    This may have been a repost, but I've been on vacation and found this interesting. So, a recent immigration law states the following:

    • Foreigners will be admitted into the country "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress."

    • 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.

    • 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 the country's laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy."

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

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

    • A national Catalog of Foreigners tracks foreign tourists and immigrants, and assigns each individual with a unique tracking number

    • Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned.

    • 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.

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

    • Foreigners who violate the terms of their visa may be sentenced to up to six years in prison. Foreigners who misrepresent the terms of their visa while in the country -- such as working with out a permit -- can also be imprisoned.

    • "A penalty of up to two years in prison and a fine will be imposed on the foreigner who enters the country illegally."

    • Foreigners with legal immigration problems may be deported from the country instead of being imprisoned.

    • A national 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.
      Now guess which country this is from. Just some interesting points from it:

    • Foreigners are admitted based on what they can contribute to society.

    • Immigrants have to be able to support themselv

            There's a big difference between policy and enforcement. I went to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico for work and was going to ask the border guard how to get ot where I was going. The border guard was a traffic light that was green. Needless to say, I had a tough time finding it. Luckily this was a couple years before the city turned into a war zone.

                The Mexicans have no reason to guard our border. Unless they tax stuff going from there to here.

                  I don't know how it's changed recently, but I read an article a few years ago comparing immigration into the US and Canada. The immigration quota of the US 90% allotted to "family reunification". So if we wanted Cousin Moe, we end up taking 9 of his worthless relatives. Canada only allots 50% for family reunification. The other half goes to people with desirable skills and those with money, you have $500,000 in cash, welcome to Canada. ;)

                  The wonderful thing about the Darwin Awards is that everyone wins, especially the members of the audience.
