Federal Judge Allows Mexico to Have a Voice in Arizona Immigration Lawsuit
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, July 1, 2010, 9:08 PM
This is insane…
A federal judge allowed Mexico to have a voice in the Arizona Immigration Lawsuit today.
KOLD reported, via Free Republic:
Mexico gets to have a say in 1 of the lawsuits challenging Arizona’s immigration enforcement law.
A federal judge on Thursday granted Mexico’s request to be allowed to file a legal brief supporting the challenge. That means the judge will consider the brief Mexico submitted previously.
Mexico says it wants to defend its citizens’ rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling and hinder trade and tourism. It also says the law would hinder work against drug trafficking and related violence.
The law’s provisions include a requirement that police enforcing another law ask people about their immigration status if there’s a “reasonable suspicion” they’re in the country illegally.
The law takes effect July 29 unless blocked by a court.

How much do you want to bet he finds this constitutional bill unconstitutional. Mexico is to have a say on a bill passed in the State of Arizona, is this judge on crack, or just plain stupid.
Logus commented:
Considering that our courts have had a history of ignoring the Constitution, often contradicting the Constitution, I would not be surprised at all if Arizona’s law is blocked and worse, struck down.
Obama’s speech, while on occassion reaching out to those of us who’re for a secure border and following the law, was another failure. Nothing but shamwow platitudes.

Logus—- and don’t forget that the boarder is more secure now than in the last twenty years. Hey Obama come down and actually take a look you insipid pos.

This is a reason why it’s so important to fight against every leftist (federal) judge’s appointment. Why aren’t the GOP leaders fighting Kagan?

Somewhere along the way, would it be possible to impeach Obama for not upholding his oath of office?
Auntie Em commented:
This is starting to get comical. It’s is so bad we are unable to try the man. In another time, Obama would already be pushing up daisy via the gallows.
jainphx commented:
Hypothetically speaking, if he was to be proved to not be legally in office, then we could do something fast, but our own side for some reason is hindering us.
down with dems commented:
The US had better sue Mexico over Mexico’s illegal immigrant policy, because it is blatantly and unabashedly discriminatory, persecuting immigrants if they disrupt the racial balance of the population.
Mexico is trying to protect its illegal (and legal) Mexican immigrants in the United States… however the United States government just ceded part of Arizona to Mexican drug gangs and won’t do anything to protect American citizens inside the borders of the United States. There’s something very wrong with this picture.
Barack Obama is the king of reverse discrimination.
down with dems commented:
It won’t be possible to get enough votes in the Senate for an impeachment conviction (even if the impeachment charge were to pass in the House) until after at least 2 election cycles. Hopefully after the next 2 elections, Obama will have lost his bid for re-election and it will be moot. If not, then game on.
Moonbeam commented:
Obaminators time is up..
Allowing the New Black Panthers to go free..making Arizona “The Enemy” plus countless other destruction tactics on America will now force the Military to remove him and the entire Democatic Party.
This is why we have had the False Flag event “Oil on the coast”. Did you know that rig was leaking back in February?
Complete and udder distraction is the path this monster is on.
He will be stopped. We will have a Civil War. So Ready up.
mark commented:
Hey. Any Constitutional lawyers out there?
What does the 11th amendment to the Constitution mean (below) for Mexico’s participation in this legal challenge?
———————————–
11th Immunity of states from suits from out-of-state citizens and foreigners not living within the state borders. Lays the foundation for sovereign immunity.
Sandy commented:
If Mexico is so concerned about their citizens treatment in our country. Then why not treat them better instead of shipping them over here? Funny, but Mexico itself has stringent immigration policies — so they have no business insinuating themselves in ours.
A town in Texas which is separated from Mexico by a small river had gun shots fired into its courthouse. To hell with what Mexico thinks — we need to control our borders.

Before it seemed more like an ironic joke, but NOW we’re technically a schizophrenic country. I guess that’s ok.. we can just be on that new international disability program they just started. I heard North Korea has an understanding leader that will send us minimal funds to get by till we’re back on our feet again.

The racist regime is in full swing. The Feds are now going after hikers crossing the CANADIAN border! This just in, in the Seattle Times: “Feds warn Pacific Crest Trail hikers about crossing border” http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2012259887_pcthikers02.html
And just who are these hikers? White, probably law-abiding, non-illegal aliens. The Hussein regime is instigating really serious race-bating.

Oh come on now guys! America is too big to fail.
Forget about the Roman Empire, the British Empire, the Spanish Empire, etc. America will never fail.
The courts and the politicians are dismantling America, trying to enslave her people and weaken her on all level, so what? Big freaking deal.
America is too big to fail. Just wait and see.
In the meantime, there is a lot of desert sand in the African Sahara, those of us who don’t like what they are seeing now and do anything about it (like a Second Revolution!!), can go there and hide their heads in the sand because it’s going to get worse in this freaking country!

From your article:
For the first time, Pacific Crest Trail hikers are being warned that people who hike across the border from Canada into the United States are committing a federal crime, and risking a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
and
Danielle Suarez, Border Patrol spokeswoman in Spokane, said the letter is an effort to educate hikers that everyone entering the United States must go to a designated port of entry — even hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Therefore, under equal protection of the law, hikers crossing the border from Mexico into the United States are committing a federal crime, and risking a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
and
Everyone entering the United States must go to a designated port of entry — even hikers from Mexico.
So, the lawsuit is on behalf of criminals, as based on the federal government’s own communications.
Case dismissed.
A_Nonny_Mouse commented:
It’s my understanding Mexico is filing an “amicus curiae” (friend of the court) brief, which the judge may at his/her discretion refer to for an understanding of the impact of circumstances surrounding the matter being adjudicated.
At this point, I don’t think we have a foreign nation bringing suit against one of our states — not just yet, anyway. (Although I wouldn’t put it past this “Gee, we LIKE the idea of World Governance” Administration.)

Obama praises Bush — really — on immigration
Obama — who has been criticized by conservatives for “blaming” all sorts of problems on President George W. Bush — had nothing but praise for his successor today on the immigration issue.
The current president lamented the fact that in past years Congress has failed to come up with a new immigration plan, “despite the courageous leadership in the past shown by many Democrats and some Republicans — including, by the way, my predecessor, President Bush.”

I despise both bush and obama and any politician pandering to the illegals. I am a legal American of mexican descent and both those imbeciles have their allegiance to Mexico. Im glad I never voted for bush ( I decided not to register to vote) and never thought of voting for obama.Instead I voted for the lesser of two evil Mccain/palin but to be honest both are also in favour of the amnesty disaster.
Oh and obama says the border is safe
Look what they found near the Texas and Mexico border

Sorry.
materialist commented:
Like A Nonny Mouse I think the concern here may be overblown. All the judge apparently agreed to do was to read a legal brief from the Mexicans. That may be a simple act of courtesy on the judge’s part, that is in no way a deference to foreign law.
Of course, we do need to be vigilant since there are those (are you reading, Arizona’s own Sandra Day O’Connor?) who have taken a position, anathema to most of us, that foreign laws and foreign precedent should be considered.
If that is what this judge has in mind, pitchforks, tar and feathers are in order. But if the judge is simply agreeing to read the sincere opinion of a party that is legitimately concerned, I see courtesy rater than treason.
We need more information.

To further contrast what’s going on at the northern border as opposed to the southern border, the Canadian hikers being hikers, they most likely intend to hike their way back home to Canada. In other words, they ain’t coming here to live; they’re just out walking.

Perhaps you and A Nonny Mouse are right. Perhaps, even, the judge is only allowing the brief to be filed because s/he doesn’t want to unnecessarily tick off those against AZ, particularly the illegal Mexicans in AZ, when it’s just as easy to allow the brief to be filed and then disregard its contents.
I’d like to believe that’s the case but after Oilbama allowing Mexican President Cow-drone to speak against AZ on the White House lawn and then Oilbama and the Demonrats standing and applauding Mexico’s president’s anti-Arizona speech, well, it’s difficult to think this is anything except more coddling of Mexico and Mexican illegals as well as more anti-AZ BS.
AuntieMadder commented:
Mexico says it wants to defend its citizens’ rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling and hinder trade and tourism.
Tourism? Via Arizona? Is that Arizonan tourists visiting Mexico or Mexican tourists in AZ? Oh! I get it! “Tourists” is what Arizonans are supposed to start calling the illegals living in their state.
It also says the law would hinder work against drug trafficking and related violence.
Right. Sure. wink wink nudge nudge Surely, no one would ever wonder if Mexico’s officials and Mexican law enforcement don’t actually work to help drug trafficking and aren’t actually the cause of at least some of the violence. No, not them. Everyone knows they’re stand up guys and gals, pillars of the global community, righteous men and women. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Let’s say I’m in AZ and speak English with a clear foreign accent (like I sometimes do on purpose) and a black officer asks me about my immigration status and for my ID… Can I scream “RACISM!” then?
Oh wait, I can’t. I’m white.

Serious question: Are we in end times?
Answer: Yes.
1. Save seeds.
2. Learn to grow food.
3. Learn to can.
4. Save glass jars (for canning/storing food) and other implements for storing water.

Why the Mexican gvt doesn’t defend the right of mexican citizens and give them job opportunities while they are still in mexico, so they don’t have to come illegally to another country?Ask the Mexicans how they handle the illegal Guatemalans
in Mexico. Is the judge aware of the answer?
Why in the world would a American judge allow another country to have anything to say in our affairs?Is the judge an American? I really doubt it.
Stupidity is a curse…
Lynn commented:
Since when does a nation, ANY nation, have any say or recourse in US immigration laws?? This judge needs to be disbarred. Mexico wants to protect the rights of THEIR citizens that are residing illegally in the US???? Unfreaking real.

Time will tell. I may be naive to give the court the benefit of the doubt, given recent history but one can always hope … Surely they aren’t all bad.
ArizonaBill commented:
I wonder if Mexico would let us file a law suit or have a voice in law suit, in all the civil rights violations that go on in their croupt little Country ?
And why don’t we ever see all these Hispanic’s that want to protest Arizona and America’s Anti-Illegal alien Laws ever protesting about all the civil rights violations in Mexico ?
I guess because they are truly just Anti-America, and really not even concerned about human rights especially the human rights of their own people in their own Country of Mexico.
Seems all they really care about is right of Illegals to invade a Country and deny that Country’s people their right of Sovereignty of their own Country.
“ArizonaBill”
bill-tb commented:
America, you need a reset button. And that includes all 57 States as well.
Freddy commented:
Seems to me that ANY brief would need to be addressed by the oposite party. This will mean that Arizona has to now prepare responses to that brief.
Looks to me that the acceptance of this brief by this judge should be appealed by Arizona.
Is this an IMPARTIAL judge or does this judge have an AGENDA in this case? In my opinion, accepting evidence from a foreign government in this case leaves his integrity in question.
Ginger commented:
Remember the Chicago way… Pay to play.
I wonder who on the US side wrote the “friend of the court brief” for Mexico???? Maybe the judges bank account will also grow!
Come on REPUBLICAN senators, congress, governors, judges, etc, get fired up! Show us that you are here to defend us! Where’s our leaders past and present that is going to defend us against this corruption?
I have always told my children and grand children to stand up to a bully!
Ginger commented:
I wonder just how many mexicans here are really LEGAL? Just because they have been here 10, 20, 30, years does not make them legal!
KR commented:
AZ should just adopt Mexico’s more strict immigration laws.
Could Mexico sue against it’s own laws enforced in AZ?
Oh, wait,… the US Feds are suing AZ for near identical Fed laws being enforced…

“Mexico says it wants to defend its citizens’ rights ” Well if they are citizens of mexico wtf are they doing here!!!!

#41 Right now this is what is going on all over the world. Invasions from third world countries everywhere. It just goes to show that Mexico is totally corrupt. All the oil they sell and their economy is still in the toilet. I’ll bet their politicians are wealthy though just like ours are.
