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.

Yeah, we agree, but that's not a one-way street. You have to treat us with proper respect as well. Stopping that human caravan of Hondurans using your country as an illegal civil invasion route into the USA was a good start.
Oh yeah... we're starting to build the wall. Better start saving your pesos, Mexico will be paying for it, one way or another.
Effe the wetbacks! ...
The response to this is to just say that we’re only following mexico’s lead with their southern border.
Posse Comitatus has nothing to do with protecting our border. That is a legitimate military function.
Why are they so angry at us, because their country sucks so much that people want to leave?
Are they going to go to the sun in the noche?
Keep up the good work!
It's open season ALL the time for them folks!
“the mexicans strike back”
wasnt that a star wars movie?
Trouble is there are domestic producers with busy manufacturing plants in the north of Mexico, so this can’t really be an instantaneous move.
One would think corporate boardrooms are tense with strategy sessions on relocating those operations north of the border, but the larger ones represents multi-million dollar undertakings.
It’s not gonna happen overnight.
Meanwhile, one had to hope that none of those facilities become targets of politically motivated hostility. Yeah, it’s MOSTLY Mexican citizens working at those plants, but they are icons of American industry with the names of big American companies on them. They sorta stand out.
This whole situation is tense. Trump is playing the right cards, and Mexico is responding badly. We’re going to have to thread the needle to avoid bloodshed. I think it can be done, and Trump isn’t escalating wildly, but cool heads must prevail south of the border.
High time for Mexico to own it’s s#!t and act accordingly, but this latest out of their Senate gives little hope that they’re even thinking that direction at all. They sound like welfare queens blaming their whole situation on everyone and everything EXCEPT themselves.
WAAAAAAA!!!
The only time we have peace is after we have ground them into the dirt again.
I’d turn off the foreign aid faucet and set up a blockade as fast as you could say Taco Bell. Game on!
Empty our prisons into Acapulco.
The issue, in my mind, is what will the National Guard do on the border? I hope that they shoot sex and drug traffickers but I fear since there are less that 4000 ( equating to on two per mile) that they will do what they did for bush and obozo—that is, they will do paper work for catch and release. I am not that impressed.
Not only that. Deport ALL illegal aliens to Mexico, no matter where they originally came from.
And while we’re at it....take the river. Put the wall on the other side and annex a half mile of Mexico.
Screw em!
Pancho Via and “Blackjack” Pershing all over again???
What cooperation?
The elite white Spanish rulers of Mexico have meddled and interfered in our politics/elections to send their poor brown skin people to America to work, get health care and make money to send back to Mexico.
Last but not least Americans are the primary targets of the drug cartels in Mexico.
The so called Russia/Russia meddling claims are basically a distraction from waking up more Americans to who the real dangerous meddlers in America are, the elite white rulers of Mexico.
Good luck with that idea...they are to lazy and corrupt to do anything. A country like Mexico with vast natural resources, rich ancient history, beautiful sea resorts and a fantastic climate to be in this rotten shape and neighboring the USA,... I will blame it's people and their corrupt government.
The people of Mexico should look inward and to themselves for answers. Whining, pissing, and moaning about the big, bad Ol' Uncle Sam is not going to fix their problem. They should get off their lazy asses, pull up the boots and do the right thing.
Our fore fathers spent blood,sweat and tears making this great country of ours. They should do the same and all others who are trying to invade our land, under the mantra, that we are so rich and they have noting and therefore we owe them. I am so sick and tired of those leeches coming to our country, demanding things they never worked for.
