 PHOENIX A prosecutor seeking to convict dozens of illegal immigrants for illegally crossing into Arizona has accused the Mexican government of organizing legal efforts to dismantle a state law targeting immigrant smugglers. Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas says the Mexican government has arranged for a lawyer to challenge his legal opinion that illegal immigrants suspected of using smugglers to cross into the state can be charged as conspirators. The lawyer also argues that the state can't regulate immigration. Thomas has asked the U-S State Department to protest the Mexican government's alleged involvement in the case. A call to the office of the Carlos Flores Vizcarra, the Mexican consul general in Phoenix whom Thomas has accused of seeking to weaken the state law, wasn't immediately returned late this morning. Forty-eight illegal immigrants were charged as conspirators under the 9-month-old law.
