#1 The NINTH CIRCUIT, after all, is the one that decided back in the 1990's that the US is a UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR ILLEGAL NATION.

AFAIK, that Decision has never been formally VOIDED, only a "NO-ACTION-TAKEN-TO-ENFORCE-JUDGEMENT" kind of thingy = IOW, ITS STILL STANDS

WE CAN'T STOP THE MEXICAN/HISPANIC ILLEGALS BECUZ,TEHCNICALLY SPEAKING, LAWFUL AMER CITZENS-RESIDENTS ARE PER SE "ILLEGALS" OURSELVES!

WASHINGTON DC, CONGRESS + new POTUS BAMMER ADMIN, ETC FEDS, HAVE NO STANDING TO ENFORCE OR DENY ANYTHING + EVERYTHING, AGZ ANYONE + EVERYONE.

* THE PROFESSIONAL Movie = D *** NG IT, EEEEVVVVEEEERRYYYOOOONNNNEEE......!

Have I said "D *** NG IT!"???

#4 O will not say anything about the persecution of people in Afghanistan, thinking it an internal affair, but will use the UN as a club against one of our own states if it suits his whims. Pure hypocrisy for anyone with the eyes to see.

#5 OMG. Only in America. In the countries mentioned only the rich are considered worthy so any effort to curtail flight of their extra poor, sick and hungry and criminals will not be tolerated.

#8 The judges that voted for this have officially violated their oaths to uphold the laws and the constitution. They are now officially fall under the oath I gave in service to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign AND domestic.

#9 Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Chile vs "We the People of the United States of America"

Just remember the 'ruling caste' that chose to side with them.

#10 Giving away our national sovereignty via judicial activism. Unbelievable!

#11 What, Venezuela and Cuba were busy rearranging their sock drawers or something? Slackers.

#12 It would have been nice if the 9th Circus told these folks to step off. But there is no law that broadly prohibits foreign entities from entering an amicus breif in US courts. (Friend of the Court) However, the Court must conclude that the matter is relevant, not already brought to its attention by the parties, and may be of considerable help to the Court. At least one section of SB1070 is being challenged citing the Commerce Clause. The foreign goverments contention appears to be that there is a likelyhood that immigrants with legal status could be affected and therefore could disrupt Interstate commerce. In this case its doubtful the information provided will sway the courts decision one way or the other.

#13 Disgusting, but also largely meaningless. Two things to keep in mind:

1. Amicus briefs do not make these countries parties to the case. More like public comment. The case will still be decided on the facts and the law (both of which strongly favor AZ).

2. The 9th Circus is the most reversed appeals court in the country. IIRC, something like 75%. Laughable. It's just the usual libtard thing - taking a "principled stand" in the face of almost certain futility.

3. This will likely remain so because the balance of power on the S.Ct. hasn't changed, and by now, the Trifecta's (BO, Pelosi, Reid) chance to pack the Court is effectively gone.

#15 Been to Arizona lately? History repeats itself, but not in detail. As a Jewish Tucsonan who taught bilingual special education here for many years I make these observations: we have an idiot governor (one of many) who, nevertheless, is correctly backing SB170; a substantial crowd of La Raza and MeCha proposing AZTLAN; and a genuine demographic surge in the Hispanic population (regardless of ongoing recession, depression, or whatnot). To wit: examining the future do I apply for a Mexican or Israeli dual-citizenship? Alternatively, should I stock up on shotguns and inexpensive Makarovs and remain here hunkered down?

p.s. A great number of Latinos in these parts believe that Jews read and observe the Koran! Additionally the AZATLAN internet news sites are virulently antisemitic. What to do? The world's oldest hatred is alive and well in these parts.

#16 Let's remember the Mexican Constitution -

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.

One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee.

The "Heil Hitler" salute is in widespread use amongst Mexican politicians and police:

actually looks like a DUI stop - physical impairment test, which is equally plausible

#19 Until 1942, that was how American civilians saluted the flag during the Pledge of Allegiance! It is known as the Bellamy salute , after Francis Bellamy, who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance.

#20 Per your references, the picture from El Diario shows a stiff armed fascist salute, not an upraised arm "bellamy salute". Stop making excuses for bad behavior!

p.s. "Sieg Heil Baby!" (The Producers)
