The other side of the border is also preparing for the implementation of Arizona's new immigration law, which could lead to a surge of deportees back to Mexico.
Migrant shelters along the border in Mexico say they're bracing for new arrivals after the law goes into effect Thursday.
Mexico's government has added more workers to its consulate in Phoenix to assist detained Mexicans. Migrants who have been deported say they're watching to see how the law is enforced before deciding whether to try again to cross the border illegally into Arizona.
"On the plane, everybody was talking about the law," said Ernesto González, a deportee who arrived here last week on a U.S. government flight from Tucson. "Everybody knows it's coming."
Arizona's law makes it a state crime to be in the country illegally. It requires police to check a person's immigration status when the person has been involved in another offense and the officer has reasonable cause to suspect the person is in the country illegally. The check can be made only during the course of a lawful police action, such as a traffic stop or investigation of a crime.
The law also allows Arizona citizens to sue police departments if they feel the new law is not being enforced — a provision related to "sanctuary cities," where local government officials refuse to enforce anti-illegal-immigration laws.
The Obama administration and several rights groups have sued to stop the law from taking effect. The Mexican government has filed a "friend of the court" brief supporting the lawsuits.
In Nogales, Sonora, the state shelter for migrant children added 50 beds to the 100 it already had, Director Maria Isabel Arvizu said. The San Juan Bosco shelter in Nogales also is expecting more migrants, Director Francisco Loureiro said.

“Mexico braces for effects of Arizona immigration law”
I guess this means they need to figure out how to handle more people NOT leaving Mexico.
Why not? THIS White House has lied before.
Imagine that! Illegal aliens respond to enforcement.
Doesn't the open borders lobby always tell us that enforcement does not matter because desperate people will find other (illegal) ways to get here?
Hmmmmmm
If they have a record, does that mean they can never apply for citizenship?
It means the Federales are heading to the border to kill, rape and rob their compatriots headed south.
Attn Oboozer the law is working.
“Migrants who have been deported say they’re watching to see how the law is enforced before deciding whether to try again to cross the border illegally into Arizona... “
HAHA! Clever B@$&^*$ !
Can anyone tell me how a foreign government has standing to issue an amicus curae brief in a US court case? This is nutz......
City of Phoenix get out your checkbook.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything about the Judges ruling on this case? The hearing was Thursday but I’ve found absolutely nothing of substance regarding the Judges decision.
I suppose we're supposed to feel sorry for Mexico because all these people will be surging back. But no sympathy for Americans when they surged in here in the first place! Americans are supposed to cheer and celebrate and welcome them with open arms, but Mexico is to be pitied when they go back?
I'm confused.
What a concept!
A country taking care of its own people first.
Without dumping them on a neighboring country.
Lost in the entire discussion is, if they came legally, observed all laws, paid all their taxes and, well, participated in the host country, who would notice?
The USA is a strange "racist" country.
They also check your papers if they pinch you, or if you are a witness to a crime. The Mexican law is identical to the Arizona statute. Hypocrites.
OTOH, Mexico won't put up with "illegal migrants". Mexico deports them back to Guatemala or Honduras ASAP. They're not supid like us.
I'm in the same position.
Let me poke around...
Calderon: “This law is racist. I want all of my countrymen who are in the U.S. to stay. But keep sending the money!”
