The U.S. ambassador to Nicaragua, Robert Callahan, described as "unconstitutional and violates human rights," the controversial SB 1070 of the state of Arizona, which has generated much controversy over racial discrimination against immigrants can generate.

"My personal opinion, well, no surprise to you, but I completely agree with my president because our Constitution has an article and said to equal treatment under the law and for me the Arizona law is a violation of this article ... "said Callahan.

The law went into effect yesterday and was promulgated on 23 April by the Republican governor, Jane Brewer, which led to various national and international advocates for the rights of immigrants, said that it makes it a crime simply be an undocumented migrant in Arizona, but the federal judge in Phoenix, Susan Bolton, ordered to suspend the sensitive points of the standard that sparked the controversy.

"The day before yesterday a court ruled that some aspects of the law itself is unconstitutional and police in Arizona may not be implemented, then that is good news for me, I think it will eventually reach the Supreme Court in the United States and they will to decide whether the law is constitutional, "recalled the ambassador.

Discuss reform next year
The diplomat said that next year the U.S. government will be working on an amendment to the Migration Act to ensure that immigrants enter the country legally, because they represent a great contribution to the economy and culture of their country.

"We do have laws on legal immigration to the United States, but we do not enforce the laws, there is an almost complete chaos in our immigration policy, then it is necessary for the Senators, Members of the House of Representatives find a way to vote for a law that is clear, fair, that we can implement to ensure that immigrants who want to go to the United States can go, but legally, "said the ambassador.

He noted that there are between 10 to 12 million immigrants in this country who have come in search of opportunities. "All of us, every American, with the exception of our indigenous people, are children, grandchildren, great grandchildren of immigrants, in my case I had a grandfather who came from Ireland to the United States and he worked hard and succeeded in the United States and his grandson is now the ambassador to Nicaragua, "he said Callahan.
