From "Building a North American Community"

North America is different from other regions of the world and must find its own cooperative route forward. A new NorthAmerican community should rely more on the market and less on bureaucracy, more on pragmatic solutions to shared problems than on grand schemes of confederation or union, such as those in Europe. We must maintain respect for each other’s national sovereignty.

Although they "claim" they "must maintain respect for each other's national sovereignty," it appears that's not really what they MEAN. For example, that statement contradicts Mexico's actions in this excerpt:

Document translated from Mexican Government website, using Babelfish:
Press release Not. 071
Mexico, D.F., April 29, 2005
THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO REJECTS THE STATEMENTS OF THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, AROUND THE MINUTEMAN PROJECT
The Government of Mexico rejects the statements of the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, around the activities that groups of civilians carry out to stop undocumented people [illegal aliens] on the border between United States and Mexico. It is not through this type of unfortunate pronouncements that a better understanding between our country and the state of California will be achieved.

Though it is sovereign right of any country to take the necessary measures to assure the protection of their borders, Mexico has maintained in repeated occasions that these activities correspond uniquely and exclusively to the competent authorities of the countries. The actions by means of which groups of individuals carry out detentions of Mexican migrants are unacceptable.
It's fitting to emphasize that this year, by initiative of Mexico, the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations Organization approved by consensus a resolution on the rights of migrants [illegal aliens], in which, among others things, presses to the [United] States to adopt effective measures to punish any form of deprivation of the liberty of the migrants [illegal aliens] on the part of individuals [such as the Minutemen] and to prosecute and to punish violations of the law that result from these conducts,.

As has been expressed in previous occasions, Mexico reiterates its commitment to continue working with the authorities of different levels within the U.S. in search of mechanisms that assure that the migration of Mexicans toward United States is legal, sure, ordinate and respectful of their rights.
