Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto
Enrique Peña Nieto, the president of Mexico, has lectured the United States over our immigration laws for years. He has praised California for their lax laws regarding illegals, while he attacked Texas for daring to protect their border. He has decried those in America against the illegal invasion of our southern border. His actions and vocal opposition to American sovereignty and rule of law makes the program implemented by his country even more hypocritical and incredulous.
The National Immigration Institute (INAMI) in Mexico implemented a program that would require any visitor who was in Mexico for 7 days or longer, or who was going for paid work, to pay a fee of nearly $30. This applies to those crossing by foot, not yet applicable to car, through port of entries in Otay, San Ysidro/El Chaparral and Puerta Mexico Este.
The rationale behind their decision is even more astounding.
Rudolfo Figueroa, a representative of INAMI in Baja California said, “We are doing what should be done. 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.”
Yet Mexican officials have for years demanded an open border policy by the United States. While the program was canceled, it is incredible that it even existed in the first place.
