Banana republics play "pig pile" on Arizona...

PHOENIX (AP) -- Mexico and 10 other Latin American countries want a federal appeals court to consider their viewpoints in Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's appeal of a ruling that put parts of her state's new immigration law on hold.

The countries are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for permission to file so-called friend-of-the-court briefs in Brewer's appeal of the ruling, which arose from a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department.

The 11 countries say they have an interest in ensuring they have reliable relations with the United States that aren't frustrated by Arizona.

Mexico is joined in the request by Argentina, Boliva, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru.

Supporters of the law say it's intended to confront the state's vast illegal immigration woes that Washington is confronting adequately.

(End of story. My comments follow.)

Can someone tell me why these Third World toilets deserve to have a voice in the ongoing debate over Arizona's efforts to combat illegal aliens? They're a huge part of the problem, if their nations weren't so corrupt and run by such incompetents there would be no stampede to El Norte for a better life.

Seeing as how they're dealing with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, we can expect every one of these thugocracies to have a front row seat at the proceedings. All paid for courtesy of John & Joan Q. Public of course.
