Thread: Mexico allowed to sue states with new immigration laws

We need to immediately file suit against the nations of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru for unpaid expenses incurred by their citizens in the U.S., to include the costs of medical care, incarceration, education, and welfare benefits.

Definitely making things more volatile Workingforchange.

As the states get more and more pressure on them from this idiocy, they are just going to fight back more - that is already showing itself in the form of all the new legistlation being drawn up in so many of the states. This ought to make them good and mad. Let's just hope this momentum that brave, courageous Jan Brewer started keeps growing.

Obama and his cronies needs to be sent to Mess - ico to live permanently!

Anyone can file a BRIEF, here is the legal description of it:

A document used to submit a legal contention or argument to a court. A brief typically sets out the facts of the case and a party's legal arguments. These arguments must be supported by legal authority and precedent, such as statutes, regulations, and previous court decisions.

It is not a suit!

Thank you for pointing this out dregerk.

amicus curiae
(redirected from Amicus brief)

Literally, friend of the court. A person with strong interest in or views on the subject matter of an action, but not a party to the action, may petition the court for permission to file a brief, ostensibly on behalf of a party but actually to suggest a rationale consistent with its own views. Such amicus curiae briefs are commonly filed in appeals concerning matters of a broad public interest; e.g., civil rights cases. They may be filed by private persons or the government. In appeals to the U.S. courts of appeals, an amicus brief may be filed only if accompanied by written consent of all parties, or by leave of court granted on motion or at the request of the court, except that consent or leave shall not be required when the brief is presented by the United States or an officer or agency thereof.
