Cross-cultural studies: Non-citizens in Mexico

Open borders for thee but not for me.

Michelle Malkin:

– The Mexican government will bar foreigners if they upset “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” How’s that for racial and ethnic profiling?

– If outsiders do not enhance the country’s “economic or national interests” or are “not found to be physically or mentally healthy,” they are not welcome. Neither are those who show “contempt against national sovereignty or security.” They must not be economic burdens on society and must have clean criminal histories. Those seeking to obtain Mexican citizenship must show a birth certificate, provide a bank statement proving economic independence, pass an exam and prove they can provide their own health care
.


Ace of Spades has some interesting observations.

UPDATE: Jammie Wearing Fool shows why Arizona should ignore the posturing of the Mexican government:
