This would only be funny if it weren’t true.

Arizona has finally stepped up to the plate and made a new law punishing businesses that hire illegal immigrants. That’s the first step in admitting that you have a problem. The law punishes businesses by either suspending their business license, or by revoking the business license outright. Great.

Well, this is where it gets nuts. A delegation of MEXICAN lawmakers went to Tuscan, Arizona to protest the new law. Let that sink in. The reason why they are protesting? Their state, Sonora, won’t be able to handle the influx of people coming BACK to their state! They don’t have enough housing, schools and medical care. I know you’re laughing right now, because I just laughed that incredible statement! It’s just amazing that this is actually going on.

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.”

I’m sorry. But, I could give a rat’s ass about their “repatriated” citizens. The United States cannot handle the amount of illegal immigrants that have been streaming into this country unabated for years. WE do not have enough schools, housing and medical care for our OWN people!

Please watch Glenn Beck on this issue. As usual, he hits it right on the head.
