Ominous, by Bryanna Bevens
Arizona supporters of the
Protect Arizona Now Initiative, congratulations on
your outstanding work. But be warned. They know about it
here in Mexico.
Yes, that’s right. On August 11th,
2004, in the Mexican Congress, Senator César Camacho
took a swipe at the Protect Arizona Now Initiative and
called on the Mexican Foreign Minister to be vigilant.
Camacho said that the Initiative
“[O]penly
discriminates against our fellow Mexicans, proposing the
loss of basic social services in that state…”
“discrimina abiertamente a nuestros
connacionales, debido a que propone la pérdida de los
servicios sociales básicos en ese estado de la Unión
Americana.” [Condena

Torreón, August 12th, 2004]
Of course, Senator Camacho
conveniently fails to point out that the Protect Arizona
Now Initiative deals with illegal aliens—who have
no right to be in Arizona in the first place.
Beware, Arizonans. Not only must
you continue to fight your state’s political
establishment, you must also be vigilant against the
real possibility of Mexican government
meddling to stop the Protect Arizona Now Initiative.
Ten years ago, California’s
Proposition 187 ignited a firestorm of opposition in
Mexico. Despite the fact that Prop 187 passed, the
Mexican government
pressured American politicians and helped to
invalidate it.
So be warned. Be vigilant. But
don’t throw in the towel, and don’t back down. You’re in
the right. Most Americans agree with you!
