Citing concerns for their citizens, sixteen nations from Latin America and the Caribbean have asked to join in the U.S. Justice Department's lawsuit against South Carolina's controversial law that aims to curb the number of undocumented immigrants in the state.
Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile and other countries filed papers Tuesday, asking to join the Justice Department's litigation in Charleston.
The law would require law officers who make a traffic stop to call federal immigration officials if they suspect someone is in the country illegally. Opponents say the measure would encourage racial profiling.
The 16 nations state in their filings that the law would lead to state-sanctioned discrimination against their citizens.
Justice Department lawyers are asking the court to stop the law from taking effect in January, saying immigration policy is solely the domain of the U.S. government.
This is not the first time that government's of Latin America have raised concerns about the immigration polices in certain U.S. states. In June of last year Mexico asked a U.S. federal court to declare Arizona's immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country's own interests and its citizens' rights were at stake.

ONE World Government....now you see where it is going? Discrimination is a world wide “opportunity” to steal our assets/money/rights/etc
If "their citizens" are in this country illegally then it is pretty much "I don't give a s**t."
File away hammerheads. Pizz off American Citizens yet again, the election is only a year away...
.
Why would these country’s want their citizens to be criminals?
The question South Carolina needs to present to the Court is do any of the countrys wanting in on the suit allow people from other nations to enter their country illegal??
ALL their Claims and Filings should be dismissed for lack of “Standing”. U.S. Citizens only, period.
No, they don’t need to bring it - they can SUCK IT!
Yeah; well said!
I volunteer to speak for the American people to tell these 16 nations to F*** themselves.
Wow!!! If we had a real president and attorney general of THIS country, the crowd from Latin America would never consider such a thing. Holder will judge shop to find one who will not only agree with him, but won’t summarily throw the suit out.
This must be a joke? If you are caught without legal papers in Mexico, you are promptly put in Mexican jail and then deported asap.
The fact that a bunch of foreign S.O.B.s don’t like our laws doesn’t bother me in the least. What pisses me off is the filthy, stinking, traitorous federal effing govt attacking us and using the foreigners as allies against us. I despise the federal govt. DESPISE them!
Yeah its time to flush Congress, the bowl is full.
It would be nice if every state sues the hell out of these countries for all the money their people are stealing from taxpayers. They can give us the money their illegals send them every year which totals billions. Not to mention nailing Mexico for human rights abuses which causes its citizens to flock to this country.
It is astonishing to me, and sickening, that our government will side with other nations against one of the states. If the red states don’t secede, it’s all over. And it better happen while it can be pulled off. If it can be pulled off.
I couldn’t say it any better! Since when did other countries have any say so in our laws! This just boils my panties.
I consider one world government as more of the purview of the global multi-national corporatists than liberals per se. In fact of matter the globalists pit liberals and conservatives against each other, while they pilfer the taxpayer and treasury.
There are many conservatives that are still naively on the side of the globalists thinking that commercial interests are in their interests. Wrong! USA commercial interests are their interests, but not the multi-nationals who view country sovereignty whether it be the USA or any other as a big problem. Most big business is now multi-national. They want one world government, one set of regulations, and open borders and all at the expense of the rights of individual nations.
In a nutshell this is what is wrong with the so-called “conservative” Citizens United decision that allows multi-national corporations to influence the election of our Congress and President. When a corporation decides to go multi-national, they should lose the right to lobby and influence our elections.
Anyone want to guess what Rick “Open-Borders” Perry’s position on this law is?
