Newly issued Mexican immigration regulations are bad news for Americans
The vehicle issue affects thousands of people who brought cars with them. Many are older people who are now faced with the long road trip in unsafe regions to remove the cars they legally brought to Mexico. Any vehicle that is not included in the NAFTA agreement cannot be nationalized and must be driven out of the country. The cost to nationalize those that qualify is very expensive and a burden to people living on social security income. New immigration laws went into effect in Nov. but customs did nothing to consider the thousands of vehicles and all the retired immigrants affected. Although many parts of the new immigration law are positive, this vehicle issue is creating havoc among law-abiding immigrants. It really is a complex problem with no solution yet. Many older people are afraid their vehicles will be confiscated by police.— March 7, 2013 4:34 p.m.
