Mexico acknowledges that it is a sovereign faculty of any state to protect its borders and to enforce its migratory legislation.
That is precisely why the government of Mexico has condemned the activities of civilians guarding the border and stopping undocumented migrants from entering the United States. .......... armed militias, who proclaim that their mission is to ``spot and report'' immigrants, have brought tension along the border, and may even trigger violence. In our view, actions of this kind do not contribute to a long-term solution to the immigration issue and could even endanger the security of our common border. ...... The Mexican government has emphasized that the only way to address the economic, social and security issues on our border is to frame all efforts on the basis of shared responsibility. ......... Today, Mexico and the United States share an unprecedented level of cooperation on security issues, based on information sharing agreements, frequent joint undertakings and fluent intergovernmental communication. The launching of ``OASISS'' (Operation Against Smugglers Initiative on Safety and Security) a month ago is the most recent example of that bilateral approach. This program also includes campaigns in Mexico alerting would-be migrants about the dangers of crossing into the United States by land, and training of migrant rescue crews on both sides of the border. Mexico is concerned that patrolling activities not undertaken by the proper authorities, such as the so-called vigilantes, spark emotional responses precisely at a time when dispassionate discourse and broad perspectives are needed. The real debate should be focused on designing new, realistic, longstanding immigration policies.

Cooperation is a nice idea, but the Mexican government hasn't cooperated with the U.S. in any way, shape, or form on the issue of border security. Also, their record on narcotics trafficing leaves much to be desired.
It takes two nations to cooperate on border patrol.

Is there a contradiction here?
Revoke his credentials, perhaps?
And Mexico, and Mexicans, should be excluded from that debate.
The United States are a free nation - which means that the government is independent, and not subject to the will of other nations or sovereigns. We don't care what they think, and they have no part in our debate - or shouldn't. Especially when it comes to who will live among us!
The government of another country, especially a hostile one, has no business in deciding whether their citizens should be allowed into our country or how we shape our immigration laws.
None. Zero.
The second amendment allows gun ownership for the purpose of maintaining a well regulated militia. It was presumed that a militia would exist. Fox needs to go pound rocks.
For several years Mexico has been saying that if the the US would enact immigration reform, they would do two things.
One, they would allow US interdiction forces to begin operating within Mexico. Proof of this is Mexico's recent announcements regarding acceptance of Perimeter Security.
Two, they would station mexican army units in proximity to the border. According to a recent article posted at FR, a bill authorizing this was introduced into Mexico's Chamber of Deputies.
To charge the "undocumented" migrants an additional "fee"?
He's saying that only the government has the right to enforce the immigration laws.
He's not big into, "By the consent of the governed."
Yes. But, there is a contradiction. One one hand, he says its ok for the Gov to protect borders and on the other he basically advocates breaking our laws by not stopping the un-ending flow of his countrymen (criminals).
He knows the Gov is pro-illegal alien (and will not do their job of protecting our borders).
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
