Mexico complains - Mexicans crossing its borders looking for work
YJCMTSUA 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. And your point....? 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. Awwwww - my heart just breaks for them. No, wait.... it's just the chili. 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. 'Bout damn time The Mexican delegation, members of Sonora's 58th Legislature, belong to the National Action Party (PAN), the party of Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón. Of course they do "How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican Rep. Leticia Amparano Gamez, who represents Nogales. Because Arizona is part of a sovereign nation (a concept you don't seem to understand - except of course for your nation), not your dumping ground for excess people? "There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or relative working Gee, here's an idea - if you're going to complain to an English-speaking nation in that English-speaking nation, try complaining in English. You might get more people to actually, you know, listen. "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. And this is our problem because....? "We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora and Arizona. Ummmmm - NO. Sonora and Arizona are IN TWO SEPARATE COUNTRIES. With an INTERNATIONAL BORDER between them. You know, kinda like that international border your country Amparano said the Mexican legislators are already asking the federal government of Mexico for help for Sonora. So Sonorans are Democrats; first response is to demand to suck at the federal teat. GFL on that one.... "What do we do with the repatriated?" he asked. "As Mexicans, we are worried. They are Mexicans but they are also people I can't believe he said that - fathers and mothers and young people with jobs" who won't have work in Sonora." Gee, ever thought of changing your corrupt Hat tip: Mickey Kaus Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2008-01-19 |
