There has been much criticism of Arizona;s new immigration law but just how bad is it. Mexico has condemned it However, here are some of Mexico's immigration laws.---
Make illegal entry into the country a felony punishable by two years' imprisonment.
Make re-entry, after deportation punishable by ten years' imprisonment.
Require all law enforcement officials at all levels to cooperate in enforcement of immigration laws, including illegal alien arrest and deportations.
In obvious cases allow any person to arrest the illegal aliens and accomplices.
Make it a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico.
Require immigration authorities to keep a record of each foreigner.
Ban foreigners from interfering in internal politics;
Send those who aid in illegal immigration to prison.
Allow only immigrants who will be useful and that can support themselves and their dependents.
Keep track of every foreigner in the country.
All police at every level must cooperate with federal immigration and assist in the arrests of illegal immigrants.
Fine and/or imprison foreigners with fake immigration papers.
Fine, deport, and/or imprison foreigners who fail to obey the laws.
Imprison foreigners who are deported and re-enter the country for 10 years.
Make it a felony to help illegal aliens enter the country or to employ them.

In fact, immigrants into Mexico face far more restrictions than Mexican immigrants into Arizona.

This has little bearing on SB 1070, though, emotional arguments aside. Many countries have harsher immigration laws than the USA... but none of those countries claim to be the USA, and none boast the open society that we do. Our entire national "brand" is based on the diametric opposite of search and seizure.
Also bear in mind that SB 1070 does not just affect immigrants, but people that the police think are immigrants. In other words, US citizens.

I agree. I would hate to be stopped and demanded for my passport to prove that I am an American citizen traveling in his own country. Fortunately I already visited Arizona three times and, although I would love to go back to that magnificent state, I rather not.

There must be a balance between border security and civil rights.

Either the laws must be made so they can be enforced or there should be no law. If there is illegality, there must be ways for our law enforcers to enforce, or make the illegal, legal. When a criminal is black, in a black neighborhood and the police only look at black citizens...is that racial profiling? Why have immigration papers, in the first place, if they cannot be asked for when an immigration crime has been committed on the border with Mexico. If I had gone to all the trouble of becoming legal, I'd be pissed if someone else got away with it...so easily. Why did I bother? It's an insult to me. Why have legal or illegal if it isn't going to be able to be enforced.

Good points. All I am saying is the AZ law is far from Fascist and Mexico is being hypocritical. My view is the police should not worry about documents unless someone is arrested. They should heavily fine, $50,000 per offense, employers who hire illegal aliens. No jobs, few illegal immigrants.

My mother lives in US. She loves it. She did get a green card before she went. I prefer to live in Brazil. It is very nice to be able to make choices.
The truth is "to have options" is a privilege many do not have.

Good comment. If I left the US Brasil would be my first choice.

Referendum requires filing 76,682 voter signatures by 90 days. But Still at most of online polls people support the Law. immigration.civiltalks.com/You can influence the law by simple VOTEnational polls show widespread support for SB 1070 with one showing that 51 percent of those surveyed considered that it is "about right" in its approach and 9 percent saying that it does not go far enough.
