Wall and Slagle cite Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution that specifically authorizes immediate expulsion of any foreigner whose presence the Mexican government deems objectionable.

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 have broken Mexican laws, they are jailed or deported.

Under Mexican law, illegal immigration is a felony. Mexicans who help illegals enter the country are themselves considered criminals. A Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to five years in prison. And no foreigner may engage in political affairs, in any manner.

If a foreigner wishes to reside in Mexico, he or she must have a guaranteed job or be financially independent, and must prove an income from abroad consisting of pensions or investments four hundred times the minimum wage in Mexico City (monthly). This amount represents approximately $1,500 in U.S. dollars per month.

Mexico welcomes only foreigners who are “useful to Mexican society.” Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political affairs of the country. In May of 2002, 18 Americans were expelled for participating in a May Day march. An additional five persons were booted out for taking part in a demonstration.
