Maybe he should read Mexico’s own immigration laws and learn something about how to protect your country

From website listing the laws http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/lillpop022707.htm
At a time when the Supreme Court and many politicians seek to bring American law in line with foreign legal norms, it’s noteworthy that nobody has argued that the U.S. look at how Mexico deals with immigration and what it might teach us about how best to solve our illegal immigration problem. Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:

•in the country legally;

•have the means to sustain themselves economically;

•not destined to be burdens on society;

•of economic and social benefit to society;

•of good character and have no criminal records; and

•contributors to the general well-being of the nation.

The law also ensures that:

•immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;

•foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;

•foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics;

•foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;

•foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;

•those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

Who could disagree with such a law? It makes perfect sense. The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens — and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Poblacion, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.
