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.

Those are some nice drug cartels you have there. It would be a shame if they were all blown to hell.
So, Mexico has been invading the US for years, and now the US is trying to stop the invasion and Mexico is mad?
They do.....as long as they’re just passing through to the U.S.
Why is it that Mexicans don’t just make their own country better? I mean, they come over here and act like it’s so great, Mexico. But it it’s so great, what the heck are you doing over here?
Mexico needs to get over itself. It’s not just about them. There are illegals from dozens of countries that use Mexico as a transit point to the US border.
otoh, maybe they will get mad enough to recall their citizens?
Who said that? Mexico or Obama/Holder?
Paging Black Jack Pershing and George Patton .....
When the hell did Mexico EVER cooperate with security or immigration issues?
Send active duty Marines to the border....in large numbers with massive firepower.
I’ve said many times that if Mexicans would put half the energy into fixing their country that they do into destroying ours maybe someday Mexico would be a place Mexicans don’t have to run away from.
Its a good start. Now march them South until the Mexicans and the rest are in Columbia. Build the wall there, it will be a fraction of the cost.
The Mexican government needs a very hard a** kicking.
Not selling us that recycled urine they call beer?
What the heck has Mexico got to say about how we protect our borders? They’re also yelling about NAFTA, that it has been good for them for the past 25 years. If the current NAFTA agreement is such a good deal, why is Mexico still a shithole?
Basically, yes.
In other words, business as usual.
Institute a shoot on sight policy and see how long this nonsense lasts.
A good person doesn't let their dog s#it in their neighbor's yard.
I remember the Alamo.
