Immigration Hilarity

Had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Since when does the Mexican (or any other country's) government have any standing in U.S. Courts? They will get laughed out the door, and down the street.

One can just imagine the reverse situation -- likely the lawyer in Mexico would get beaten and thrown into prison for suing to enforce the rights of an illegal immigrant to Mexico from the U.S.

The really sad thing about this whole circus is that we had a working cross-border labor program from 1942 through 1964:

The Bracero Program

It had its problems -- as all human arrangements do -- but it at least tried to be fair to the poor Mexicans who came to work in the U.S.
