Wow, a massive third world lawsuit. Imagine if they spent that money on fixing up their worthless countries, maybe everyone wouldn't be leaving them

The U.S. has a whole set of international agreements and treaties that put into writing how the authorities are treat the citizens of another country. It's for the protection of the millions of U.S. citizens that travel abroad as well as foreign nationals in the U.S.. If the laws of a particular state do not coincide with international agreements, then it is the right of the interested parties to go to court to protect their citizens according to international agreements.

This action by Georgia weakens the Sovereignty of the US
and weakens the Federal Government..
The Federal government is the one that sets foreign policy.
not a bunch of"good old Boys" in Atlanta.
The problem is that they put politics before Patriotism.

Those laws are illegal and will soon be abolished!!!
Mexico is paying Obama to guard illegals.

You seem to not know what your government has been doing lately.

This will be a test of the 10th amendment. States have a right to pass laws that do not conflict with any (constitutional law) the Federal government has in place. The Georgia law mirrors the Federal law in most respects. Just because the Federal government refuses to enforce their own laws does not make it illegal for a state to pass and enforce the same laws.

Also; constitutionally any treaty or agreement entered into by the U.S. with any foreign nation without the consent of the governed is illegal.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, includes the Treaty Clause, which empowers the President of the United States to propose and chiefly negotiate agreements between the United States and other countries, which become treaties between the United States and other countries after the advice and consent of a supermajority of the United States Senate.
