This was uploaded to another forum as the Mexican immigration laws.  Not 
sure how to check if it is legitimate.  Maybe someone here can figure it 
out:

Mexican Constitution, Chapter 3, Article 33

"The Executive of the Union (The President) has the exclusive right to 
expel from the national territory, immediately and without necessity of 
judicial proceedings, all foreigners whose stay it judges inconvenient. 
  Foreigners may not, in any manner, involve themselves in the political 
affairs of the country."
