"TUCSON- A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora traveled to Tucson to make the case against Arizona's new employer sanctions law,

The lawmakers say it will have a devastating affect on the Mexican state.

At a news conference Tuesday, they said Sonora cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers in Arizona return to their hometowns without jobs or money.

The 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.

Businesses found violating the law face suspension or loss of a business license.

The lawmakers were to travel to Phoenix Wednesday for a breakfast meeting with Hispanic legislators.

They're expected to tell them how the law will affect Mexican families on both sides of the border.

"How can they 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," Amparano said in Spanish.

Amparano said the Sonoran legislators are already asking the federal government of Mexico for help.

Rep. Florencio Diaz Armenta, coordinator of the delegation, represents the agricultural rich San Luis, Rio Colorado, area south of Yuma which employs some 28,000 legal Mexican workers.

"What do we do with the repatriated?" he asked. "As Mexicans, we are worried. They are Mexicans but they are also people's fathers and mothers and young people with jobs who won't have work in Sonora."

Diaz said the Arizona law will lead to the disintegration of the family, as one legal Mexican parent remains in Arizona and the other returns to Mexico."

MEXICAN DELEGATES--RESPECT OUR LAWS.

What right do these Mexican delegates have to address AZ hispanic legislatures--CONFLICT OF INTEREST. Are the delegates asking the US for money? The huge exodus has not happened yet. Go petition the richest man in the world--Mexico's own Carlos Slim Helú.

I hope these delegates were told US citizens cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools for illegal immigrants as well as their health care, feeding and influx of crime, drugs and gang activities.

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Time for all Americans to say, "Mexico, reform your own country and help your own people, it's long past time to stand on your own two feet!"

JD Hayworth was just on Fox talking about this , He said its nuts to allow this to go on , He also said they've done it before

WELL THAT IS JUST TOO BAD. IT SOUNDS LIKE ALOT OF POOR PLANNING BY MEXICO. Do you REALLY expect America to take your Mexican citizens in and feed, clothe them, and give them an education and housing?
It is taking away from Americans who deserve a better life. Illegal aliens need to leave, one way or another.

They are going to be crying a lot harder if we can manage to get a
no amnesty attrician president ,

They will have to leave by the millions

I can't believe they have the b***s to come to the United States to tell us how our policy will effect their country. WHO CARES? It shows how low the US has sunk when other countries feel they can do this. And, where is our little man George?? And, where is our little congressman? No where to be found. Way to represent Georgie, Harry and Mrs. "Transparent Government" Pelosi.

On all the military excursions , all the meddling , mexican consualtes opening everywhere, interfering in our govt and our lives, mexican political parties holding conventions here , x mexican presidents running around here calling all of us racists ,

And our govt is completely SILENT on any of this , its as if mexico already owns this place
