The government of Mexico made it very clear that it will no accept any migrants expelled under the new law allowed to take effect by the Supreme Court that permits the state government of Mexico to make immigration determinations and force people out of the US. Fewer than half of the people crossing the southern border come from Mexico, and expelling them to Mexico would require Mexico to either house them or transport them to their home nations.
“As stated since the law was debated in the Texas legislature last year, Mexico categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control, and to arrest and return nationals or foreigners to Mexican territory,” the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, adding “Mexico reiterates its legitimate right to protect the rights of its nationals in the United States and to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory.
“Mexico recognizes the importance of a uniform migration policy and the bilateral efforts with the United States to ensure that migration is safe, orderly and respectful of human rights, and is not affected by state or local legislative decisions. In this regard, Mexico will not accept, under any circumstances, repatriations by the State of Texas.”
