Mexico gets to have a say in 1 of the lawsuits challenging Arizona's immigration enforcement law.

A federal judge on Thursday granted Mexico's request to be allowed to file a legal brief supporting the challenge. That means the judge will consider the brief Mexico submitted previously.

Since when is MEXICO part of the United States?

They have NO legal standing in a US court.Has this so called judge lost his mind along with Nancy and Zero?

[Dallas59]

Will this open a flood gate for other countries to file suit against AMERICAN laws?

Since “Family Values Don’t Stop At The Rio Grande” I suppose.

The judge is Susan Bolten, a liberal jurist who has now doomed this particular lawsuit on appeal (if she rules against the state).AWB

This is not particularly unusual. Look at the amicus briefs filed when the SCOTUS hears a case on a broad issue, like a takings issue (Kelo) or the recent 2nd Amendment case involving Chicago's gun ban. When such a high profile issue makes it the the Supreme Court, everyone and their uncle files an amicus brief (friend of the court brief) to attempt to persuade the court to view the case in one perspective or another. If you follow the Supreme Court you'll realize that most often, such briefs are not even read. It becomes more of a publicity stunt for the schmuck who can now issue a press release stating "I just filed an amicus brief in Smith v. Jones!"

I would expect that you will see briefs filed by MALDEF, NAACP, ACLU, etc, in such a matter. Whether the Judge bothers to read them is up to him. So, saying that they "have a voice" or "have a say" in the case is a bit of an exaggeration.

So does this mean that we can sue Mexico for telling their people how to break the law and sneak into America?

YOU GOTTA TO BE FREAKIN JOKING!! This country is so far gone...Pray for our survival!

This is the perfect opportunity to advertise Mexican immigration law—PAID ADS NATIONALLY, WITH THE MEXICAN LAW READING OUT ON THE SCREEN. What a bunch of crap this is. Let’s let common sense be heard!

the hypocrisy, OH, THE HYPOCRISY!!!!!!!!!!

[Rusty0604]

I think a citizen of US should apply to live in Mexico, be denied, and sue. Their immigration laws are stricter than ours.

Heck ILLEGALS are more than happy to come and share their dysfunctional family values here. The problem is they CLASH with out Judeo Christian family values - so keep them in Mexico!

FU*K Judge Susan Bolten and Mexico too.

Tell me about it. I live in southern California.

“so keep them in Mexico!”

The law says they should be deported. Good luck finding a President who will respect that law. The last one who did was Dwight Eisenhower who deported a few million illegals back to Mexico in Operation Wetback.

The precedent is set for the Vatican to weigh in on abortion-related lawsuits. The libs may soon regret this...

Not in Mexican courts. No reciprocity.

[EternalVigilance]

I wonder what James K. Polk would have to say about this...
