< Strengthen new state-university relationship
The publication of the Decree that opens the possibility of regularizing foreign motor units that are in the country illegally, arose in inconvenient circumstances, when families from Tamaulipas and other border entities, those with limited resources, are experiencing their worst moment due to to the effects of the pandemic on productive activities. Affected by unemployment or the slowdown in the economy, many have had to dip into their savings fund or take out loans and are unable to pay 10,000 pesos or more for the procedure.
What seemed like an easy and economical procedure was not, because the two thousand 500 pesos per unit referred to in the Decree, it turned out that this sum is only a part, the one that corresponds to the income that the federation will capture and that will repay the border states for paving works. But it turns out that there are other costs that fluctuate between 6,500 pesos and 8,000 pesos or more, which is the customs process.
Because the vast majority of the units were introduced into the country through a temporary permit, and were not acquired through an import permit, therefore they lack that document to carry out the regularization and obtaining it has a cost, this is the first procedure that they will have to overcome to proceed with the management before the tax authority.
Other requirements are the environmental certification and the mechanical situation, which if not met, will have to be resolved with the usual "bite".
Some of the inhabitants of the border cities, if they made the purchase through an import permit, because they managed the so-called "border plates", because in this way they can even bring the vehicle to other states of the country temporarily, for vacations or businesses, without having a problem, but they are the least.
The newspaper El Universal published that the legalization of cars or trucks ranges between 15,000 and 20,000 pesos, surely referring to the equipped units that circulate in Mexico City and that are not few, and although the Decree specifies that Sports cars, armored vehicles and luxury vehicles will not have the benefit of regularization, there are many ways to hide these characteristics.
For example, a super luxury Pick Up is considered a work truck, to cite an example.
Likewise, for the processing of this regularization, only the inhabitants of the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Michoacán, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Sonora and Tamaulipas are considered, it is expected that those who have these units agents in other entities, they will look for a way to legalize them through a proxy, relatives or friends.
The spirit of the Decree was "sold" to Mexicans as a decision of the Government of the Republic to benefit the most needy classes, which are the ones that are supposed to have acquired these units because they are cheaper, but that purpose is far from being fulfilled.
The only possibility of successful results of this Decree is that the economy improves in the first months of this year and this contributes to the financial recovery of all, and thus have solvency before July 20, when the validity of this provision ends. constitutional.
There are other limitations that will leave many vehicles out of the regularization and they are those whose registration begins with a letter and not with a number, they are the units of German or Japanese origin, to name the best known.
In short, we will see what results are obtained, hopefully they will be the best for the benefit of the heritage of many families from Tamaulipas and other border states.
