Mexico hails legal setback for Arizona's anti-migrant law
Published April 12, 2011
Mexico City – The Mexican government expressed its "full agreement" with a U.S. court's rejection of a motion by the state of Arizona to lift a stay blocking enforcement of parts of law SB1070, a measure aimed at criminalizing undocumented immigrants.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton did not abuse her authority in blocking some of the more controversial provisions of the state law, such as the one obliging police to check the immigration status of people they "suspect" of being in the country illegally.
Mexico and 10 other Latin American countries filed friend of the court briefs supporting the U.S. Justice Department's challenge to SB1070, the Mexican foreign ministry noted in a statement.
"Mexico will continue employing all the necessary measures and turning to all the available authorities with the aim of responding in a firm and immediate manner to any violation of the basic rights of Mexicans, wherever they may be and independent of their migration status," the statement concluded.
SB1070, which partially entered into force last July 29, was rejected by the Hispanic community both within and outside Arizona and was followed by an economic boycott against the state.
More than a dozen U.S. state legislatures are considering passing laws modeled on SB1070.
The law has run into numerous lawsuits by civic groups who fear that it will lead to racial discrimination against people who appear to be foreigners or allegedly have a "foreign-sounding" accent.
