Unbelievable: Mexico Joins Lawsuit Against Arizona Immigration Law

They're nuts if they think that this sort of thing helps their cause of amnesty, and we're nuts for having a legal system that lets foreign governments sue one of our own states for laws that they pass.

Hot Air:

In a legal brief supporting one of the lawsuits, Mexico argued that the measure is unconstitutional and “raises substantial challenges to the bilateral diplomatic relations between Mexico and the U.S.”

More than 20 million Mexican workers, tourists and students were lawfully allowed into the United States throughout 2009, said the brief, and the government is worried Mexicans will be discriminated against because of racial profiling.

“Mexico is gravely concerned that (Arizona’s law) will lead to … detentions of Mexican citizens without regard to whether they have taken any actions or exhibited any behavior indicating they are guilty of a crime,” the brief said.
