In Sinaloa the state government supported the migrant workers that live in Arizona, which by the enforcement of HB2779, "wounds the human rights and labor of the Mexican citizens".

Governor Jesus Aguilar Padilla, rejected the measure, through a press release, against the Mexican workers –mostly born in Sinaloa– that are obligated toemigrate to that country, and required an agreement, with the joint participation of the American and Mexican governments, to seek "bilateral, rational, and just solutions".

He added that "given the local political motivations, that are discriminatory and even racist of the previously mentioned law, the condemnatory reactions do not only occur in our country. They also proceed from important American management organizations. The reason is evident: the application of the new legislation, besides its attempt against the human rights of the migrants, disqualifies their labor, which is fundamental for an endless number of businesses of American companies bordering with Mexico".
