I'm curious as to how Mexico deals with immigration? Is Vicente Fox as generous in regards to this in his country?

Find a Guatemalan illegal alien and ask him. Mexico likes to shot what comes across their southern border.

Well, from what I've read, US Citizens cannot become Mexican citizens. Non-Mexican's cannot own property....they can lease the land and build on it, but they can never own it. If the lease is ever revoked or runs out, you lose everything. Work permits in Mexico are very strict and limited.

Seems they have the policy that we don't. I do believe it is very hypocritical of them to cry about how we handle illegals when they do much worse.

In Mexico, it has been that way for years. Only in hospitals are Mexico's laws more lenient about checking immigration documents.
To see if the requirements are being enforced, a Republic reporter (a U.S. citizen with legal residency in Mexico), went to six public agencies and two schools in Mexico City to inquire about services and registering to vote.
Almost every official asked to see proof of Mexican citizenship or an FM3 visa, the document that allows a person to live in Mexico. Often, it was the first question asked.
"Every agency has its own regulations, but generally, that's the rule. To receive these government services, you have to prove you are in the country legally," said Victoria Hernández, a spokeswoman for the Mexican Secretariat of Government, which oversees immigration.
Those same requirements have set off a furious debate in Arizona.
Opponents of Proposition 200, which will be on the Nov. 2 ballot, say it will turn state employees into immigration agents, build a culture of fear in government offices and create a public health risk by discouraging undocumented immigrants from seeking medical care.
Supporters say the measure will protect the election process and cut expenses by keeping undocumented immigrants from seeking benefits.
