MEXICO CITY — The Mexican government says it's disappointed that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld part of an Arizona law requiring police check the immigration status of anyone they stop.
The Mexican government has openly opposed Arizona's immigration law since it was passed in 2010. The statement said enforcing parts of the law that were upheld by the Supreme Court would lead to violations of the civil rights of Mexicans living in or visiting Arizona. It says the law doesn't recognize the many contributions immigrants make to their communities.
Mexico filed a "friend of the court" brief challenging the law in the Supreme Court case.

Why don’t this Azzhole clean up his own country and maybe people would love to stay home. Sheesh!
>> would lead to violations of the civil rights of Mexicans living in or visiting Arizona.<<
Mexico, don’t take chances. Come to AZ and get your citizens. We’ll even chip in to pay for the transport.
They should withdraw their citizens in protest.
Obviously, that part of the ruling was correct, cosmically as well as natrually. Poor poor Mexico. Can’t shuffle off their excess on us.
Mexico wants us to think of them as just ordinary white folks ~ no different ~ so why would we want to ask them for their IDs.
Yet not a peep out of Mexico about the Obama/Holder Fast & Furious op that murdered hundreds of Mexicans. Selective outrage.
Mexican govt should be arrested for dumping garbage and littering in Arizona.
What a dip-shite of a leader. He’s worthless to the people of Mexico.
Clean up your country. Get some Capitalization going. Has always worked better then anything else.
Working people are happy people.
I am sure Marco “La Raza” Rubio will kiss and make Mexico feel better...
What a craphole country you are if you are so worried about immigration policies of the nation you are deporting your people to. Mexico is a 3d World Latrine Pit
maybe we should model our law after theirs then...
Boo flipping hoo. Nothing but cockroaches.
Response: This statement reflects the prevailing sophistry. The issue is NOT "civil rights"( A Mexican has a few "civil rights;"i.e. a Mexican can sue and be sued in our courts, can buy and sell property, though he cannot possess a gun etc.) but political rights. The Mexican has NO political rights in the United States; he cannot even be within U. S. borders absent written permission by a lawful U. S. Representative; he cannot vote, sit on a jury; hold public office etc.
"Civil rights" is always brought up due to its image inducing value of "equality," "The Black Struggle," and other such emotive language.
I think it means that this is the first shot at jeopardizing the $13 billion U.S. dollars in remittances leaving our hallowed halls to Mexico by the illegals. Remittances are second only to Pemex income to the State of Mexico. It’s major. sd
Of course, the Federales check the immigration status of anybody they stop, but that's different.
F%#k mexico.
Good enough?

Cry me a river...
I lament Mexico being the ***hole of the planet which causes Mexicans to die in the desert trying to get out of that hellhole.
If “Fast and Furious” had been for the Mexican people to take out their “leadership” and begin anew....I MAY have been for it!

Mexico is nothing more than a Spanish speaking version of Syria. Instead of Al-Qa’ida and Hamas wanting to cut off your head, it’s some wetback Zeta.
Remeber back a few years on CNN...BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?
CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually…
BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?
CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you?
And if they explain…
BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.
CALDERON: Yes.
BLITZER: But once they’re in…
CALDERON: But not — but not in — if — once they are inside the — inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is [not] a crime anymore in Mexico.
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.
Arizona’s policy, which Calderon derided on Wednesday as “discriminatory” and assailed again on Thursday, requires law enforcement to try to determine the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant — provided they are already in contact with that person. They can’t randomly stop people and demand papers and the law prohibits racial profiling.
The Mexican law also states that law enforcement officials are “required to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues.”
Invisible Victims: Migrants on the Move in Mexico, documents the alarming levels of abuse faced by the tens of thousands of Central American irregular migrants that every year attempt to reach the US by crossing Mexico.
“Migrants in Mexico are facing a major human rights crisis leaving them with virtually no access to justice, fearing reprisals and deportation if they complain of abuses,” said Rupert Knox, Mexico Researcher at Amnesty International.
“Persistent failure by the authorities to tackle abuses carried out against irregular migrants has made their journey through Mexico one of the most dangerous in the world.”

Mexico is not very worried about the civil rights of illegals when they are caught or passing through Mexico.Mexico is guilty of civil rights violations of illegals living in or visiting Mexico. Mexico laws doesn’t recognize the many contributions immigrants make to their communities.All Mexico cares about is Mexico. The uneducated lower class folks that have come here, are the ones Mexico doesn’t care about or want! Making Mexico take care of its own, is where the humanitarian focus should be
And I wish Mexico would explain to us Americans,... why isn’t it the responsibility of MEXICO,... to ensure these citizens a safe place to live, work & go to school?
and what do you suppose happens when Mexican LE stop someone/anyone for any reason??
Good point!
