The whole "foreign law" thing is a complete lie made up by the
right. The way foreign law actually enters into the deliberations
of judges is that when an an ambiguous provision of US law is
similar to one in foreign law, and no previous case provides
precedent to determine how the law applies to the case at hand,
sometimes rather than just deciding for themselves what
interpretation to use judges will look at arguments made in foreign
cases. Only US statute and precedent is binding on US judges:
foreign cases are relevant only on the strength of their arguments
and only insofar as those arguments are applicable to US law.

The right in this country is wholly depraved, devoid of any
principles either intellectual or ethical; accordingly they're
willing to spread any lie that might be convenient. They claim that
judges take foreign law as applicable to the US, as though the
legislature of one country somehow had authority over another.

Influence via immigrant population would presumably happen as
legislators were aware of foreign law, and used that knowledge in
crafting the best legislation they're able to. That's neither what
is alleged here, nor the truth of what the allegations are about.
