The Latin Gang of 10 against Arizona
The Latin Gang of 10 against Arizona
October 7th, 2010 | Author: Ellie Velinska
The Arizona immigration law is a matter of complaint from ten Latin America countries joining Mexico and the US Federal government lawsuit against the state. Let’s see how the Gang of 10 scores on human rights themselves.

Although the law permits children up to six years old to live with an incarcerated parent, children as old as 12 lived with their parents in prisons. (The law also permits spouses to live in prison.) Approximately 877 children lived with a parent in prison, as an alternative to being left homeless. During school vacations the number of children in prison with parents could double…

The government acknowledged the serious nature of the problem of trafficking in persons, especially the commercial sexual exploitation of minors. Awareness campaigns against child sex tourism continued, as did television and radio announcements and billboard notices designed to warn young women of the dangers of commercial sexual exploitation.
Undocumented immigrants received medical care, including prenatal and maternity care, at public health centers. However, they sometimes were denied discretionary or long-term medical care because they were not participants in the national health care insurance program.
The national minimum wage, which also covers migrant workers, did not provide a decent standard of living for a worker and family.
