PHOENIX — Two more Latin American countries added their own objections Tuesday to Arizona's new immigration law.
In legal papers filed in federal court, Luis Gallegos, the ambassador to the United States from Ecuador, said his country wants to join Mexico in the fight to convince U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton to block the state from enforcing the law.
“Similar to Mexico, Ecuador has a substantial and compelling interest in ensuring that its bilateral diplomatic relations with the government of the United States of America are transparent, consistent and reliable, and not frustrated by the actions of individual U.S. states, in this case, Arizona,” Gallegos wrote. He said SB 1070 “raises substantial challenges” to relations between the two countries.
Gallegos also echoed the fears expressed by Mexico that the Arizona law will affect its citizens.
“Ecuador has a substantial and compelling interest to ensure that its citizens are accorded human and civil rights when present in the United States in accordance with federal immigration law,” he wrote. “Ecuador is gravely concerned that SB 1070 will lead to racial profiling and disparate treatment of its nationals.”
A virtually identical brief was filed Tuesday by Jose Perez Gabilondo, charge d’affairs in Washington for Argentina.
Gov. Jan Brewer said both diplomats are wrong, both on the issue of racial profiling and the question of Arizona interfering with international relations. And she said both objections ignore the issues and problems of illegal immigration.
“The bottom line is America and Arizona live by laws,” she said. Brewer said SB 1070 mirrors federal immigration laws, giving state and local police tools to enforce them.
“We will continue to live by those laws,” she said.
The new legal filings were made in connection with the challenge to the law filed by attorneys for three civil rights organizations.
You don't like it? Tough! Go pound sand and bark at the moon!
But we don't so they'll probably be invited to join the lawsuit the administration is mounting.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell ya! The dress-stainer's legacy lives on!
How do you say, “Go F*ck Yoursef” in Spanish?
***** what these ass*** think
Mine the damn border
An entire anti-American administration is behind this. They have no love for this nation. They loathe the achievements and history of this nation. Thanks to all the idiots who voted for “change” peddled by a moron who can barely read a teleprompter.
Please don’t say that. As the USSR and Nazi Germany showed, it can ALWAYS get much, much worse.
He is hard it get rid of.Like a stained dress
We will treat illegal immigrants from say Ecuador the same way they would treat Americans entering illegally.
Hey, the survival and success of liberty IS my business.
What? Oh, you were talking about the two sh*tholes described in the article?
Never mind. :-)
However the U.S. Government has recently began to alienate our rights..
The democrat and sometimes the republican parties see their job as alienating our rights..
It all started when the States became provinces instead of sovereign States.. (civil war)
HOW do you alienate RIGHTS?...
Answer; by making them permissions.. grants.. granted by Gov't not God.. Which exactly WHY?.. progressives HATE God..
How I would like to reduce these tin horn latin dumps to the condition they deserve. The Spaniards understood how to deal with them.
Hi, Silvie. You might be able to answer this one.
This is going to get dragged into the World Court before we’re done with it. International law is creeping into our courts.
Thanks the drooling bastards who suckle at the teat of the State. Every half-wit who voted for Obama did this to you, your family, your town, your state, and your nation. Hope and change, indeed.
. “Ecuador is gravely concerned that SB 1070 will lead to racial profiling “
YOU LIE!
Vete pa’l carajo = Go to hell
Chingate tu = Go f*ck yourself
Cabron = A**hole
Care to put a number of what "absolutely collapse" means?
Well, the law-abiding citizens of the U.S. certainly hope so.
Just out of curiosity, do we object formally to portions of their internal state laws that we find objectionable?
Somehow, I doubt it.
