Mexican Govenment Doesn’t Like Arizona Law, Huckabee Falls Into Disfavor, Even Chile Slams the Wall

Guess what? That new Arizona employer sanctions law, well, the Mexican government doesn’t like it ! Big surprise, huh ?

According to [1] an article in the Associated Press:

The Mexican government promised Friday (January 4th) to defend any Mexicans affected by an Arizona law that punishes employers who hire undocumented migrants.
And what is that new law?

The Arizona law, which went into effect Tuesday (January 1st) , prohibits businesses from knowingly employing illegal immigrants. Violators face business license suspensions for up to 10 days; a second offense triggers permanent revocation.
Notice that the new law goes after employers, which is one of the things we need to get this situation under control. But, of course, the Mexican government does not approve:

[quote]The (Foreign Relations) department said it will “intervene, through its consulates, in any situation in which the rights of Mexican workers are affected, regardless of their immigration status.â€
