Mexico Complains Of Too Many Repatriated Mexicans
Judicial Watch ^ | 4-7-08

Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2008 15:26:25 by kingattax

The U.S. border state leading the battle against illegal immigration with unprecedented tough laws has received complaints from Mexico’s government that too many Mexicans have been repatriated and the country is overwhelmed with demands for housing, jobs and schools.

Fed up with the devastating effect of illegal immigration, Arizona has enacted the nation’s toughest laws to curb the problem and evidently its working. State legislators have passed laws barring illegal immigrants from receiving government services, posting bail for serious crimes and winning punitive damages in lawsuits. This year a new law makes it illegal for businesses to hire undocumented workers and those that do can be shut down.

The state legislator who sponsored the work bill, Representative Russell Pearce, says the law’s undeniably positive effects include smaller class sizes, shorter emergency room waits and an overall huge savings to taxpayers. The Republican congressman drafted the bill because studies revealed that illegal immigration cost Arizona taxpayers over $2 billion annually, not including the toll of crime and destruction.

It turns out that enough illegal immigrants have either fled the U.S. or been deported that officials in the Mexican state of Sonora, which shares an extensive border with Arizona, have complained that too many of their fellow countrymen have returned. They miss the remittances sent from the U.S. as well as smaller class sizes in local schools.

Mexican government officials knew Arizona’s tough employment verification law would become their worst nightmare, which explains why they tried blocking it. Earlier this year a delegation of nine legislators from Sonora toured Tucson and held a news conference to say that their beloved state cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools resulting from illegal Mexican workers returning home.

One baffled Mexican legislator, Leticia Amparano Gamez, asked in Spanish “how can they pass a law like this?” She went on to explain that Mexico is not prepared 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. Another member of the Mexican delegation, Representative Florencio Diaz Armenta, asked “what do we do with the repatriated?”

I would donate time and labour to that project. Just my offering to better international relations, doncha know?

We could fit it with one-way turnstyles and load the support posts with CS dye boobys. Any one found in the States who smells of Habaneros and is green-skinned gets deported. That is profiling based on skin colour which I can support. >

Arizona should answer Mexico's complaints by erecting a gigantic sign facing across the boarder containing a certain phrase ending with the words, ". . . and the horse you rode in on."

I was born in New Orleans. Maybe that has something to do with it? He never did tell me exactly what it meant.

Durk if you were born in N. O. you qualify.

Coon ass is another name for Cajun, which is another name for the Acadians, who were kicked out of Canada by the British in 1755, and settled in the swamps of south Louisiana. They were some tough people.
Some say we're nuts.

Coon ass is slang wording for Cajun. I had a girlfriend once who called herself and her brother that. Yes, she was a full blooded Cajun. She was a great woman and a nurse. That was almost 30 years ago that she and I were an item and I still miss her even today.

Why donate Labor? We have loads of illegal alien labor now who can help out--They're doing jobs Americans won't do, you know.
