Maybe the United States should pass a law with these provisions.
As thousands, perhaps millions, of immigrants, and those that support them, demonstrate in the streets, and prepare for a grand-scale boycott of work, businesses and schools on May 1, just how far should the magnanimity of the citizens of the USofA extend ?
All of this activity is directed at expanding the rights of illegal immigrants living in the United States. Mexico?s Constitution and it?s General Population Act, it?s main law addressing immigration, include some of the same things that protestors in the Unites States are attempting to defeat before they become law in the United States.
When much of the Mexican Constitution and Immigration Laws were crafted in 1917, much of it observed laws of the United States as examples, with some noteworthy differences as pertains to non-citizens and illegal immigrants, some of which are very harsh. This was done at the time to primarily stem the flow of foreigners into Mexico, who were coming into Mexico for the sole purpose of purchasing huge tracts of land. Mexico felt it?s stability threatened.
The Mexican Constitution guarantees it?s citizens the right to travel freely throughout Mexico and around the world. As such, Mexico cannot realistically force them to stay within the country - ie, bar them from immigrating.
The United States has laws on the books with respect to illegal immigration, but there is a disconnect between what the laws says and what is practiced.
There is the perception today in the United States that Mexico is supporting the activity on the streets in the United States, activity demanding that the United States liberalize it?s immigration laws. This is seen as Mexico throwing stones within it?s own glass house, because if this same activity were attempted in Mexico, it would be breaking Mexican law.
With the bleak number of jobs or services available within Mexico, that country is hard pressed to take an active role in curtailing the ?wet back? immigration into the United States.
But, just how far should the magnanimity of the citizens of the United States be expected to extend ?
