“Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship”
The entire playing field is completely unbalanced.
In Mexico they see this as completely justified because they are taught the mythology of the evil gringo oil companies who came to steal “their” property until Cardenas nationalized their property. They also think that if they were to allow foreign ownership, they would lose all their land because the gringos would buy all of theirs that was worth anything. They probably have a point with that one.
But it’s more of the same crap: what’s our is ours, what’s yours is negotiable. Reciprocity is the smallest of things we should demand.
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen entering illegally exempting those who do so legally and meet US citizenship requirements. All subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .
Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal. Prohibiting any illegal entrant employment, voting, and land ownership privileges fully enforced ..
In other words Sneak into this country before expulsion no job no voting no landowning ..
