What's sad is that I bet 90% of the people that reads that (it's the kind of thing that gets forwarded to death) will just believe it, and (obviously) get fired up and upset.
I don't have the time nor really the will to check those "laws" further, but all of them are "rephrased" for shock value to the point of almost distorting it's original purpose, most are meant for VISA holders and some I don't even think they're real.
Starting with :
(1) You immigrate to our country you have to speak the native language;
(5) No government business will be conducted in your language;
from wikipedia (again, don't have the time nor the will to actually search Mexico's Laws):
Spanish is the de facto language spoken by the vast majority of Mexicans, though the Mexican government does not legislate it as an official language. What's more they do recognize 63 indigenous languages.
Anyhow, there's no 'language test" when you request a VISA (first step towards immigration)
(6) Foreigners cannot vote or hold political office;
well duh!, show me a country that doesn't have this law, in order to vote or hold office you have to stop being a foreigner and become a citizen.
(2) You must be a professional or an investor...no unskilled workers allowed;
and how are the laws to immigrate here different than this one?.....
(9) If you want to buy land, it will be restricted....no waterfront properties and you have to relinquish individual rights to the property;
Not sure about this one, but seems valid from a sovereign point of view and there must be an equal law in the US, you wouldn't want Saudis or Chinese or Russians buying Alaska piece by piece.
well, gotta go back to work....
