EL PASO -- The Mexican consul's office in El Paso issued a statement criticizing the new Arizona measure that requires local police to enforce immigration laws.
The consul's statement reflects the Mexican federal government's position on the controversial law.
"Although the Mexican government recognizes the sovereign rights of all countries to decide policies that apply in their own territories, nevertheless, we cannot remain indifferent over a law like (Arizona) Senate Bill 1070, which has the potential to affect the human rights of thousands of Mexican people," the statement said.
