Foreigners in Mexico are entitled to all of the guarantees established in the Constitution, with the restrictions it also contains. As regards immigration and population policy governing the admittance and stay of foreigners in Mexico, the statute to be observed is the General Law on Population (LGP by its initials in Spanish).
Foreigners wishing to enter the country must do so with an administrative authorization which is granted based on the immigration status applied for by the foreigners. They must act honorably at all times and are not to get involved in the country’s political affairs; breaching these terms may be lead to deportation.
The federal government agency in charge of immigration and population policy is the Secretariat of the Interior (SEGOB by its Spanish acronym). It determines the number of foreigners who are permitted entry based on demographic studies, all according to the possibility of their contributing to the country’s progress. In the year 2000, with the Regulations of the LGP, the National Migration Institute was created as a branch organization of SEGOB in charge of regulating the admission and stay of foreigners in Mexico.
