Report: Mexico may start charging Americans who cross the border


Posted: Nov 21, 2014

Mexico is reportedly testing out a pilot program that would require foreigners who enter Mexico for more than seven days or who are involved in paid work there to pay a fee of 306 pesos, or about 28 American dollars.

As of now, the fee only applies to pedestrians who cross into Mexico through the ports of entry in Otay, San Ysidro/El Chaparral, or Puerta Mexico Este. Vehicles are not yet included.

"Foreigners who enter Mexico have the obligation to register; if they will be in national territory for more than seven days, they have to pay the right of non-residents," said Rudolfo Figueroa, a representative of Mexico's National Immigration Institute.

 

This is SO absurd that I cannot even laugh at it.  Foreigners are "obligated" to register?  Mexico sure has strict immigration laws which they enforce, don't they?

Maybe we should follow Mexican laws in the United States since our Constitution obviously means nothing anymore.

I'd sooner pattern our responses like Israel does when it comes to violence, etc. against its nation.

I mean they enforce and fight whatever forces they are to keep surviving.

In our country, people seem to feel it is okay to let any people from any country come here and take over or commit horrible crimes, terrorism called by other names, etc.

When do we wake up and realize Israel has it right.

I'd rather pattern our country after Scandinavia. - They seem to have gotten things right.

I have not been particularly fond of Mexico for a long time - the only reason I vacationed there was because the people who work in the resorts deserve the tourism industry - but really - we give them enough - now they want more? There are a lot of places to go south in winter - Mexico might just want to treat the tourists better.....

There's even a warning to Americans to - stay away from Acapulco.

Speaking from experience, Mexico is a very corrupt and lawless country. Now, their people want to come here and the first order of business is lawlessness by ignoring our legal border. It's not rocket science, people. We have a president who thumbs his nose at the Constitution, thereby giving the impression to everyone else that laws do not matter.

The rest of the world cannot just dump their problems on us. As far as Mexico, the media just flat out lied. ...
