This article examines some of the key points attributed to the Liberal Reform of 1857 as they appeared in the debate over immigration policy in Mexico from 1836 to 1855.

In this manner, immigration policy debates often served as a "test balloon" for what would later be defined as the essential points of liberalism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To speak of liberalism in Mexico during the nineteenth century, we must talk in plural, i.e., the Liberals, because the reception of European and North American liberal ideas in our country are transformed and adapted to country projects, which are even openly asssumed as liberal. [TRANSLATION]
