Brewer: Ignore plea by Mexico on SB 1070
Keeping border enforcement weak is country's motive, she tells court
Brewer: Ignore plea by Mexico on SB 1070

PHOENIX - Saying its officials have an ulterior motive, Gov. Jan Brewer asked a federal appeals court to ignore the pleas of the Mexican government to keep the state's immigration law from being enforced.
In legal papers filed Wednesday, Brewer said, through her attorney, that Mexico seeks a voice in the legal dispute over SB 1070 based on its contention that keeping Arizona out of the immigration business protects "consistent sovereign-to-sovereign relations" between itself and the United States. The legal brief filed by Mexico also says the country has an interest in protecting the estimated 11 million of its citizens in this country.
But Brewer told the judges that is a smoke screen.
"This court should consider Mexico's arguments in light of its true interest in this dispute, namely its desire for lax enforcement of United States immigration laws and ultimate amnesty for all of the Mexican nationals who are unlawfully present in the United States," attorney John Bouma wrote for the governor. She said the Mexican government is couching that in the guise of "comprehensive immigration reform."
In fact, Brewer said, if she had her way, there wouldn't be any brief for her to fight.
"Mexico and Latin America, I don't believe they belong in our courts," she said. "What they're trying to do is make sure our border is not secure."
Brewer also poked fun at the Mexican government, saying it was filing a "friend of the court" brief.
"They're a friend of the president," the governor said, because she believes it is President Obama who is giving Mexico the go-ahead to try to intercede in "an Arizona issue."
"He gave (Mexican President Felipe) Calderón the forum of the Congress," Brewer said.
The case is technically between the U.S. Department of Justice, which opposes key provisions of SB 1070, and the state.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton in July agreed with Obama administration arguments that some parts the state law appear to be pre-empted by federal law and enjoined their enforcement. A hearing is set for Nov. 1 in San Francisco on Brewer's appeal of that injunction.
Mexico, along with other interested parties on both sides of the issue, have filed "friend of the court" briefs with their own perspectives.
Brewer said much of what Mexico is arguing involves the general importance of positive international relations as well as human and civil rights. And the governor said she does not dispute those principles.
"However, Mexico does not explain how either of these two issues are relevant to the issues before the court," the governor's legal filing said. "Instead, Mexico spends much of its brief engaging in unfounded speculation about the impact of SB 1070."
"Without any basis on the record, Mexico asserts that SB 1070 'will inevitably lead to harassment of Mexicans legally present in the U.S. and appearance-based arrests, giving Mexico justified cause for concern,'" the governor said. She said racial profiling is not an issue in this appeal, only the question of federal pre-emption.
As proof of Mexico's true interest, Brewer and Bouma cite a declaration of Otto Reich, a former ambassador under the Reagan administration and an assistant secretary of state in the administration of George W. Bush.
He said many foreign countries "would prefer to see the U.S. border remain as open as possible to allow the exportation of surplus labor," and that Latin American countries "favor amnesty so that those unlawfully present can continue to send money to their friends and family back home."

Gov Brewer told nations from south of the border ok in court
Gov Brewer was just on TV and said her office was notified that Mexico and the other countries from south of the border will be allowed in federal court to fight sb1070 but she will not be allowed to dispute their being part of the suit. Is this America? Since when does our country allow foreign nations to dictate what laws we can or cannot pass? Whats next are they going to take over congress and the senate and make all our laws to their liking? This is outrageous and unacceptable and the american people need to protest these foreign countries being allowed to enter our court system and influence what laws we pass because if you don't stand up now and let your voices be heard our Country will no longer be a soverign nation of the united states of america!!!

10-15-2010, 03:20 AM #6The legal brief filed by Mexico also says the country has an interest in protecting the estimated 11 million of its citizens in this country.
Then by all means Mexico needs to call them all back to Mexico where they'll be safe.
What in the hell are 11 million Mexican citizens doing in the United States, who are they and what are they doing here?!
You know, Mexico needs to be prove that up in the court and Arizona needs to demand the names, locations, passport numbers, green cards, etc. of each and every one of those 11 million Mexican citizens that are in the state of Arizona and what they're doing there. Are they stealing jobs from Americans? Are they on our welfare rolls? Are they in our public schools? Are they in our hospitals? Standing in our charity lines? Sucking down food stamps? Breeding anchor voters?
Every country that has filed one of these briefs, needs to be required to produce under discovery request full disclosure of who these people are, why they are in the United States. and what they're doing in Arizona.
"Sovereign to sovereign relations." Interesting. If violating our laws, killing our people, stealing our jobs, robbing our money supply, sucking on our public services, running illegal drugs, crowding our schools and overburdening our hospitals is what Mexico and these other countries think is "sovereign to sovereign relations", then Boy Howdy, are they in for a rude awakening.
Do you realize that 11 million Mexicans is more than 10% o the entire Mexican Population that's in the wrong country?
I'm very proud of Brewer and her statements. She is right on the money and hit the nail on the head. I have no objection to other countries filing briefs in our courts as strange as that may seem, but the reason is because we do the same thing all over the world. However, this is not an international matter, it's a domestic matter in the most bizarre situation of foreign countries siding with the federal government of the United States against a state of the United States who is doing nothing but enforcing US immigration law.
Does it get any nuttier or more treasonous than that? No, it does not. When 11 states are siding with Arizona, and 11 foreign countries are siding with the Obama Administration, then it should be clear to anyone with 2 live brain cells still connected WHO the federal government of the United States is working for, and it's certainly not the United States of America or the American People.
If US citizens don't throw these jackasses out of office on the absolute earliest possible date, then we don't deserve our beautiful America.

I agree with everybody here. I recommend this thread. If the people of the US cannot wake up over this with major news like Falcon Lake in their face - it's just amazing if they cannot yet see the truth.
