Mexico's Amicus Brief on Texas Anti-Illegal Immigration Law
Mexico files amicus brief in support of Biden administration's lawsuit against Texas' anti-illegal immigration law, claiming it would impinge on Mexico's 'sovereign right.' The law, S.B. 4, allows police to arrest illegal immigrants and state judges to order their deportation.
Key Points
- Mexico opposes Texas' S.B. 4
- Concerns over discrimination against Mexican nationals
- Request to Fifth Circuit Court to keep injunction on the law
Pros
- Mexico's assertion of protecting its sovereignty
- Highlighting potential discrimination and tension in U.S.-Mexico relations
Cons
- Could impede enforcement of immigration law
- May lead to removal of illegal immigrants to Mexico regardless of nationality
