This will make it harder for U.S. and Canadian ex-pats to work in Mexico and supplement their retirement incomes who do not have work permits and it's meant to stop illegals from entering Mexico's Southern border to cross to the U.S.
Translated with Google Translates which is not always great so if you read Spanish the originals are better:
This provision does not ask anything SB1070, passed in April in Arizona, United States, which also punishes those who give jobs to illegal immigrants and which won the outright rejection of the presidents of Mexico and the United States, Barack Obama and Felipe Calderón.
Arizona law criminalizes undocumented immigrants and empower police to make arrests of foreigners to ensure that your stay in the United States is legal.
The Migration Act will be discussed now provides, in Article 100, "the assurance of aliens in immigration detention centers or in places authorized to do, while their immigration status is determined in national territory." What is the difference?
In Article 26, the Migration Act empowers the Federal Police to "conduct immigration checks at places other than those for international traffic in persons, in coordination with the Institute."
This means that the PF may check the immigration status of thousands of foreigners without papers, they go every day to the country's southern border in search of American dream.
The former governor of Zacatecas criticized the powers granted to the Federal Police (PF), "to become the U.S. extraterritorial police and detain migrants pass through Mexico" due to that nation.
He said that the new law, the PF may conduct raids and operations against migrants in national territory, similar to those carried out in Arizona, the United States against Mexicans.
For his part, President of the Commission on Population and Development, Humberto Andrade, defended the opinion, stating that the immigration problem "has overtaken us and the current regulatory framework is not at its height."
In addition, make verification visits and immigration checks at places other than those for the international movement of people, and assist, when requested, in the protection of the facilities of the INM and the movement of foreigners.
This legislation establishes the rights of migrants passing through Mexico, regardless of their immigration status, education, emergency medical service to preserve his life, civil registration and the administration of justice.
I'm perplexed and disappointed. The article clearly states the senate is discussing adopting an anti immigrant law similar to SB 1070.
These statements really caught my eye.
Quote:
La Ley de Migración que hoy será discutida contempla, en su artículo 100, “el aseguramiento de los extranjeros en estaciones migratorias o en lugares habilitados para ello, en tanto se determina su situación migratoria en territorio nacional”. ¿Cuál es la diferencia?
Quote:
Además, otorga facultades a la Policía Federal para detener (el texto de la iniciativa dice “asegurar”) a los extranjeros que no puedan comprobar su situación migratoria y a realizar “revisiones migratorias”.
There is no difference between 1070 and this one. Both allow for stereotyping before authorities can stop individuals and ask for proper documentation.
Then on this article, it states that Mexico laments that Arizona will consider another anti immigrant bill.
One reason for the new legislation is to stop immigrants from Central America crossing through Mexico to the U.S.
Many fear the legislation will be used to harass indigenous Mexican citizens:
Quote:
This law would give the federal cops new excuses for hassling their own citizens who happen to be indigenous. And if the ones being hassled aren't carrying proper documentation (something that is NOT required by law and many may not even possess) that proves their Mexican citizenship, then they will definitely have something to fear.
Mexico City – At least 11,333 migrants, the majority of them from Central America, were kidnapped in Mexico between April and September 2010, the National Human Rights Commission, or CNDH, said.
"Government efforts to reduce the rate of kidnappings against the migrant population have not been sufficient," CNDH president Raul Plascencia said during the presentation Tuesday of the "Special Report on the Kidnapping of Migrants in Mexico."
Some 44.3 percent of the victims were Hondurans, followed by Salvadorans (16.2 percent), Guatemalans (11.2 percent), Mexicans (10.6 percent), Cubans (5 percent), Nicaraguans (4.4 percent), Colombians (1.5 percent) and Ecuadorians (0.50 percent), the CNDH, Mexico's equivalent of an ombudsman's office, said.
"Of the total testimony gathered, some 15.7 percent deals with the experiences of migrant women," Plascencia said.
The CNDH documented 214 kidnapping cases, many of them mass abductions, and found that some migrants were employed by criminals and corrupt officials to "infiltrate" groups of migrants.
Migrants, who are seeking a better life in the United States, are also the victims of "extortion, discrimination, exploitation, (and) physical and sexual abuse," the CNDH chief said.
The largest number of incidents documented during the April-September 2010 period occurred in the eastern state of Veracruz, the southeastern state of Tabasco, the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, a state in central Mexico, the northern third of the country and the southern state of Chiapas, which is on the border with Guatemala, the CNDH said.
At contrary this law is beneficial for illegal immigrants in mexico:
- includes raise into law the National Migration Institute.
- it proposes setting up a Centre for Assessment and Reliability Control.
# Procedure to care for vulnerable people in human rights. # be guaranteed fundamental rights (educational, health, administration and enforcement of justice, family unity and recognition of legal personality) regardless of immigration status of the individual.
# Set the faculty of the Department of the Interior to develop and direct the country's immigration policy.
# Set the requirements to be submitted by foreign nationals to enter the country. # Includes the possibility that foreigners settled in the country without proper documentation, toregularize their immigration status.

Yeah, I did like that part. It will be interesting to see how it is all played out. I would like to see a uniform set of rules and regulations and an emphasis on human rights or "fundamental rights".
