MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government blasted Georgia's new illegal immigration law Tuesday, calling it a half-measure that discriminates against Mexicans.
Ruben Aguilar, spokesman for President Vicente Fox, told reporters Tuesday morning that implementing parts of the Georgia law could result in "acts of discrimination" against Mexicans living in Georgia. "It's the position of [Fox] that the half-measures in this law are insufficient to resolve ... the complex phenomenon of immigration between Mexico and the United States," Aguilar said.
The Georgia bill, signed into law Monday by Gov. Sonny Perdue, requires verification of the legal status of those seeking certain taxpayer-funded services. The law also prevents employers from claiming the wages of illegal workers as a state tax deduction.

All Vicente would need to do is supply a rule of law for all people in Mexico, so that Mexicans can keep what the make, and the Mexican people will build their own wealth. And make a poorly managed cesspit into a garden. Assuming he would survive the effort.
It`s only complex to people who don`t want to understand it. Your country sucks, so your people come here as quick as they can. We don`t want them here and want them to stop coming. See? Not complex at all.
Why doesn't our President?
I know the media is always on the wrong side, but really, its not their job to promote American Foriegn Policy.
Just deport all of the illegals NOW.
As America discusses “Illegal Immigration” we are ignoring the third side of the triangle. [Family, Career & Home]… or… I work Here. Work & People are, currently, in the discussion mix. Bosses & Immigrants have been blamed. Predatory Landlords have been ignored.
Slumlords & dishonest property managers should be a Major part of the Issue. Those folks delight in preying on tenants that Pay in Cash for substandard housing & don’t complain. Those Scoundrels can Over Charge, yet underreport their Income, when they collect the rent in CASH. They happily ignore Occupancy Codes & Safety Codes, while lining their own pockets and intimidating their tenants.
I’m baffled that neither the Media nor our Elected Officials have recognized the role of Slumlords in “Border Policy”.
Nothing discriminates against Mexicans more than the Mexican government!
"Bet Sonny's approval rating just went up 10 points"
At least.
Thats what I don't really get about all this.
When 80% of the population says they want something done about illegal immigration, how can you lose by enforcing the laws?
I may very well become a GOP defector. I'm pretty sick of the way the Republicans have handled this issue.
Dear Vicente,
You can take your anger and shove it up your Foxhole.
Love,
TOO BAD!!!
Sonny may win the election with this law.
Who gives a crap? Georgia = USA, Mexico = Third world border crossing criminals
Let's tell Vicente that we'll be changing our immigration laws and we'll be using MEXICO's as the model. I wonder how he'll like that.
Now if we only had courageous reps in our state gummint. Ours are spineless idiots who wouldn't vote against the illegals under any circumstances. Gag!
Sonny had the election locked anyway, this just sealed it.
He wouldn't so he won't.
Who gives a rat's behind what Mexico thinks about our state laws?
They can take a hike.
PVF SHUT UP!!
As I see it nothing is wrong...!If you are here and a Criminal Illegal Alien... GO HOME ASAP! Get Legal and never return until you get it Right! This is a Sovereign Nation and we live by the Rule of Law and you are Criminal and in violation!
"discriminates against Mexicans"
Ya mean, illegal aliens?
Alright Georgia!
At least there will be one or two US states fit to live in provided our congresscritters step away from the amnesty koolaid.
