U.N. Thugs Denounce Arizona

Six "experts" from the United Nations Human Rights Council denounced Arizona's new state immigration law. A law that mirrors the United States policies. This band of tyrants, murderers and thugs proclaimed that Arizona is violating international human rights:

"States are required to respect and ensure the human rights of all persons subject to their jurisdiction, without discrimination," they said in the statement. "Additionally, relevant international standards require that detention be used only as an exceptional measure, justified, narrowly tailored and proportional in each individual case, and that it be subject to judicial review."

The thugs recognized that countries have a right to protect their borders, but:

"these actions must be taken in accordance with fundamental principles of non-discrimination and humane treatment." They also maintain that "States are obligated to not only eradicate racial discrimination, but also to promote a social and political environment conducive to respect for ethnic and cultural diversity."

I wonder if they had that much concern for American tourist who were arrested when they accidentally crossed the borders of North Korea and Iran. These poor unfortunates were accused of spying. Where was the U.N. Human Rights Council on that?

I say we look at the immigration provisions of the Mexican Constitution:

•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

Now lets look at Mexico's immigration laws:

•Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." (Article 32)

•Immigration officials must "ensure" that "immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance" and for their dependents. (Article 34)

•Foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets "the equilibrium of the national demographics," when foreigners are deemed detrimental to "economic or national interests," when they do not behave like good citizens in their own country, when they have broken Mexican laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." (Article 37)

•The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest." (Article 38)

Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country:

•Federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with federal immigration authorities upon request, i.e., to assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants. (Article 73)

•A National Population Registry keeps track of "every single individual who comprises the population of the country," and verifies each individual's identity. (Articles 85 and 86)

•A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants (Article 87), and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number (Article 91).

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

•Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

•Foreigners who sign government documents "with a signature that is false or different from that which he normally uses" are subject to fine and imprisonment. (Article 116)

Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported, and/or imprisoned as felons:

•Foreigners who fail to obey a deportation order are to be punished. (Article 117)

•Foreigners who are deported from Mexico and attempt to re-enter the country without authorization can be imprisoned for up to 10 years. (Article 118)

•Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison (Articles 119, 120 and 121). Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in Mexico -- such as working with out a permit -- can also be imprisoned.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. The General Law on Population says,

•"A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine of three hundred to five thousand pesos will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally." (Article 123)

•Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from Mexico instead of being imprisoned. (Article 125)

•Foreigners who "attempt against national sovereignty or security" will be deported. (Article 126)

Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law:

•A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison. (Article 127)

•Shipping and airline companies that bring undocumented foreigners into Mexico will be fined. (Article 132)

Wow, that's rather harsh isn't it? Can you imagine if we implemented those kind of laws here in the United States? The United Nations' Human Rights Council would denounce us. Wouldn't they?
