PHOENIX — Seven other Latin American countries want to join Mexico in supporting a lawsuit challenging Arizona's immigration enforcement law.
Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru filed separate, nearly identical motions to join Mexico's legal brief supporting the lawsuit filed by U.S. civil rights and other advocacy groups.
A federal judge formally accepted Mexico's filing July 1 but did not immediately rule on the latest motions filed late last week.
Mexico says the law would lead to racial profiling and hinder trade, tourism and the fight against drug trafficking.
The law is to take effect July 29. It requires that police conducting traffic stops or questioning people about possible legal violations ask them about their immigration status if there is "reasonable suspicion" that they're in the country illegally.

As a person that tries to place himself in other's shoes before judging I weighed that post and the reactions of the countries named. Maybe we should check our arrogance factor, and the weighty hands that we've been waving over the heads of their countryman who snuck into our country in hopes of suckling at the teet of our tax dollars. I say that we move forward with all expediency and begin delivering their countrymen from their intolerable existence in this horribly oppressive place. Let's help them return to their lovely countries as fast as possible and let their own governments deal with keeping the whiny fuckers happy.

I am sure the law would REDUCE druck trafficking, human smuggling, gun running, etc. If they want guns to stop coming into Mexico from the U.S. then they need to shut the fuck up.
