So we should expel Mexico's diplomatic delegation? I am not really sure what you mean by "Mexico does not need to be here."

There should be no need to explain why you are here illegally and why you should stay over someone who has legally entered. There should be no need for an Mexican referee to tell us how we should play by our rules
Well the first sentence doesn't really have anything to do with this issue specifically. As for the 2nd, I agree, it would be nice if law enforcement and the rest of the judicial system followed the rules, but sometimes people need reminding, apparently.

Simple...they don't believe we're a sovereign nation with the right to make (and enforce) its own laws.

You just answered your own question. Yes, the person is asking why are they allowed to speak. Common sense tells us that those who are diplomats from Mexico are allowed to come to the United States if they do it the way they are supposed to. But, the question being asked is not that. The question is why are we entertaining them in our courts? It really is a question to be asked. The U.S. needs to grow a backbone against Mexico, but with our relationship with Mexico and NAFTA, there is not much motivation to.

I guess you would prefer if all mexicans, legal or otherwise, were afforded zero protection under the law?
MILLIONS of illegal aliens would be deported. Illegal aliens are lawbrakers and they do have some rights.

how are they meddling?

They aren't making laws. They're offering a viewpoint and opinion.

What is "the way they are supposed to" do it? Are they not "supposed to" be aware of the laws in the US?

As to why they are being entertained in US courts, why shouldn't they be? Are they saying anything that is to your knowledge factually inaccurate?

Or is it that you just don't like what they're saying so you're looking for any excuse to have them silenced?

Why are they not here for other laws besides immigration?

Mexicans hold perspectives on lots of laws. Just like real people!

But they obviously are personally affected by immigration laws quite a bit, so they are more active in that arena.
