Wait a minute. "legal-residents"? So...they HAD Permanent Resident status? Or did they have temporary work visas...maybe...

Ya let me educate you about that too.
I married my Czech wife here in Canada. We still had to leave for a year, go through proper channels, and gain permanent resident status for her. Then she could return. Not before. And THAT is how LEGAL IMMIGRATION works.

Cry me a river...
If you refuse or do not go through proper channels, you may not be a permanent resident.!
Why should the laws be any different for Mexicans...or Muslims?
