EMEXICO CITY - Uhulumeni waseMexico uxwayise izakhamizi ngoLwesibili ukuthi ziqaphele kakhulu uma zivakashela e-Arizona ngenxa yomthetho omusha onzima odinga ukuthi bonke abokufika kanye nezivakashi baphathe imibhalo ekhishwe e-US noma baboshwe engozini.
UMengameli uBarack Obama naye uwugxekile lo mthetho, wathi ungaholela ekuhlukunyezweni kwe-Hispanics, futhi wacela ukwesekwa kwama-bipartisan ukuze kulungiswe uhlelo lokufika kwabantu eMelika oluphukile. Izikhulu ezimbili eziphezulu kuhulumeni wakhe zithe umthetho wase-Arizona ungase ubhekane nenselelo yezomthetho yiziphathimandla zombuso.
"Manje ngokuzumayo uma ungenawo amaphepha akho, futhi ukhiphe ingane yakho ukuyothola u-ayisikhilimu, uzohlukunyezwa - yinto engenzeka leyo," kusho umongameli wase-US ngalesi silinganiso. “Akuyona indlela efanele leyo.”
Umthetho wase-Arizona - ohlelelwe ukuthi uqale ukusebenza ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi noma ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti - ukwenza kube yicala lombuso ukuba se-US ngokungemthetho futhi uvumela amaphoyisa ukuthi abuze noma ubani asola ukuthi ungowokufika ngokungemthetho. Abameli bathe lo mthetho, osekuqubule imibhikisho emikhulu nokumangalelana, uyadingeka ngoba abaphathi baka-Obama bayehluleka ukusebenzisa imithetho ekhona.
UMnyango Wezangaphandle eMexico ukhiphe isexwayiso sokuhambela i-Arizona ngemuva kokusayinwa komthetho, waxwayisa ngokuthi ukubhalwa kwawo kukhombisa “isimo sezepolitiki esingesihle emiphakathini yabafuduki nakuzo zonke izivakashi zaseMexico.”
Isexwayiso sithe uma lo mthetho usuqalile ukusebenza, abokufika bangabuzwa noma yinini futhi bavalelwe uma behluleka ukuphatha izincwadi zokungena. Futhi ixwayisa ngokuthi umthetho uzophinde wenze kube ukwephula umthetho ukuqasha noma ukuqashwa emotweni emi emgwaqeni.
I-ejensi esebenzisana nohulumeni wase-Mexico esekela abantu baseMexico abahlala futhi abasebenza e-United States icele ukuba kudube i-Tempe, i-US Airways ese-Ariz., i-Arizona Diamondbacks kanye ne-Phoenix Suns kuze kube lezo zinhlangano zikhuza umthetho.
"Sinxusa uhulumeni wase-Arizona ukuthi ahoxise lo mthetho wokucwasa nokucwasa ongathinti izakhamizi zase-Arizona kuphela, kodwa nabantu bazo zonke izifundazwe ezingama-50 naseMexico," kusho uRaul Murillo, osebenza ne-Institute for Mexico. Kwamanye amazwe, i-ejensi ezimele yoMnyango Wezangaphandle waseMexico.
Umkhulumeli we-US Airways uJim Olson uthe "asinawo nhlobo amakhasimende akhansele izindiza" ngenxa yale ngxabano. Izingcingo ezibhekiswe kwabakwa-Diamondbacks nabaseLangeni bezingaphendulwanga.
EWashington, Ummeli Jikelele u-Eric Holder kanye noNobhala Wezokuphepha Kwasekhaya uJanet Napolitano bawugxekile lo mthetho, kwathi uHolder wathi uhulumeni wobumbano angase awuphonsele inselelo.
Izinketho eziningi ziyacutshungulwa, okuhlanganisa "ukuba khona kwenselelo yenkantolo," kusho uHolder.
Umzamo wezakhamizi wokuchitha umthetho nawo ulindelekile. UJon Garrido, okhiqiza iwebhusayithi ye-Hispanic futhi wagijima ngokungaphumeleli ngonyaka odlule eMkhandlwini Wedolobha lasePhoenix, uthe uhlela ukuqala ukuqoqa amasignesha ngesonto elizayo ukuze athole inhlolovo yokuchithwa kwevoti ngoNovemba. Uma kuphumelele, umzamo uzovimba umthetho ukuthi usebenze kuze kube ukuvota.
U-Obama uthe ngoLwesibili ukuthi izindlela “ezingacatshangwanga kahle” njenge-Arizona zingamiswa uma uhulumeni wobumbano elulungisa kahle uhlelo lokufika kwabantu e-US.
U-Obama uzibophezele ukuthi uzoletha iqembu lakhe, enxusa amaRiphabhulikhi ukuthi ajoyine njengokuphela kwethemba elingokoqobo lokuxazulula inkinga eguquguqukayo kwezepolitiki futhi kwenziwe isivumelwano sokufika kwabokufika.
"Ngizoletha iningi lamaDemocrats etafuleni ekwenzeni lokhu," kusho u-Obama ephendula umbuzo ehholo ledolobha eningizimu maphakathi ne-Iowa. “Kodwa kufanele ngithole usizo oluvela kolunye uhlangothi.”
Osopolitiki base-US nabo bangene enkingeni ekhulayo, njengoba sekusondele isikhathi sokhetho.
ECalifornia, uMeg Whitman, umgijimi ophambili weRiphabhlikhi eCalifornia gubernatorial primary, uthe i-Arizona ithatha indlela engalungile.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi kunezindlela ezingcono zokuxazulula le nkinga," kusho uWhitman engxoxweni yocingo ne-Associated Press.
Umongameli wesifunda sase-California u-Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg uthe umthetho uzama ukwenza kube semthethweni ukuchazwa kwezinhlanga futhi wacela uHulumeni u-Arnold Schwarzenegger ukuthi abuyekeze izinkontileka zombuso ne-Arizona futhi azisule uma kungenzeka ngokomthetho.
USchwarzenegger akakaphenduli, kodwa utshele izintatheli ukuthi izindaba zabokufika ziwumthwalo kahulumeni wobumbano.
USonela we-Arizona uJohn McCain, ofuna ukuqokwa kabusha, utshele i-CBS "The Early Show" ukuthi izwe lakhe lidinga umthetho onjalo ngoba abaphathi baka-Obama behlulekile ukuvikela imingcele, okubangele ukutheleka kwezidakamizwa eningizimu-ntshonalanga ye-United States zisuka eMexico.
Usuku ngalunye, izakhamuzi zaseMexico ezingaphezu kuka-65,000 zise-Arizona ukuze zisebenze, zivakashele abangani nezihlobo futhi zithenge, ngokocwaningo lwe-University of Arizona oluxhaswe yi-Arizona Office of Tourism. Ngenkathi zilapho, izivakashi zaseMexico zisebenzisa imali engaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-7.35 zamaRandi nsuku zonke ezitolo zase-Arizona, izindawo zokudlela, amahhotela namanye amabhizinisi, abacwaningi bathole.
IBimbo Bakeries, enye yezinkampani eziningi zaseMexico ezisebenza e-Arizona, ithe ngoLwesibili ayilindele ukuthi umthetho omusha wase-Arizona wokufuduka uzothinta abasebenzi bayo.
"Sihlola ngokucophelela bonke esisebenzisana nabo ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi bagunyaziwe ukusebenza e-United States," kusho okhulumela uBimbo uDavid Margulies.
Esikhumulweni sezindiza saseMexico City ngoLwesibili, abantu baseMexico ababheke e-US bathi bakhathazeke kakhulu ngalo mthetho omusha.
“Kuyalulaza,” kusho uModesto Perez, ohlala e-Illinois. “Kubi ngempela.”
