Respectfully, that is nonsense. We deport a million people a year, while who knows how many hundreds Mexico deports to Guatemala. The issue I raised was Richard-so-and-so's contention that it ought to be a felony to cross the border without a visa, since by golly it is supposedly in Mexico (which I doubt).

It most definitely is law in Mexico --- if you go there you must have a passport of a tourist card which allows you to stay up to 6 months. Americans are deported from Mexico all the time --- and if you are deported, you are banned from reentering that country for a minimum of 5 years.

Name one country that has no immigration laws of any kind.

I do not know if Mex. treats all illegal entry as a felony, I am pretty sure they do in some cases. With their record of graft and shake downs it might be hard to tell.
My point applies to more countries than just Mex., I recall that illicit entry into some will get you several years at hard labor.

Anyone know what China does with illegal "immigrants"?

I do know from talking with many people who visit Mex. frequently, or who originated there and now have U.S. citizenship, that even if the Mex. authorities do not charge you with a felony they WILL allow other inmates and guards to abuse you in a variety of ways.
Then they will bill your family for your keep, only releasing you after receipt of a substantial ransom, er ah, I mean bail.
You might also be released after a prisoner exchange, but that can take years.
