Mexico Joins Suit Against Arizona's Immigration Law, Citing 'Grave Concerns'

Mexico on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country's own interests and its citizens' rights are at stake.

Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.

Mexican law, however, requires law enforcement officials "to demand that foreigners prove their legal presence in the country before attending to any issues."

Three of them (the fourth is only rumored) have been ruled upon in Arizona's favor. In the law that penalized employers of illegal aliens, Janet Napolitano, then governor of Arizona was a formal respondent in the suit. She wholeheartedly supported the state's position.

Now, as a member of the Obama administration, she has inexplicably changed her tune. Hey, I guess anybody has the right to change his mind...

They would print the Mexican immigration law verbatim (changing only "Mexico" to the "United States" and like necessary changes of place names) and introduce it in the House of Reps.
