Its a fact, the SB 1070 law will be a true nightmare for Sonora. To the Sonoran immigrants who will return for obvious reasons, we must add the thousands and thousands of Mexicans who will cross the border daily to enter our country to avoid being jailed. I hope that the Federation and the State foresee this, because cities like Nogales are already suffering.
The problem is not that they cross for a few days; the problem is that they stay; the problem is the unemployment that we have and that we see mounting in that area; the problem is the violence and the risk that many of those unemployed and desperate Mexicans will join the ranks of organized crime which, as we well know, has taken a liking to Nogales. From this arises the urgency of a true strategy in which the Federation might contemplate helping all those people so that they return to their places of origin and avoid this nightmare in the border areas of Sonora.
The Arizona authorities in the past few days have toughened their campaign to find and deport undocumenteds. In Nogales, there are days when up to 1,200 men and women are deported and the disputed law has not yet even been applied. Can one imagine when that happens? This means it is urgent that the concerns become actions and for the implementation of a regulated plan.
Then, how it appears, neither the lovely speeches by Felipe Calderon nor the good intentions of Barack Obama will be able to counteract this enormous problem.
