| Mexico asks U.S. federal court to halt AZ immigration law |
| 2010-06-23 |
| PHOENIX, Arizona - 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. Messico has standing to sue against enforcement of our laws? When did that start? Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect June 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court. Share The law generally requires police investigating another incident or crime to ask people about their immigration status if there's a "reasonable suspicion" they're in the country illegally. It also makes being in Arizona illegally a misdemeanor, and it prohibits seeking day-labor work along the state's streets. Citing "grave concerns," Mexico said its interest in having predictable, consistent relations with the United States shouldn't be frustrated by one U.S. state. Mexico also said it has a legitimate interest in defending its citizens' rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling, hinder trade and tourism, and strain the countries' work on combatting drug trafficking and related violence. "Mexican citizens will be afraid to visit Arizona for work or pleasure out of concern that they will be subject to unlawful police scrutiny and detention," the brief said. |

| #22 borgboy, ah yes....the emphasis on going as fair skinned as possible has some weird ways of expression. My favorite is that having illegitimate kids is ok only if they are blond. My mother found that one out back in the 70's, when she checked out Acapulco with me & my brother....and without our dad, because he was sick back in the hotel.... ;) |

| #20 Procopius 2k: Here in Tucson I've many times heard your words repeated by fully assimilated (albeit usually fair skinned) Mexican-Americans. They are realists and opponents of "LaRaza" type movements: they and WE should realize the depths of racism inherent in Mexican culture. Families teach their children to "lighten up" the family by favoring the fair-skinned for marriage. This "culture" has been transferred to the USA - I've heard and seen it first hand in my wife's extended family... Gringo y Guero Borgboy ______________________ p.s. and OT: it is common knowledge in Mexico Lindo that Judios (Jews) read and study only the Koran (!!!) I've been told that by many on both sides of the border - including my wife's Tia (Aunt). Que barbaro! |

| #19 Apparently Mexico needs a convenient nearby place to dump excess population. The purer Spanish blood ruling caste has been doing it since the Reagan amnesty in the 80s, dumping mestizos y indios rather than reform their social economic system and trying to avoid revolution. It's been racial/ethnic cleansing assisted by the usual suspects north of the border who are the first to scream racism about the Arizona law. |

| #18 "How 'bout a 25% Arizona state tax on money wired to Mexico?" Howzabout 100%, DMFD? Or maybe 110%, to help pay the state back all the money spent on illegal aliens? Oh, and just to make it fair, slap the same 100% tax on money wired to Chavez-land, Pakistan, Turkey, etc. |

| #13 They should scrap the current immigration bill and substitute the exact language of the Mexican law. They can even leave it in Spanish to make sure Mexico gets the point. |

| #12 Arizona should pass a law that for every illegal they find inside of their state, they will annex 10 square miles of mexican land, which will NEVER be returned. |

| #11 I read that the US is experimenting with a "pain ray" in Afghanistan, a non-leathal system that apparently causes intense pain but no permanent damage. Gee, imaghine a chain of them across the US Mexico Border. What are the odds that might happen? |

| #10 I'd suggest Arizona immediately sue Mexico to nullify the anti-foreigner part of their constitution, specifically "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action." Goose - gander. Chutzpah indeed. |

| #8 Meanwhile, already in a bad mood, the AZ legislature contemplates a resolution to declare war against Mexico. LOL. It would send a strong message. Mexico shouldn't meddle in our affairs. They have plenty of their own problems which they are not addressing. So screw them. |

| #6 Thought an article couple weeks ago about putting land mines across along the border in place of a fence was over the top. Now that the Meskin Government is opening up on AZ, I am starting to think that would not be such a bad idea, for starters. |

| #4 Mexican Constitution - Chapter III Foreigners Article 33. Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action. Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country. |
