Isn't this a lesson in irony? Listen to what the Mexican Constitution says about immigration. One, immigrants must be useful to Mexican society. Two, they must be able to support themselves and their dependents. Three, every person entering is logged into a registry , their identities verified and they are tracked by authorities. Four, enter without papers, with fake papers or break the law, you will be imprisoned. Fail to obey deportation orders and you will be punished. Re-enter after deportation- prison for up to 10 years. How they must be laughing at us. Even having the current discussion is ludicrous. No papers, no entry. It is a matter of security, economics and common sense. Immigrate legally and we welcome you with open arms. Immigrate illegally, you become a criminal, subject to the penalties of our laws. It is just that simple.
