since when do mexican citizens have rights under the U.S. constitution?

AOL News (June 23) -- The Mexican government has thrust itself into the legal battle against Arizona's controversial immigration law, joining U.S. advocacy groups in federal court to argue that the measure is unconstitutional and violates the basic rights of Mexican citizens.

Lawyers for Mexico filed a brief supporting a lawsuit brought by the ACLU, the National Immigration Law Center and others against the Arizona law, which allows law enforcement to verify someone's residency status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that the person is an illegal immigrant.

"Mexico has a duty to protect its citizens and ensure that ethnicity is not used as criteria for discriminatory acts," the court document states. Mexico argues that the Arizona law threatens "the human and civil rights of its citizens when they are present in Arizona."

The Mexican government has joined U.S. advocacy groups in filing a suit in federal court arguing that Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070, is unconstitutional and violates the basic rights of Mexican citizens. Here, Tucson Police Officer Ysela Welding looks at injuries on the face of a juvenile victim of an assault on May 29.
Unless a federal judge issues an injunction, the law will take effect July 29.

The Arizona law has been a source of controversy in the United States, but it is broadly unpopular in Mexico, where it is seen as flatly discriminatory and even racist.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has been vocal about his opposition to the legislation, which he says "opens the door to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." He has also warned that the measure could strain relations between Mexico and the United States.

In the mainstream Mexican press, the Arizona law is routinely and uncontroversially referred to as a measure "that criminalizes immigrants because of their race."

A majority of Arizonans, however, support the law, and Mexico's court brief elicited a rapid-fire response Tuesday from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who said she was "very disappointed."

In a statement, Brewer said the brief contained "false assertions and factual inaccuracies" and said the United States has a right to defend itself. "We refuse to accept that the United States government is unable to protect its citizens against a relentless and daily barrage of narco-terrorist drug and human smugglers," she said.

President Barack Obama, however, has called the Arizona law "misguided," and his administration has sent signals that it may challenge the legislation in federal court. Although the administration says it is still reviewing the law, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told an Ecuadorian TV station last week that the Justice Department "will be bringing a lawsuit" against the immigration measure.

Something tells me that lazer and JB would have more pity for the wildlife that would inevitably be killed by the "electrified fence" ... than for any unfortunate Mexicans.

These drones are a good idea:

Quote:
Agreement on the drone came as President Obama asked Congress for $500 million to fund the drones and also 1,000 additional border patrol officers. Napolitano said the "border is as secure now as it has ever been," with violent crime down on the U.S. side and seizures of drugs and illegal weapons on the increase. But more can be done, she said. Drug-related killings have risen in Mexico, so fears remain that the violence will spill into the U.S. source

My "extended family" lives in California and Arizona (and the DC area and NYC).

We are all US citizens.

We are Americans, of Mexican heritage.

But we all have two things in common: (1) compassion for our fellow man, and (2) acknowledgement that those who enter the country without documentation are here illegally.

Most illegal immigrants are just quiet people who want a better life than what they left behind, and are not a menace to society. So those who rant about them as though they were no different from hardened, violent criminals simply baffle me...

WELL, THe wildlife cant read! i am pro legal immigration anti illegal immigration. i have family members and friends that are immigrants... 5 of were just sworn in as citizens in the last year.
because you are of mexican decent you seem to think all mexican/hispanics are all for protection of ILLEGALS or amnesty and i know for a fact you are WRONG!
i've already posted links of hispanics against illegal immigration and in favor of the az law.

ETA i should have put a sarcasm after the wildlife reading. i never said i agree with an electric fence. as usual you assume.

some laws are meant to be broken: anything that ameliorates pain and is compassionate are okay w/me. mercy-killng; pot smoking; anti-slavery; hiding jews from the nazis, etc.
