Mexico Outraged Over Returning Mexicans

"The state of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans into Mexico. Nine state legislators from the state of Sonora traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona's new employer crackdown on illegal immigrants from Mexico.

It seems that many illegal immigrants from Mexico are returning to
their hometowns, and the officials in the Sonora state government are
ticked off about it. A delegation of nine state legislators from
Sonora was in Tucson recently 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 comprised mostly of small towns, cannot handle the demand for
housing, jobs and schools it will face as Mexican workers here return
to their country without jobs or money.


The Arizona 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
business licenses. Because more companies are complying, illegal
immigrants are finding it more difficult to find work, so they are
going home.

The Mexican legislators are angry because the influx of their own
citizens is placing a burden on the state government.

"How can they pass a law like this?" asked Mexican representative
Leticia Amparano-Gomez, who represents Nogales.

"There is not one person living in Sonora who doesn't have a friend or
relative working in Arizona," she said, speaking in Spanish. "Mexico
is not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as
more and more people working in Arizona and sending money to their
families, return to their hometowns without jobs."

"We are one family, socially and economically," she said of the people
of Sonora and Arizona.

Wrong!

The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico,
and American taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico's
citizens. It's time for Mexico - and its citizens - to stop
parasitically feeding off the United States and start taking care of
its citizens' own needs.
I believe it's high time for all American states to pass a law like
the one in Arizona. Perhaps that would solve many immigration problems
that the U.S. Congress refuses to address."
