Mexico threatens Arizona over anti-illegals measure: “Official says challenge in international courts possible to block voter-passed Proposition 200”.
“The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has challenged Prop. 200, saying it is ‘an illegal, impermissible, unconstitutional state attempt to regulate immigration policy, which is a fundamental function and responsibility of our federal government. Proposition 200 is mean-spirited and un-American.'”
I, for one, am completely offended that the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has demeaned the dignity of Prop. 200 by calling it “an illegal”. How insensitive! How callous! We should not call laws “illegals”, it just invites people to treat them with disrespect, to objectify and denude them of their humanity.
