In the wake of President Donald Trump's directive to deploy National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border, senators in Mexico are calling on their government to retaliate by cutting off cooperation on security and immigration issues.
In a nonbinding resolution approved unanimously on Wednesday, senators said they condemned Trump's "baseless and offensive comments about Mexico and Mexicans and demand the treatment that the relationship between neighbors, partners, and allies requires."
Lawmakers rejected "categorically the intention of President Donald Trump to militarize the border with Mexico and consider such action one insult more."
They urged Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto "to suspend the bilateral cooperation with the United States of America on matters of migration and the fight against transnational organized crime as long as President Donald Trump does not conduct himself with the civility and the respect that the people of Mexico deserve."
The motion also called on the US Congress to urge Trump "to direct relations with Mexico on the basis of respect and mutual collaboration" to confront shared challenges and foster prosperity and development.

If Mexico is not in perpetual mortal fear of offending the US, we’re doing something very very very wrong.
Totally agree! Though this action doesn’t authorize our military to take violent action against illegals, there’s nothing wrong with “militarizing the border” when we’re faced with an invasion. Screw the Posse Comitatus nonsense — the Constitution gives the President the power to conduct war.
Just imagine if Trump had 60 or 70 percent of the public behind him and could deal with Mexico as he truly pleased and as they deserve.
The important word being ‘Mexicans’ - this is not their country, so they can be mad all they want.
The USA is the release valve for political and social frustration in the political parties/families that own Mexico so they won’t riot against them.
Lastly the flow of drug money into Mexico is important as the corruption is rampant and Money is too good to pass up.
I say we invade.
Why won’t Mexico operate their southern border the way they demand we operate ours?
...And ban travel by American citizens to Mexico...
Right. Let Mexico join North Korea on a list of countries where US citizens may not travel.
Stuff it up your *** Pepito.
“senators in Mexico are calling on their government to retaliate by cutting off cooperation on security and immigration issues.”
How can you cut off cooperation that doesn’t exist?
Ooooooooo!
“Just imagine if Trump had 60 or 70 percent of the public behind him and could deal with Mexico as he truly pleased and as they deserve.”
And lets’ tell the American a$$holes who go down there for vacation, “don’t bother to call your local American Consulate if the Mexicans f*ck with you. We’ve told them not to take your call you quislings!”
If Trump wants to play hard ball he could declassify documents naming which Mexican senators have been helping hunt down drug cartel thugs.
How about a nice big fat border tax?
Prolly an empty list.
“Cooperation”?
Wow, what a laugh.
More like subversion and backstabbing.
I don’t remember any laws being passed to make America the Mexican welfare program. I know it’s not in the US Constitution or Bill of Rights.
Is Mexico declaring war on the USA via bad mouthing our President?
Helllllllo Mexico,say goodbye to NAFTA,bitches.....
