There was a meeting in Tucson yesterday with Reps from States in Mexico. They're angry about the AZ law and not for the reason you think. If you read the attached, please read to the end. What a double-standard! No wonder our country looks so good to them.Rich

Mexico is Angry !!!

This is very interesting and if Arizona can do it, why can't the rest of America ?
(Read to the very last line! Shocking!)

MEXICO IS ANGRY !
Three cheers for Arizona

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora,
Mexico doesn't 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 llegals from Mexico .

It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their hometowns and
the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off.

A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on
Tuesday to state that Arizona 's new Employer Sanctions Law will have a
devastating effect on the Mexican state.

At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, - Arizona's
southern neighbor, - made up of mostly small towns, - cannot handle the
demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican workers
return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.
The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona employers who
knowingly hire ndividuals without valid legal documents to work in the
United States . Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their business
license.

The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are returning
to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state government. 'How can
Arizona 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, speaking in Spanish. 'Mexico is not
prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more and more
Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their families
return to their home-towns in Sonora without jobs,' she said.
'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 its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico 's citizens.

It's time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding
parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of its/their
own needs.

Too bad that other states within the USA don't pass a law just like that
passed by Arizona .

Maybe that's the answer, since our own Congress will do nothing!

New Immigration Laws: Read to the bottom or you will miss the message..

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.

* * * * * * * *

2. All ballots will be in this nation's language..

* * * * * * * *

3.. All government business will be conducted in our language.

* * * * * * * *

4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they
are here.

* * * * * * * *

5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office

* * * * * * * *

6 Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food
stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. Any burden
will be deported.

* * * * * * * *

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at
least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

* * * * * * * *

8. If foreigners come here and buy land... options will be restricted.
Certain parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens
naturally born into this country.

* * * * * * * *

9. Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a
foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his
policies.
These will lead to deportation.

* * * * * * * *

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively hunted
and when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be arranged. All
assets will be taken from you.

* * * * * * * * * Too strict ?

The above laws are current immigration laws of MEXICO!

Guys,
"Good fences make good neighbors" is a Robert Frost quote from his poem Mending Wall. Basically it refers to mutual respect. The Mexico senate is writing pamphlets on how to break our laws and we respond by wondering how to give the lawbreakers drivers licenses. This issue won't end because Mexico's government doesn't respect ours - as well they shouldn't. Our government is being a bunch of whiny pansies on this issue. There won't be any respect until it's earned by calling out Mexican legislators by name, shipping back illegals and making it clear that those who knowingly employ illegals here face felony charges. Make it very uncomfortable to break the law here (I know - radical concept), and gain back some of the respect we lost along with our balls. Then when we have gained back that respect we'll be able to move forward on a mutually respecting relationship. Until then, this isn't going anywhere.

Good grief, did I just quote a Massachusetts poet for a stronger stand on immigration than the commander in chief of the armed forces? That's the saddest irony of this administration I've encountered yet....
