16 nations want to challenge SC immigration law


By JIM DAVENPORT, Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Sixteen Latin American and Caribbean nations have asked to join in the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit against South Carolina's new illegal immigration law, citing concerns for their citizens.

Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Ecuador and Chile and other countries filed papers Tuesday, asking to join the Justice Department's litigation in Charleston.

The law would require law officers who make a traffic stop to call federal immigration officials if they suspect someone is in the country illegally. Opponents say the measure would encourage racial profiling.

The 16 nations state in their filings that the law would lead to state-sanctioned discrimination against their citizens.

Justice Department lawyers are asking the court to stop the law from taking effect in January, saying immigration policy is solely the domain of the U.S. government.

I am not a practicing attorney. If there is one out there I would be interested to know how a Sovereign Foreign Nation would be able to establish standing? I would understand them filing an Amicus Brief , although I am not sure how much weight that would have being that the crux of the issue goes to the Constitutionality of the law itself. I would not see the interests, wishes or opinions of a Foreign Entity of having any bearing on the overall issue of Constitutionality , where the issue is not the effect of the law itself , but more a question of Jurisdiction.
