Does any of this resemble the Arizona law?

LEY GENERAL DE POBLACIÓN
This is the only Mexican immigration law (1999) that I could find. Spanish speakers may find more up to date info.

Google Translation
LAW GENERAL POPULATION

Article 32
" immigration of foreigners, according to their potential to contribute to national progress." No potential welfare immigrants wanted?

Article 34
"The Ministry of the Interior may lay to foreigners who enter the country, conditions it deems appropriate regarding the activities they will pursue, and the location or places of residence." Does that mean "what you can do and where you can live?

Article 37
"VII .- are not physically or mentally healthy in the opinion of the health authority" Anyone making such a law in this country would crucified.

Article 39
"When strangers marry and have children with Mexican-born (in) the country, the Ministry of the Interior may authorize or legal stay in it " MAY? In this country, if you are born here you are a citizen. I believe that you can renounce it on your 21st birthday.

Article 73
"The authorities which by law have federal forces under their command, local or municipales, shall assist the immigration authorities at their request, to enforce the provisions of this Act". As I read this I think that it says all police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities if requested to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants.

Article 85
"The Ministry of Interior is responsible for registration and accreditation identity of all persons residing in the country and nationals residing abroad."
Article 86
"The National Population Registry aims to register every persons in the population, with the information needed to certify and accredit their identity".
Simple enough. Your papers, please. They are not in order, please come with us.

It goes on and on. Lets end on a couple of points.

Article 119
"A penalty of up to six years in prison and a fine of up to five thousand pesos (for an) alien who had obtained permission to legally enter the country, for failure or violation of legal or administrative provisions that conditioned their stay is illegally there." I think that means that if you come into Mexico with a visa and stay or mess up some how you can go to jail.

Article 123
"A penalty of up to two years imprisonment and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos, the foreigner who illegally (enters Mexico)."

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony.

You can be stopped, searched, arrested, imprisoned, and/or tossed out of friendly Mexico.

I think that any Mexican should be allowed into this country as a political refugee. So long as the don't try to make this country like the one that they're fleeing from.
