Mexico files court brief against Arizona immigration law - CNN.com

The raw audacity of Mexico to do this...

[towerclimber37]

AHAHAHAHHAAHAHA Mexico files a court brief?? well then..they owe one HELLUVA lot of back taxes!

I say that for every illegal alien caught, we fine Mexico 100,000.00. If they don't pay, we can always make the aliens work off the fine (overhead costs for health care, lost revenues etc.

Go to H#LL Mexico!

[Guest Benelli Nova Guy]

I cannot believe this. Next will be the UN filing some civil rights crap...

[Guest 6.8 AR]

In US Federal court, no less. I wonder how their argument will go? Since their immigration

laws are so strict compared to ours. They should be laughed out of the courtroom, if they

have legal standing to get in with their argument.

Lunacy!

I cannot imagine what their legal standing would be? Any lawyers, please step in?

[Guest friesepferd]

although this whole this is quite pathetic and sad... seeing this actually made me laugh. are you serious?

[MCSCOTT]

This should be throw in the trash before any of our tax dollars get spent in court on it. This is the United States, Mexico has absolutely no say so in what goes on with our laws no matter who they pertain to. If our country can not support AZ with their enforcement of laws that are already in place on a federal level, then AZ and the states that support them should form their own country. As divided as our states are currently I would say it's getting about that time anyway.

Got this E-mail today and looked it up onWikipedia. Pretty good summary of Mexica's immigration laws. Too bad we can't enforce our like tha

Subject: FW: amazing...

This is very interesting and if Arizona can do it , why can't the rest of America ?

MEXICO IS ANGRY !

Three cheers for Arizona

The shoe is on the other foot and the Mexicans from the State of Sonora,

Mexico don't like it. Can you believe the nerve of these people? It's

almost funny. The State of Sonora is angry at the influx of Mexicans

into Mexico . Nine state legislators from the Mexican State of Sonora

traveled to Tucson to complain about Arizona 's new employer crackdown

on illegals from Mexico .

It seems that many Mexican illegals are returning to their hometowns and

the officials in the Sonora state government are ticked off.

A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on

Tuesday to state that Arizona 's new Employer Sanctions Law will have a

devastating effect on the Mexican state.

At a news conference, the legislators said that Sonora, - Arizona's

southern neighbor, - made up of mostly small towns, - cannot handle the

demand for housing, jobs and schools that it will face as Mexican

workers return to their hometowns from the USA without jobs or money.

The Arizona law, which took effect Jan. 1, punishes Arizona employers

who knowingly hire individuals without valid legal documents to work in

the United States . Penalties include suspension of, or loss of, their

business license.

The Mexican legislators are angry because their own citizens are

returning to their hometowns, placing a burden on THEIR state

government. 'How can Arizona pass a law like this?' asked Mexican Rep

Leticia Amparano-Gamez, who represents Nogales .

'There is not one person living in Sonora who does not have a friend or

relative working in Arizona ,' she said, speaking in Spanish. 'Mexico is

not prepared for this, for the tremendous problems it will face as more

and more Mexicans working in Arizona and who were sending money to their

families return to their home-towns in Sonora without jobs,' she said.

'We are one family, socially and economically,' she said of the people

of Sonora and Arizona .

Wrong!

The United States is a sovereign nation, not a subsidiary of Mexico ,

and its taxpayers are not responsible for the welfare of Mexico's

citizens.

It's time for the Mexican government, and its citizens, to stop feeding

parasitically off the United States and to start taking care of

its/their own needs.

Too bad that other states within the USA don't pass a law just like that

passed by Arizona .

Maybe that's the answer, since our own Congress will do nothing!

New Immigration Laws: Read to the bottom or you will miss the message...

1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools.

* * * * * * * *

2. All ballots will be in this nation's language..

* * * * * * * *

3.. All government business will be conducted in our language.

* * * * * * * *

4. Non-residents will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they

are here.

* * * * * * * *

5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office

* * * * * * * *

6 Foreigners will not be a burden to the taxpayers. No welfare, no food

stamps, no health care, or other government assistance programs. Any

burden will be deported.

* * * * * * * *

7. Foreigners can invest in this country, but it must be an amount at

least equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage.

* * * * * * * *

8. If foreigners come here and buy land... options will be restricted.

Certain parcels including waterfront property are reserved for citizens

naturally born into this country.

* * * * * * * *

9. Foreigners may have no protests; no demonstrations, no waving of a

foreign flag, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or

his policies. These will lead to deportation.

* * * * * * * *

10. If you do come to this country illegally, you will be actively

hunted and when caught, sent to jail until your deportation can be

arranged. All assets will be taken from you.

* * * * * * * * * Too strict ?

The above laws are current immigration laws of MEXICO !

FOXNews.com - Source: Administration Weighs Bypassing Congress to Let Illegal Immigrants Stay

The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com.

The issue was raised publicly by eight Republican senators who wrote to the White House on Monday to complain that they had heard the administration was readying a "Plan B" in case a comprehensive immigration reform bill cannot win enough support to clear Congress.

The White House would not confirm or deny the claim. It's unclear what section of the illegal immigrant population such a move would target. But the former Bush official said the discussions are real.

"The administration at the very minimum is studying legal ways to legalize people without having to go through any congressional debate about it," the source said, calling the senators' claim credible. "Whether somebody pulls the trigger on that, that's another issue."

The senators -- Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; Saxby Chambliss, Ga.; Johnny Isakson, R-Ga.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; and Thad Cochran, R-Miss. -- claimed in their letter that the administration was looking at extending what is known as deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States.

The former official said it's unclear what specific avenues the administration is considering, but that one potentially feasible option would be to use either deferred action or parole to legalize at once the millions of immigrants who have overstayed their visas -- not necessarily those who crossed the border illegally. The Department of Homeland Security estimated last year that 10.8 million undocumented residents live in the United States -- the Pew Hispanic Center, which has a similar count, estimated in 2006 that at least 4 million of them overstayed their visas.

Deferred action and parole would give illegal immigrants the ability to seek a work permit and temporary legal status.

Those two tools are usually used on a case-by-case basis. The former official said any move to broaden that authority and use it on a mass basis would be "woefully inappropriate," though politically brilliant.

The Republican senators who wrote to President Obama expressed a similar view. They wrote that any unilateral action would "further erode the American public's confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books."

The discussions of blanket legalization come in the middle of several concurrent and heated debates over illegal immigration. The recently signed immigration law in Arizona has divided the country, with some states trying to replicate the state's tough legislation and other jurisdictions boycotting the state in protest. The Obama administration plans to file a court challenge.

Democrats, meanwhile, have been trying to round up support for an overhaul bill in Congress.

[Mark@Sea]

So, where can I find a good deal on a pike? SMKW carry 'em?

[Mike.357]

I might even be able to stomache a deal where everyone here right this second is in the country,for good. But only if they can start shooting anyone else after right this second passes.

The only fauly AZ made was not replicating the Mexico law as their own.

[Guest Boogieman]

Wow......... This almost makes me physically ill. Mexico should have no standing in our courts, we should have no standing in a Canadian court, Canada should have no standing in a German court, etc, etc, etc. What is the point of being a seperate country if any other foreign country can come on in and piss and moan about OUR laws? To hell with Mexico and Calderon.

[Guest SUNTZU]

So, where can I find a good deal on a pike? SMKW carry 'em?

Yes.

Narcotics agents arrest suspected drug cartel member in Oklahoma City | NewsOK.com

Agents arrested a suspected high-ranking Mexican Sinaloa Cartel member in Oklahoma City during a drug raid Tuesday, indicating the organization may be trying to move in on the territory of a rival group, an Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control official said.

The man was described only as a 35-year-old Mexican national. Authorities also didn't release names of others apprehended in the raid, which netted two pounds of methamphetamine, one pound of cocaine and $20,000 in cash.

Bureau Executive Director Darrell Weaver said the man's arrest is the strongest evidence to date that Sinaloa Cartel is trying to move in on the Oklahoma territory of Juarez Cartel.

"This is a disturbing case,†said Weaver, whose agents helped serve 18 arrest warrants and 13 search warrants in an operation that stretched from Tulsa to Elk City. Warrants also were served in Mustang and Norman.

At least nine people ranging from users to suppliers were arrested. The names of those arrested during the sting operation were withheld because they were included in sealed warrants, bureau spokesman Mark Woodward said.

Weaver said he and his agents are alarmed that a second cartel is attempting to make serious inroads into this area.

Undercover agents became aware of their main suspect three months ago, after Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070 — the new immigration law that allows police to search anyone for valid documentation of citizenship.

"Our target received a dispatch from Mexico, and was told to leave Phoenix because of the new immigration law,†said an undercover case agent who asked that his name not be used. "He was told to set up shop in Oklahoma City. Fortunately, in a very short time, we learned of his presence and were able to infiltrate his operation.â€

Agents discovered a lucrative operation, and according to the undercover agent, an "established market.†Undercover surveillance revealed that an average of 10 pounds of methamphetamine was being shipped into Oklahoma City a week, Weaver said. Ten pounds of methamphetamine can net $180,000 to $210,000 on the streets, depending on its purity.

The suspect tried to maintain a low profile by living in a gated apartment complex on the city's north side. But Weaver said his agents were able to track "hundreds of thousands of dollars in wire transfers†to Mexico, where the money was being used to buy land.

The narcotics bureau alleges the money was being laundered through a nondescript used car lot in Oklahoma City where people socialized more than they sold cars.

"Our target had a previous conviction for drug possession, and had already been deported once from Arizona,†the undercover agent said. "And still he was trusted to set up an operation in Oklahoma City where he personally moved money. How high up was he? He was one step removed from those on the border who make the orders.

"Now he says he can't cooperate because he has family. He knows he's finished.â€

Cindy Cunningham, the agency's chief agent on electronic surveillance intelligence, said the suspect had orders to establish similar operations elsewhere, including Denver and Las Vegas.

Weaver described the case as one of the most troubling of his 23-year drug enforcement career. Agents think Juarez Cartel leaders have been preoccupied by infighting and violence on the border, leaving Oklahoma City open for opportunistic Sinaloa Cartel members.

"We were fortunate to infiltrate this organization within two months of the group setting up shop,†Weaver said. "I believe the Mexican drug cartels are the No. 1 threat to the safety of Oklahomans, and we must be vigilant in our pursuit of these individuals who want to rob everything good we want for our state while making themselves rich.

"This case shows the effects other states' policies can have on the safety of our state.â€

Apparently, AZ law disturbs the status quo and gets drug dealers arrested. I say shut it down immediately. I'd hate for something to work.
