ATLANTA (AP) — Mexico and 10 other countries have joined the legal fight against Georgia's tough new immigration law, warning that the strict crackdown could jeopardize close ties between the U.S. and its Latin American neighbors.

The nations filed briefs late Wednesday in support of civil liberties groups who asked a federal judge to declare Georgia's new law unconstitutional and block it from taking effect. The filing marks a new phase in the legal showdown that has pitted Georgia's attorneys against groups who had threatened to challenge the law even before it was adopted by lawmakers.

Mexico's move also echoes the legal strategy it pursued to challenge tough new immigration rules enacted by other states. Attorneys representing Mexico filed briefs challenging similar legislation adopted in Arizona and Utah.

Lack of jurisdiction?

Lack of jurisdiction?


This is a disturbing glimpse of the future. Are we not a sovereign nation? Would this have been conceivable even 30 years ago? Attorneys representing a foreign state are challenging a state law?

I don't see this as anything other than grandstanding, there is no legal jurisdiction.

I guess they can only hope to impact popular opinion here.
