MEMORANDUM**
Abraham Catalino Resendiz Casanova, his wife Maricruz Quintana Bareta, and their three children, all natives and citizens of Mexico, petition pro se for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision affirming an immigration judge’s order denying their application for cancellation of removal because they lack a qualifying relative. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review de novo constitutional claims arising out of removal proceedings, Jimenez-Angeles v. Ashcroft, 291 F.3d 594, 599 (9th Cir.2002), and we deny the petition for review.
*198Petitioners contend it violates equal protection to require Mexicans to prove exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to a qualifying relative when applicants from other countries are exempt from this requirement under the Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (“NA-CARA”). This contention is foreclosed by this court’s decisions in Jimenez-Angeles, 291 F.3d at 602-03, and Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 517 (9th Cir.2001) (the decision to favor aliens from specific war-torn countries under NACARA must be upheld because it stems from a rational diplomatic decision to encourage such aliens to remain in the United States).
The voluntary departure period was stayed, and that stay will expire upon issuance of the mandate. See Desta v. Ashcroft, 365 F.3d 741 (9th Cir.2004).
PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
