Who gives a crap about what Mexico, Brazil, or Chile think about our constitutional process? Why in the world would any judge allow another country to weigh in on a U.S. state law and the decision of whether it is constitutional? This is just liberalism and "world view" run amok!
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.
If Mexico is so concerned with the rights of her citizens, they should concentrate on their own laws. Their illegal immigration laws are mush harsher than ours ever will be. As far as the Arizona law working against drug trafficking enforcement efforts; how does that work?
Until recently, Mexican law made illegal immigration a criminal offense -- anyone arrested for the violation could be fined, imprisoned for up to two years and deported. Mexican lawmakers changed that in 2008 to make illegal immigration a civil violation like it is in the United States, but their law still reads an awful lot like Arizona's.
Mexican law, however, requires law enforcement officials "to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues."
The DOJ of this administration is so far removed from anything resembling an actual Department of Justice, it is ridiculous. They are nothing more than a puppet organization.
