Sure sure. Happens every day. Just like when Saudi Arabia and Iran submitted briefs on gay marriage.
I am almost speechless with rage over the 9th Circuit Court allowing foreign countries to file briefs in the Arizona immigration case. But I am almost as angry at the sound of silence coming from our GOP leadership. Where are these stalwart champions of the Constitution? Hiding under their desks as usual. Waiting to see how the wind is blowing.
..since the second largest money maker in Mexico is cash from the US, oil is first, what do you expect.
Why?
Because the well entrenched global government of these blokes . . .

is eager to shoe-horn it’s way more overtly onto the world stage.
Why are the citizens of these foreign nations coming here illegally? Because they can’t find opportunity at home? Why is that? And why is the United States obligated to support these people?

...Concern has also grown about the treatment of migrants crossing Africa in some African countries, as well as for Latin American migrants trying to enter the United States through Mexico.
Asked about Arizona’s new immigration law, which allows local police to question and detain anyone they believe may be an illegal entrant, Pillay said it was “topical.”
“The stopping and searching of individuals we have said is discriminatory and can lead to prejudices and xenophobia,” she added.
The UN Human Rights Council on Thursday adopted a resolution brought by Latin American countries calling for more respect for migrants’ rights and expressing concern at the growing flow of migrants travelling without identity documents.
The resolution was accepted by a consensus of the 47 member states.
“It’s well known that restrictive migration policies do not prevent illegal immigration but have led to greater vulnerability for irregular migrants, who are increasingly threatened by transnational criminal gangs,” Mexico’s ambassador Juan Jose Gomez Camacho said.
The resolution also called on the international community, especially destination countries, to ratify the 2003 International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers.
The UN treaty, which advocates equal treatment for migrant workers and their families in host countries, has not been signed by any major Western country so far.

Please note that last line. Any standing the Cartagena group has is based on their own hot air.
Fight on, Arizona.
What I don’t get is why Arizona did not take the matter straight to the Supreme Court. Article III Section 2 give SCOTUS original jurisdiction in any case to which a state may be party.
