WOW!!!….Mexico doesn’t want their “OWN” people!
Three cheers for Arizona!
The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora, Mexico do not like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It’s almost funny.
The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico!!!
Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona’s new employer crackdown on illegals from Mexico.
It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their hometowns and the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off.
In January 2008, a delegation of nine legislators from Sonora (the Mexican state immediately south of Arizona) came to Tucson to express concerns that Arizona’s recently enacted Legal Arizona Workers Act (an employer sanctioned law which imposed penalties on employers who knowingly hired persons lacking documentation of their status to legally work in the United States) would have a “devastating” effect on Sonora. After a press conference held at the offices of Project PPEP a day prior to the delegation’s meeting with Hispanic legislators, the Tucson Citizen reported the Sonoran representatives posing questions such as the following:
At a news conference, the Sonoran legislators said that 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 [in Tucson] return to their hometowns without jobs or money.
They want to tell [Arizona legislators] 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.
“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.
Amparano said the Mexican legislators are already asking the federal government of Mexico for help for Sonora.
