Perhaps Our Immigration Laws Should Be Like Mexico's

Would that make the left happy?  Let's look at the Mexican laws, courtesy of Human Events:
Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society:
* Foreigners are admitted into Mexico "according to their possibilities of contributing to national progress." (Article 32)

* 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. (Article 34)

* 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 Mexican laws, and when "they are not found to be physically or mentally healthy." (Article 37)

* The Secretary of Governance may "suspend or prohibit the admission of foreigners when he determines it to be in the national interest." (Article 3

...

Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned:

* Foreigners with fake immigration papers may be fined or imprisoned. (Article 116)

* 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. (Article 116)
Let's try that. For those that think Arizona is now a police state, what do you think things would look like using Mexico's laws?

And speaking of Mexico, Frank at IMAO tells us they've just issued a travel advisory:
Arizona may have thought it’s new bill on illegal immigration was all fine dandy, but look at what Mexico just did. They put up a travel advisory for Arizona; now Mexicans may be less likely to come to the state. See, that’s what gets you when passing a new law: The unintended consequences.

Did you even know Mexico had like a whole government and everything that could issue travel advisories and what not? Apparently about half the government’s function is complaining about U.S. border enforcement.
See ya. Or should I say Si? No.

Could someone please figure out how to get a copy of Mexico's immigration laws on the desks of Obama, Holder, Napolitano, and all the rest who have a problem with finally trying to enforce America's laws on the subject.
By the way, just where in the Constitution might one find a ruling on 'the basic notions of fairness', and who is to determine what is 'fair'?
