From our "Irony on the Border" file comes this:
A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora traveled to Tucson to make the case against Arizona's new employer sanctions law,They apparently met on Wednesday with AZ state Hispanic legislators, but no names are given.
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...
"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...
