At Mexico's behest, eleven countries condemn Arizona law
At the closing of the Assembly of Parliamentary Presidents held in Geneva, eleven countries signed a declaration condemning Arizona's Law SB1070, which they consider to have a "racist, xenophobic spirit and one contrary to immigration of any type." The declaration was introduced by Felipe Solis Acero, Vice-President of Mexico's Parliament, and was signed by delegates from Mexico, Uruguay, Panama, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Turkey, Senegal, Micronesia and Chile.
Besides lamenting the "spirit against immigration in general and the irregular (read: illegal) in particular" the declaration acknowledges the efforts of Barack Obama, for "his personal commitment to promote an integral migratory reform."
(This item was also reported in some Central American papers and was prominently featured in many papers in Mexico. The balance of pertinent news from Mexico consisted of the endless accounts of scattered homicides and some dismemberments)
