The new administration in Mexico is undertaking a number of actions during its first 100 days in office in order to send the message that it is keeping promises made during the presidential campaign. Vows to create jobs, and to reorient the economy to get finances into shape and promote both national and foreign investment. The goal too is to offer security to Mexicans and investors alike through compliance with the law, and by doing away with impunity given dissident groups that resort to violence.

As well, the hope is for something specific associated with a new migration policy.

Mexico is a nation that generates emigrants, with one out of every seven workers leaving the country. Furthermore, it receives immigrants from abroad, mainly from Central and South America. Yet up to now Mexico’s national migration policy and practices have failed to respond to complaints that we must insure proper treatment of Mexicans living abroad, and respect for their human rights in the United States regardless of their legal status.

In Mexico however, according to the General Population Law, a migrant who does not have proper documents legalizing his or her presence in the country is considered a criminal. Still, the law is not generally applied in such harsh terms although the legal requisites exist, and with them the possibility of penalizing what is legally a crime.
