I do not allow to vote because I am not a German citizen but I can do anything what I like and can own anything except vote. I respectfullly disagree for not allow vote because I work and pay German taxes and insurances legally for years. Oh Well... Now I don't care anymore.

Mexican laws are indeed strict. Some Mexicans don't care to enforce Mexican laws and their knowledges on Mexican history are limited. Foreigners can pay Mexican taxes and receive medical help. Foreigners in Mexico are
not allowed to protest. Foreigners are
not allowed to participate in political affairs. Foreigners are
not allowed to join the Mexican armed forces and Police forces.
They put restrictions on churches and the clergy. One of the articles under the Mexican Constitution of 1917 was recently reformed in 2004. The former article stated
"To practice the ministry of any denomination in the United Mexican States it is necessary to be a Mexican by birth ." Now, the article is reformed and it
currently states that the clergy are not allowed to hold public office.
The reason the Mexican constitution is radical because in the past, the "foreigners" (such as France and Spain) had ruled Mexico. Mexico was fed up with France and Spain because they had turned Mexico upside down and triggered the wars. The Mexican Constitution was formed culturally to keep foreigners out from attempting to rule Mexico. How irony.
If the children of a Mexican born parent are
not born in Mexico, they are automatically Mexicans, but when they turn 18, they must make a decision to choose which country they want to become citizens. Like me... I chose to become a U.S. citizen and obey U.S. laws. When my Mexican born father became a naturalized U.S. citizen, he still has his Mexican citizenship, but he has to
re-apply for repatriation if he wants to go back.

Politicians. That's why Minutemen and other organizations were formed to do something about it because the Federal government refuses to solve the illegal immigration problems and it had forced many local cities across the nation, including my city to use their local powers to pass the local laws to prevent illegal immigration, but the laws were blocked by the judges.
There have been discussions and jokes regarding "adopting" the Mexican laws and reform it into the American laws. Illegals like our US laws because they are more flexible than Mexican and foreign laws. Legally, they have no right to take advantage of our US laws.
