PHOENIX -- Mexico and 10 other Latin American countries want a federal appeals court to consider their viewpoints in Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's appeal of a ruling that put parts of her state's new immigration law on hold.

The countries are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to file so-called friend-of-the-court briefs in Brewer's appeal of the ruling, which arose from a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department.

The 11 countries say they have an interest in ensuring they have reliable relations with the United States that aren't frustrated by Arizona.

Mexico is joined in the request by Argentina, Boliva, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru.

Supporters of the law say it's intended to confront the state's vast illegal immigration woes that Washington is confronting adequately.

Unending NERVE!

I see the European Union is on our side since they have witnessed their own demise because of uncontrolled illegal immigration and the costs related to it.

not this, again.

wish i was in SF just to go listen in and hear what people say.
i still cant understand how a foreign country can have a say so in our laws.
I still cant believe we have a government that would even allow this to take place

Anyone with money in SF STAYS home or LEAVES town to have a GOOD TIME.

Since Mexico now seems to have standing with U.S. courts, I propose that the U.S. be consulted on all Mexican national affairs, including and especially civil rights lawsuits.

This is an outrage. These countries have been attached like leeches for years and they afraid of losing money. JMO

The Gall of these people!!

The judge doesn't have to agree with what the have to say.
