HR5523 Seeks to align US immigration laws with Mexico's!
H.R.5523 , a recently introduced bill in the U.S. Congress attempts to make U.S. immigration laws more like Mexico's highly "U.S. citizen" discriminitory immigration policies, commonly referred to as Mexico's General Population Act.
The more you read, the better it gets! What's good for the gringo, is good for the Mexican, one could say. Interesting concept and a great reference, although we haven't heard much about the idea. But then the media isn't too hip on telling us what a bigotted country Mexico really is.
There is a plentiful amount of social engineering included in the wording of the bill indicated in the summary below, to cause concern, but all in all points out the unbalanced way Mexico expects US to accomodate their citizens.
