This week’s Chutzpah Award goes to the government of Mexico, which is threatening to bring lawsuits against the U.S.—in our own courts—for enforcing American immigration laws:

Mexico warned Tuesday it would file lawsuits in U.S. courts if National Guard troops detain migrants on the border [...]

“If there is a real wave of rights abuses, if we see the National Guard starting to directly participate in detaining people ... we would immediately start filing lawsuits through our consulates,” Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez said in an interview with a Mexico City radio station.

Perhaps the Mexican government should instead focus on reforming their economy so Mexican citizens don’t feel driven to flee the country as if it were a burning building.
