Foreign countries line up to oppose Utah immigration law HB497

Foreign countries line up to oppose Utah immigration law HB497..The 21-page, friend-of-the-court brief was filed June 2 and argues HB497 “substantially and inappropriately burdens the consistent sovereign-to-sovereign relations between Mexico and the USA, interfering with the strategic diplomatic interests of the two countries and encouraging an imminent threat of state-sanctioned bias or discrimination.” Mexico is the lead country on the brief but was joined by Argentina, Peru, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Honduras, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala and Brazil...including the ACLU and the National Immigration Law Center.
