HERE’S HOW MEXICO TREATS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
By Matt Palumbo
For those who think America’s immigration laws or treatment of illegal immigrants is uniquely awful, consider how the nation that sends us the most illegal immigrants treats people coming into their country:
• Mexico Rejects More Asylum Requests than the U.S. - The U.S. rejected 61.8% of asylum cases in 2017. Mexico rejected nearly 90% (and the figures are similarly high for other Latin American countries, such as El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala).
• Mexico Regulates Immigration Based on Race - Article 37 of Mexico’s “General Law of Population” says that foreigners may be denied entry into Mexico if they disrupt the “domestic demographic equilibrium.”
• Mexico Regulates Immigration Based on Income - Article 37 also states that immigrants can be removed if they’re determined to be detrimental to “economic or national interests.”
• Mexico Deports More Illegal Immigrants from Central America than the United States - Even CNN had to acknowledge that: “Mexico in 2015 apprehended tens of thousands more Central Americans in its country than the US did at its border, and in 2015 and 2016 it deported roughly twice as many Central Americans as the US did.
• Mexico Detains More Unaccompanied Minors than the United States - From January 2015 to July 2016, 39,751 unaccompanied minors were put in the custody of Mexican authorities.
• Mexico Routinely Deports People Without Regard for their Safety - A report this year from Amnesty International concluded that “Mexican migration authorities are routinely turning back thousands of people from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala to their countries without considering the risk to their life and security upon return, in many cases violating international and domestic law by doing so.”
• Mexico Stations Migration Agents, Local and Federal Police, and Soldiers and Marines Near its Southern Border - In 2014, Mexico began its Plan Frontera Sur (Southern Border Plan), a migration security plan in Chiapas state. With roving checkpoints and raids, Mexican migration agents, police, and the military have formed a formidable deportation force. The Obama administration committed at least $100 million toward the plan.
