“Federal legislators from Mexico’s ruling party have introduced a bill to eliminate jail terms for illegal migration into Mexico, saying they want to send a message that migrants should not be treated like criminals.

The bill says illegal migrants should be fined instead of jailed. Under Mexico’s current law, enacted in 1974, illegal migrants can face two to five years in prison, although authorities rarely impose such penalties.”
