#1 Does this mean that - other than in Alabama, of course - all these illegal aliens we've been reading about were not really illegal?

So, "Undocumented, soon-to-be-democratic-voters, not-quite-American-yet, citizens of foreign countries still under the protection of their embassies" is a more accurate title?

No wonder they get sharia law!

#2 Mexican Constitution -

Foreigners

Article 33. Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.

Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.

#4 There's no "right" to immigrate here! We have a right to control out borders. Would these suing countries sue Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, etc. and other such paradises for not being allowed to immigrate. Many countries have restrictions on immigration such as age, amount of assets, non-criminals, etc. Mexico suing? What a joke! What would Mexico do if we sued them for allowing hordes of illegals to sneak across our border? In fact, the Mexican government printed pamphlets a few years ago on how to cross our border without being detected. Mexico is a failed State. Why even listen to them? Try immigrating to Mexico. There are all kinds of restrictions. These law suits ought not to be dignified by being heard in our courts.

#5 Could I add: Screw these 16 countries. If we had a real Justice Department, they would nip these lawsuits in the bud.

#6 I think the Arizona example is starting to hit home. Illegal immigrants do not stay in Arizona. They may still pass through, for now, but they do not hang around, and it is already showing dividends with much lower costs.

Several public schools have now closed because of a lack of illegal alien students, yet because illegals in Arizona never ghettoized, it just means that neighborhoods have a few more houses for rent or sale than they would have had otherwise.

#7 My response to the 16 countries.

"Then stay out and fuck you."

Thank you.

#8 Muunrowvul natives made me drink supersaturated sugared ice-tea to make sure I was "okay", still it's better than the way they treat us in Georgia.

#9 With all the crap I've had to deal with immigrating to Panama, I'm glad to see them not on the list.
