A lawsuit was sure to come following America’s illegal immigration crisis spiraling over the last fifteen years. The injured party (jobless Americans) and negligent perp (Mexican government officials) seemed clear as day to me, so imagine my surprise when the aforementioned guilty party were the ones calling on the International courts....??????
Mexico on Tuesday, June 22nd 2010 asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that our country’s interest and citizens’ rights are at stake.(As if Americans are less fluent in our constitution than our southern counterparts.). These same lawyers also submitted a brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the Arizona law, which if you didn’t know is to be enacted July 29th unless implementation is prevented through the courts.
As should be common knowledge, the law now permits police investigating an unrelated crime or incident to as people about their citizenship status granting there is reasonable suspicion. It also makes being in Arizona illegally a misdemeanor, and it prohibits employers from potentially seeking day-labor work on the state’s streets.
Mexico, (a.k.a. North America’s biggest hypocrites) until recently made illegal immigration in their own nation’s borders, a criminal offense and allowed anyone for the violation to be fined and imprisoned for up to two years and prior to deportation. Mexican law requires law enforcement officials to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues.
Amnesty International recently issued a report claiming illegal immigrants in Mexico -- typically from Central America -- face abuse, rape and kidnappings, and that Mexican police do little to stop it. When illegal immigration was a criminal offense in Mexico, officials were known to seek bribes from suspects to keep them out of jail.
“Grave concerns” were cited in the brief (this coming from a country with bribery as the true rule of law for its own citizens.) Some of the “grave concerns” from the mouth of Calderon and others are along the lines of: Arizona's law would lead to racial profiling, and strain the countries' work on combating drug trafficking and related violence. Also, that Mexican citizens will be afraid to visit Arizona for work or pleasure out of concern that they will be subject to unlawful police scrutiny and detention," the brief said. It will be up to a U.S. District Court judge to decide whether to accept the brief along with similar ones submitted by various U.S. organizations.
In a statement issued late Tuesday, Brewer said she was "very disappointed" to learn of Mexico's filing and reiterated that "Arizona's immigration enforcement laws are both reasonable and constitutional." This seems clearly not only a law to pressure illegal immigrants to leave the United States, but hopefully to encourage our own commander-in-chief to end this open-border crime trap that has become of the Southwestern states.
Calderon admitted this to Amnesty International, saying: “…illegal immigrants in Mexico — typically from Central America — face abuse, rape and kidnappings, and that Mexican police do little to stop it. When illegal immigration was a criminal offense in Mexico, officials were known to seek bribes from suspects to keep them out of jail.”
The white house text of its suit against Arizona will likely be ready sometime next week, and is therefore not included. But never have I been so disappointed in Obama than in his negligence on this pressing issue. Only cowardice or amnesty could prevent the federal government from adopting this same law and preventing Arizona from needing to take such steps in the first place. The so-called grounds for the suit are along the lines of this statement released today from the white house: “Criminal action against illegal immigrants is not, itself, a satisfactory solution to the nation's dysfunctional immigration system.” Then, please tell me Mr. Obama WHAT IS???? No one is so arrogant as to refute a better anti-illegal immigration law than what was presented by Governor Brewer and the Arizona legislative body, but to repeal a law already showing promising results (an evacuation of hundreds of illegal squatters) with no replacement is HEINOUSLY IRRESPONSIBLE.
Hopefully the district judge will throw their briefs into the nearest circular file where they richly deserve to be.
