Mexico has jumped on the surreal bandwagon and is suing Arizona over their decision to enforce federal immigration law.
Mexico on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state’s new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country’s own interests and its citizens’ rights are at stake.
Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.
But Mexico said it has a legitimate interest in defending its citizens’ rights and that Arizona’s law would lead to racial profiling, hinder trade and tourism, and strain the countries’ work on combating drug trafficking and related violence.
Unconstitutional? I don’t think so. Mexico is riding the current wave of federal ill will toward Arizona, hoping to help push for the amnesty obama so clearly wants. There’s a growing opinion that the emperor will grant amnesty with a flourish of his pen set to the ‘comprehensive immigration reform’ bill using only executive order.
At least eight U.S. Senators believe that Obama is preparing to order DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide a defacto amnesty, through the use of massive deferred action or parole for the millions of illegal aliens now living inside our borders.

They do not have the standing to sue. They have to file it in the Supreme Court per the Constitution.

I believe it; the entire thing is patently ridiculous. Another country suing one of our states for upholding the law defies logic!

can we make it ’til nov…

Yes, we can!

I’m no expert on federal law but does not the Justice Dept. Have to defend a State in a lawsuit by a foreign country? Isn’t that one of the responsibilities of the Federal Government?

I believe you’re right… but frankly my overwhelming ignorance expands to include the inner workings of our justice department.

I can’t wait until the Supreme Court gets involved with this one. Even with it’s current crop of judges, I have the feeling both Obama and Mexico are going to be very, very disappointed in their rulings.

Crossing my fingers! And praying!

I need the foil in addition to the cone and meter. It’s the only protection against this insanity.
June 24th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Oh, okay. You go, girl!
June 24th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
You’ve got to be kidding me!
Seriously? 
So does this mean that I can sue Mexico for the Montezuma’s Revenge enacted on millions of American Citizen unnecessarily?! 
I mean, the locals don’t get it, mainly tourists. So wouldn’t that fall under “profiling” then? 
Gad…can’t wait for November. My first meeting as a poll worker is coming up in just a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to be on the front line for this change!
YES WE CAN indeed…and this time, the right way! Go Arizona, I’ve got your back!

Go, Lee Ann!!

They’ll be suing more states as they pass the same sort of legislation, I guess…
Idiots.

The Great One, being the great lawyer that he is, probably whispered the sweet words in the trolls ear during a late night cuddle session in the Lincoln bedroom. (Now we know where the flies came from!)
Imagine the great one’s surprise when he’ll actually have to have “his” government defend the country he works for.

I have to go wash out my mind with battery acid.

Uh, Are the people in Mexico dumb or just suffering from mental illness?
I hope Mexico does sue and suffers a major defeat. I also hope that Arizona counter sues and wins all the costs from illegal immigration.
No wonder why Mexico is a crime ridden third world slum. The people are dumb, are corrupt, have backwards logic, lack ethics, and are absolutely shameless.
God, save America since this is the fast growing demographic group in the country.
