A state complains about tighter immigration rules for employers!

A state is very angry about the new Arizona law that places more demands on employers to know whether their new employee is in the US legally.

The result of this new law is a flood of Mexican worker - all without money or jobs! The travesty of it all!! Of course, the delicious irony of it all is that it is a . . . . wait for it . . . . . wait for it . . . . . MEXICAN state that is complaining about the return of Mexican citizens from their illegal stint in the US.

"you are entering the twilight zone"

The Mexican delegation, members of Sonora's 58th Legislature, belong to the national Action Party (PAN), the party of Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón. They spoke at the offices of Project PPEP, a nonprofit that provides job retraining for farm workers and other programs.


The lawmakers were to travel to Phoenix for a Wednesday breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators. 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. "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.


You get that?
"We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people of Sonora
and Arizona.
No mame, we are not. We are two separate, distinct and sovereign countries.
