Sonoran officials slam sanctions law in Tucson visit

[gLing]

A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.

At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora - Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here 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. Penalties include suspension or loss of a business license.
Its intent is to eliminate or curtail the top draw for immigrants to this country - jobs.

Too bad. So sad.

 

[GraceAbounds]

Yeah, I live in AZ. Our economy is not falling apart since this took law went into effect and it isn't going to.

 

[NuckingFuts]

:homo: I live in Tucson. I think that this is the best thing that could happen. If only every state would do this.

 

[GraceAbounds]

If only every state would do this.

No doubt!

Rep'd!

I bet it's easier to teach your kids responsibility too. They now have the opportunity to flip burgers and empty trash cans again instead of living off mom and dad into their mid 20's.

Here in California, I don't remember the last time I was served by a High School student.... Weird. :confused

 

[IntruderLS1]

Oh yeah, don't forget mowing lawns too. That was always a summer favorite.

My son works does odd jobs for our neighbors. He works hard to pay for the Christian summer camp he likes to go to every year. I'm trying to get him to think larger and raise money for him to go to Africa on a missionary trip this year.

Wow Grace it sounds like you have a good son. Definately sounds like he has his head screwed on right.

I believe he does. He is a good kid. I just pray he stays on the path he is on. He such a blessing to me. I learn so much from him.

 

[IntruderLS1]

That's really great Gracie. Something random about fruit falling off trees is dancing back in my brain somewhere.

 

[All Else Failed]

I believe he does. He is a good kid. I just pray he stays on the path he is on. He such a blessing to me. I learn so much from him.

May I talk to him?

 

[IntruderLS1]

You going to convince the kid how the world really got started with all of your scientific proof AEF? :24:

I have my money on the kid. ... (Grace's that is) :jk

 

[All Else Failed]

Yes. :>

 

[GraceAbounds]

May I talk to him?

Sure can. I think he could teach you a thing or two as well.

Seriously, he is really a wonderful kid. Beautiful heart & soul.

Yeah I was just kidding.

I'm sure he's a good kid.

 

[GraceAbounds]

Yeah I was just kidding.

I know you were hun. You'd like him though. He's just one of those kinds of kids.
