Legislators from Mexican State Angry at Influx
of...Mexicans!

A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in
Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions
law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.
At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora -
Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns
- cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools
it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to
their hometowns without jobs or money.
They're P.....'d off because their own citizens
are returning to their hometowns, placing a huge burden on
their state government. This lady has some serious balls:The law, which took effect Jan.1, punishes employers who knowingly hire individuals who don't have valid legal documents to work in the United States. Penalties include suspension or loss of a business license.
They want to tell them how the law will affect Mexican
families on both sides of the border "How can they
pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia
Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales.
Wrong. The United States is a sovereign nation and its
states and its citizens are not responsible for the welfare
of Mexico's citizens. It's time for the Mexican government
to stop parasitically feeding off of the United States and
start taking care of its own citizens."There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working in Arizona," she said in Spanish. "Mexico is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems" it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs, she said. "We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona. Wizbangblog.com/content/2008/01/20/legislators-from-Mexican-state-angry-at-influx-ofmexicans.php |
