MEXICO CITY - Mexico may turn to international courts in an effort to block a new Arizona law limiting services to illegal immigrants, Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said Wednesday. He said in a radio interview that Mexico might take such a step after it has exhausted all possibilities under U.S. law to halt Proposition 200. "We are seeking all the legal opportunities that exist, first using the legal capacities of the United States itself and ... if that does not work, bringing it to international tribunals," Derbez said. advertisement He did not specify to which international bodies Mexico could appeal. Mexico's Foreign Department and lawmakers have repeatedly complained about Proposition 200, which voters approved in November. The measure requires proof of citizenship to vote and proof of immigration status to receive some government benefits. Derbez said the government already has made a verbal protest to the United States and now will file a written protest at the request of Mexican lawmakers. He did not say when it would be issued. He expressed regret that, according to polls, about 40 percent of Mexican-Americans in Arizona had supported the measure. "It's sad and it gives an idea of how we have to work to educate even our own Mexican-Americans about why it is important that these proposals are not accepted," Derbez said. In December, the Foreign Department issued a statement expressing "complete rejection" of the proposition, calling it "a measure that could generate actions of discrimination based on ethnic profile."

This is pure Bull$hit!
The main problem is we have an entity known as our fedgov that is technically bankrupt which is doing all it can to bring people into this country that can't speak the language, have no skills and many are totally dependent on gov't. services.......what's going to happen when the inevitable day arrives that the checks stop coming to these people??? (Hint: it ain't gonna be pretty)
I think they should show up on his lawn at the ranch and have a chat with him. He is their best bud right now. Why should we have to deal with the illegals by ourselves. They are his guests.
Don't hold your breath.
" Mexico needs to get a clue, and GW Bush needs to give them one. Soon."
Don't hold your breath! Bush's supporters want the illegals here and are happy to sell out our security to do it while handing us the bill.
At first glance, one would ask why Mexico City or any other Latin capital cares about illegal alien laws in another country. The reason is economics. These nationals sneek into America, find a job (even ones that pay under the table) and then send American dollars back home. The tremendous flow of cash south actually plays a significant role in proping up Latin American economies. If the economy is steady, then the masses are happy and the educated elite (which comprises no more than 10% of the population) retains its stranglehold on power.
According to Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez, your friends need to be re-educated.
Not to mention the hypocracy of them pursuing legal means to permit illegal behavior!
And if THAT doesn't, work, Derbez advocates invading the U.S. outright while ignoring the severely undermanned BP agent stationed along the 1000 mile border...
Nevermind, THAT plan has already been implimented.
Keep it up, Mexico. The more you show your arrogance, the more ticked off Americans will be, and the less inclined to tolerate the illegal refuse and criminals that you continually shove off on us.
I live in California. I've already got a pretty good idea.
To visit the area where I was born and grew up would require transport in an armord vehicle.
How many divisions do they command?
Tell that to Sandra Dee and the Supremes. They don't think so.
