In a legal brief supporting one of the lawsuits, Mexico argued that the measure is unconstitutional and “raises substantial challenges to the bilateral diplomatic relations between Mexico and the U.S.”

Yeah, ever since the late in Bush’s second term we have done everything except sign articles of surrender to Mexico and it continues.
I will never visit or knowingly give a penny to Mexico.
Mexico will sue Arizona for not being Mexico?!

YOu ask them for their papers. Visas, passports, whatever. Normal stuff. Happens in other countries all the time.
By their passport being stamped and their ID having been noted by immigration authorities. It’s on record if you came here legally.
“and the government is worried Mexicans will be discriminated against because of racial profiling”
‘mexican’ is not a race
Won’t be long, Mexico will sue Texas over the Alamo......
I guess we don’t need a federal union or a constitution anymore.
Can you blame Mexico? culturally they don’t understand that in the US a cop may question you but they wont arrest you if you’re not doing anything illegal.
In Mexico they might throw a gringo in the joint for not paying an officer off for having plates from a US state on your car..
Mexico’s just PO’d the Arizona law will hurt their primary export business — their own people.
I don’t believe Mexico is part of the United States. Therfore they have no standing. Throw the law suit out!
As folks say here in Texas, "Who the he## left that da#ned gate open!?!"
Can I sue Mexico for sending their parasitic crapweasels here?
AZ should counter sue Mexico..for the $$$$$$$$$$ it costs to track and house the citizens of Mexico who are here unlawfully.
Be careful AZ!
