I-MEXICO CITY - Urhulumente waseMexico ulumkise abemi bakhe ngoLwesibini ukuba basebenzise isilumkiso esiqatha ukuba batyelela e-Arizona ngenxa yomthetho omtsha onzima ofuna ukuba bonke abafuduki kunye neendwendwe baphathe amaxwebhu akhutshwe e-US okanye ukubanjwa komngcipheko.
Umongameli uBarack Obama naye wawugxeka lo mthetho, esithi ungakhokelela ekuhlukunyezweni kwabantu base-Hispanics, kwaye wacela inkxaso ye-bipartisan ukulungisa inkqubo yokufudukela eMelika eyaphukileyo. Amagosa amabini aphezulu kurhulumente wakhe athi umthetho wase-Arizona unokujongana nomceli mngeni wezomthetho ngabasemagunyeni.
"Ngoku ngequbuliso ukuba awunawo amaphepha akho, kwaye ukhuphe umntwana wakho ukuya kufumana i-ayisikrimu, uya kuphathwa kakubi - yinto enokwenzeka leyo," utshilo umongameli wase-US ngalo mlinganiso. “Asiyondlela ilungileyo leyo.”
Umthetho wase-Arizona - omiselwe ukusebenza ekupheleni kukaJulayi okanye ekuqaleni kuka-Agasti - wenza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwelizwe ukuba ube e-US ngokungekho mthethweni kwaye uvumela amapolisa ukuba abuze nabani na okrokrela ukuba ungumphambukeli ongekho mthethweni. Abenzi bomthetho bathi lo mthetho, obangele uqhanqalazo olukhulu kunye nokumangalelwa, uyafuneka kuba ulawulo luka-Obama luyasilela ukunyanzelisa imithetho ekhoyo.
Umphathiswa Wezangaphandle eMexico ukhuphe isilumkiso sokuhamba e-Arizona emva kokuba umthetho utyikityiwe, elumkisa ngelithi isicatshulwa sawo sibonisa "imeko yezopolitiko engathandekiyo kubantu abafudukayo nakuzo zonke iindwendwe zaseMexico."
Esi silumkiso sithe xa sele uqalile ukusebenza lo mthetho, abantu basemzini bangabuzwa nangawuphi na umzuzu kwaye bavalelwe ukuba basilele ukuphatha amaxwebhu okufudukela kwelinye ilizwe. Kwaye ilumkisa ukuba umthetho uyakukwenza kube ngekho mthethweni ukuqesha okanye ukuqeshwa kwisithuthi esimiswe esitratweni.
I-arhente karhulumente yaseMexico ehlangeneyo exhasa abantu baseMexico abahlala kunye nokusebenza eUnited States bacele ukuba i-boycotts ye-Tempe, i-Ariz.-based US Airways, i-Arizona Diamondbacks kunye ne-Phoenix Suns de kube loo mibutho ikhalimela umthetho.
“Senza umnxeba onamandla kurhulumente wase-Arizona ukuba arhoxise lo mthetho uhlehlayo kunye nocalucalulo ongachaphazeli abahlali base-Arizona kuphela, kodwa abantu abakuwo onke amazwe angama-50 naseMexico ngokunjalo,” utshilo uRaul Murillo, osebenza neZiko labantu baseMexico. Kwilizwe langaphandle, iziko elizimeleyo leSebe lezangaphandle laseMexico.
Isithethi se-US Airways uJim Olson uthe "asizange sibe nabathengi abaye barhoxisa iinqwelomoya" ngenxa yempikiswano. Iicalls eziya kooDiamondbacks nooLanga khange zikhawuleze zibuyiswe.
EWashington, iGqwetha Jikelele u-Eric Holder kunye noNobhala wezoKhuseleko lweLizwe uJanet Napolitano bawugxekile umthetho, uHolder esithi urhulumente wobumbano unokuwucela umngeni.
Ukhetho oluninzi luphantsi kwengqwalasela, kubandakanywa "ukubakho komngeni wenkundla," utshilo uHolder.
Iinzame zabemi zokurhoxisa umthetho nazo zilindelwe. UJon Garrido, ovelisa iwebhusayithi ye-Hispanic kwaye akazange aphumelele kulo nyaka uphelileyo kwiBhunga lesiXeko sasePhoenix, uthe uceba ukuqalisa ukuqokelela iisignesha kwiveki ezayo ukuze afumane ukurhoxiswa kwevoti ngoNovemba. Ukuba uphumelele, iinzame ziya kuthintela umthetho ukuba usebenze kude kube yivoti.
U-Obama uthe ngoLwesibini ukuba "akhawulwanga kakuhle" amanyathelo afana ne-Arizona anokumiswa ukuba urhulumente wobumbano ulungisa inkqubo yokufudukela e-US ngokulungileyo.
U-Obama uthembise ngokuza neqela lakhe, ecenga abantu baseRiphabhlikhi ukuba bangenelele njengekuphela kwethemba eliqinisekileyo lokusombulula ingxaki yezopolitiko kunye nokwenza isivumelwano sokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe.
"Ndiza kuzisa uninzi lweeDemokhrasi etafileni ekwenzeni oku," utshilo u-Obama ephendula umbuzo kwiholo yedolophu kumazantsi embindi we-Iowa. "Kodwa kufuneka ndifumane uncedo oluvela kwelinye icala."
Abezopolitiko base-US nabo bangene kwimpikiswano ekhulayo, kunye nexesha lonyulo.
ECalifornia, uMeg Whitman, umgqatswa wangaphambili waseRiphabhlikhi kwindawo yokuqala yaseCalifornia, uthe iArizona ithatha indlela engalunganga.
"Ndicinga ukuba kukho iindlela ezingcono zokusombulula le ngxaki," utshilo uWhitman kudliwanondlebe nomnxeba ne-Associated Press.
Umongameli welizwe laseCalifornia u-Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg uthe umthetho uzama ukusemthethweni ukuchazwa kobuhlanga kwaye wabiza u-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ukuba ahlolisise izivumelwano zombuso kunye ne-Arizona kwaye azicime ukuba kunokwenzeka ngokusemthethweni.
U-Schwarzenegger akakaphenduli, kodwa uxelele iintatheli ukuba imiba yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe luxanduva lorhulumente wobumbano.
USendela wase-Arizona uJohn McCain, efuna unyulo kwakhona, uxelele i-CBS "I-Early Show" ukuba ilizwe lakhe lidinga umthetho onjalo kuba ulawulo luka-Obama luye lwasilela ukukhusela imida, okubangele ukuba iziyobisi zithululele kumzantsi-ntshona we-United States ukusuka eMexico.
Suku ngalunye, ngaphezu kwama-65,000 abahlali baseMexico base-Arizona ukuba basebenze, batyelele abahlobo kunye nezalamane kunye neevenkile, ngokutsho kweYunivesithi yase-Arizona isifundo esixhaswa yi-Ofisi ye-Arizona yezoKhenketho. Ngelixa belapho, iindwendwe zaseMexico zichitha ngaphezulu kwe-7.35 yezigidi zeedola mihla le kwiivenkile zaseArizona, iiresityu, iihotele kunye namanye amashishini, abaphandi bafumanisa.
I-Bimbo Bakeries, enye yeenkampani ezininzi zaseMexico ezisebenza e-Arizona, yathi ngoLwesibini ayilindelanga ukuba umthetho omtsha wase-Arizona wokufuduka uchaphazele abasebenzi bayo.
"Sivavanya ngononophelo bonke abo sisebenzisana nabo ukuqinisekisa ukuba bagunyazisiwe ukusebenza e-United States," utshilo isithethi sikaBimbo uDavid Margulies.
Kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseMexico City ngoLwesibini, abantu baseMexico abaya e-US bathi bakhathazeke kakhulu ngumthetho omtsha.
“Kuyathoba,” utshilo uModesto Perez, ohlala e-Illinois. “Imbi ngenene.”
