GOPUSA has an interesting article on the failure by the ACLU and the Governemnt of Mexico to overturn an Arizona law that would require people applying for government benefits and services to prove their immigration status. Prop. 200 also requires proof of citizenship when regietering to vote and provide identification at the polls. Here's an excerpt:

An appeals court has rejected a bid by illegal immigrants to overturn Arizona's Proposition 200, which requires the state to verify the immigration status of people applying for benefits and services they are not allowed to receive under federal law.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed their challenge on the grounds that the illegal immigrants had no legal standing.

The Ninth Circuit Court got this one right, much to my surprise. This is the kind of law that needs to be put on the books in the rest of the Union.

Another choice quote:

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican government - which filed the suit - plan to take the case "to the Supreme Court and even the UN," warned Perry Pendley of Mountain States Legal Foundation, who represented the voters' interests before the appeals court.

Imagine that, taking it to the Supreme court, which should uphold the Ninth Circuit's ruling, and then going to the UNITED NATIONS? Wow, talk about a complete disregard for the Constitution and our sovereignty. Now, this is the kind of tactics I would expect from the Mexican government, but the ACLU, which purports to support the Constitution (even though we know the truth there)?

I can see it now, the ACLU crying to the U.N. that they don't like our constitution and demanding that it be overturned.
