Mexico asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's immigration law unconstitutional, because "the country's own interests and its citizens' rights are at stake."
[Snip] Mexico also said it has a legitimate interest in defending its citizens' rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling, hinder trade and tourism, and strain the countries' work on combatting drug trafficking and related violence. [Snip]

Will some smart FReeper lawyer please explain HOW the country of Mexico has ‘standing’ in this?
Why does Mexico get to ask our courts to do such a thing?
Arizona ought to counter-sue Mexico for all the expenses associated with the illegal aliens.
Sometimes there aren’t enough words to express the absurdity.
MY guess is: Mexico does not want these people either. They are poor and a drag/threat to Mexico. Too bad the US govt does not come to the same conclusion.
And Mexico treats its illegal immigrants any better? “In border, we are asking, ‘Who are you?’” as President Calderon said on CNN
Okay, let’s try the same thing in a Mexican court regarding their immigration law and see how that works.
>”Arizona ought to counter-sue Mexico for all the expenses associated with the illegal aliens.”
Yup, and also something like Aiding and Abetting the invasion of a sovereign nation.
You don’t need standing to file an amicus brief (I’m not a lawyer).
Perhaps, but I have three that might come close - WTF?
It scares me to think of how utterly FUBAR someone has to be in order to be a "drag/threat" to Mexico!
yeah.. what standing does Mexico have? this is illegal!
Some people have referred to the illegal imigration issue as "Mexico outsourcing its welfare system to the US."
Apparently Mexico thinks their citizens have a “right” to come here illegally, gain illegal employment, and be free from any sort of State activity to determine that they are here illegally.
They keep this up and they are going to become the most hated people in this country. Already you see the effects, nobody with two brain cells will hire them and now people are walking into a business and if they hear "spanish" being spoken will turn around and walk right back out.
But it is so hot there , and I was never comfortable with their flag , kinda japanish , considering The USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor and all ./sarc
Well, by disallowing the American people the standing necessary to require the president to establish his natural born status, a giant, negative sucking void was imploded into the time/space continuum which created an intense pressure that needed to be filled by a huge, counterbalancing positive violation of American constitutional jurisprudence that only something the size of, say, Mexico could fill.
So, like, we should be thankful for their help in positively raping our law, to protect us from the destruction Obama's negative rape would otherwise inflict on us.
Yeah, that's it.
- President Calderon -
Of course American CITIZENS are NOT permitted to make certain Hussein is actually allowed to be president. But Mexico suing a STATE in US court...why that’s just FINE!!!!
