WOAH! A little harsh don't you think?
But WAIT! These are the immigration laws of the country of MEXICO!
Personally, I don't see what is all the fuss about ARIZONA.
If anyone recollects, at one point you could not come to America unless you had a job lined up, family already here, an address where they lived, no mental or physical illnesses and renounced all loyalties to other powers / kings /sovereigns / nations / empires. At least, that's what it says on my grandfathers immigration papers through Ellis Island from Italy.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia Penal Code 834b is very similar to the Arizona immigration law. So why all the fuss from city mayors in the State?
