"the Vienna Convention was violated when her client was not put in touch with the Mexican Consulate"
Illegal Mexicans are invoking the legal concept of extraterritoriality, that they are not subject to our laws.
The illegals want all the benefits of being here, but not of the responsibilities. Sort of like Shanghai and Hong Kong in the 1920s when foreigners had their own laws and courts so Chinese law did not affect them while in China. Modern China recalls this as foreign oppression.
extraterritoriality, privilege of immunity from local law enforcement enjoyed by certain aliens. Although physically present upon the territory of a foreign nation, those aliens possessing extraterritoriality are considered by customary international law or treaty to be under the legal jurisdiction of their home country. Generally such persons are exempt from both civil and criminal action; they may not be sued or arrested. Their property and residences are inviolable, and they are usually exempt from both personal and property taxes.
Oh, like diplomatic immunity.
Yes, I'd like to place an order.
20 million blue helments please.
Sort of like Shanghai and Hong Kong in the 1920s when foreigners had their own laws and courts so Chinese law did not affect them while in China. Modern China recalls this as foreign oppression.Good analogy. The difference here being that the oppressors in this case are supported by an army of domestic traitors, including the ACLU, which believes that the only good law is an foreign law.
That kind of ends the 'anchor baby' nonsense, then, doesn't it?
