Mexico City, Dec 28 - Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) has said it will introduce electronic registration for foreigners entering the country through the southern border to curb illegal immigration.

In a communique, the INM Thursday said Biochip implants would be used to control the entry of workers and visitors from Belize and Guatemala from March 2008, Spanish news agency EFE reported Friday.

The implant will replace the currently used local pass, which can be easily modified.

The biochip ID will allow total electronic registration of entries and departures, officials said.

The INM said a migration form for local visitors will be issued to residents of regions near the border with Guatemala, while the migration form for border workers will benefit workers in the area bordering Belize and Guatemala.

In 2006, Mexico nabbed 200,000 people trying to enter illegally through the southern border, according to INM figures.

Immigants

Our rage, disgust must be directed at those that support all the anti-american activity. We must call out the politicians that allow this treasonus activity to occur. Democrat or Neocon Rep. Call them on the carpet and vote them out of office before we are out of a country.


Mexico to use biochip

The US should do the same to Mexicans. At least it will keep track of all their gang members and drug courriers.


Mexico's Use of Biochips

I see no reason why America shouldn’t do the same with illegal Mexicans.


Illegal Immigration

Mexico is a government of nothing BUT hypocrites. They trash our border eco systems, torture people caught entering their country's southern border illegally, print pamphlets instructing their cockroach army how to get here, and what to say/do and not say/do if they are apprehended by
US Border Patrol, including instructions to answer no questions and
insist on DEMANDING to contact one of the 47 Mexican Consulates in the US. Evidently they feel THEY are the only ones allowed to enforce their immigration laws while Calderon recently demanded the U.S. surrender its sovereignty to Mexico. Now the Biochip,
A.K.A. The Mark Of The Beast. Only in Mexico.


Mexican Officials Reveal Their Hypocrisy
By: BamaMan , Sat, 29 Dec 2007 13:34:56 GMT

Oh what liars they are! Those hypocrites
"south of the border" have claimed they
have to "right" to invade the U.S. at will, lay unjust claim to our country and its wealth--and that "we" have a
"shared responsibility" to feed,educate,
house, and medicate them at no cost to
them...but at a cost of billions,as well
as death and destruction of lives and
property of our citizens. But, they
have immigration laws which they enforce
and even enhance to control foreigners
entering and leaving Mexico. Plus, they
enforced their laws 200,000 times at least last year. Americans need to rise
up and demand our laws be enforced..on them.

Oh I get it! It's okay for Mexico to enforce it's immigration laws but conversely it's not okay for the U.S. to enforce it's immigration laws.

Just like the Mexicans to redirect all the heat maybe they think the can make us all think that the majority of our illegal immigration problem stems from Guatemala and Belize just like they attempt to make “Illegal Immigrants” and Immigrants mean the same.


Hypocrites

What hypocrites. They take extreme measures to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into their own country while they print instructions for their citizens to illegally enter the U.S.
