is mainly what government is about…or should be.

As our Constitution states:  We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

No matter which country we decide to live in, whether in retirement, or anytime of our lives, the laws of the land should be adhered to.  Without respecting and upholding them, there could be anarchy.

Hope you find this immigration article thought provoking,  Barbie

Hey Barb,

I have been reading your nice articles for a few years now, dreaming of taking the plunge to Mexico. I already live in the Houston area and am surrounded by Spanish speaking people. Most are not here legally, but seem to be good hard working people. Why are they leaving there in these numbers? I am afraid to come there because of the drug thugs I see on TV. I have many nice things that may make me a Target? Thanks, Darren Gray MSgt USMC Retired

Barbie Reply:

I think you already have a good hold on the problems in Mexico. You must not flaunt your wealth…that is dumb anyplace. That would most definately make you a target – why – at this time of life, would you even want to “show-off” what you were fortunate enough to be given? Just one of your “Perks” the base’s stores, will not be available in Mexico.
