Mexico\u2019s Senate issued a stern rebuke to US President Donald Trump on Wednesday, urging its government to end cooperation with the United States on migration and security over Trump\u2019s plans to deploy the National Guard along their shared border.<\/p>\n
In a motion which passed the Senate floor unanimously, the lawmakers also condemned Trump\u2019s aggressive rhetoric toward Mexico, describing the president\u2019s decision this week to send troops to the border as \u201cone more insult.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c(Trump\u2019s) conduct has been permanently and systematically, not only disrespectful, but insulting, based on prejudices and misinformation and making frequent use of threats and blackmail,\u201d Laura Rojas, the head of the Senate\u2019s foreign relations committee, said in support of the motion.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration is working with four southwestern U.S. states to deploy the Guard troops, who will not be involved in law enforcement, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has said.<\/p>\n
The Mexican Senate\u2019s resolution is non-binding and unlikely to trigger policy changes.<\/p>\n
After the motion passed, the Mexican foreign ministry issued a statement saying it would maintain close contact with the US Homeland Security Department about its plans for the border.<\/p>\n
Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray discussed the situation with Nielsen, the ministry said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn all communications on the matter, Mexico\u2019s government has informed the government of the United States that if the announced deployment of the National Guard turned into a militarization of the border, that would gravely damage the bilateral relationship,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
The Trump administration\u2019s announcement was also condemned by the front-runner to win the Mexican presidency in a July 1 election, leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo to the militarization of the border, no to the wall,\u201d Lopez Obrador wrote in a post on Twitter. \u201cYes to mutual respect and cooperation for development.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jose Antonio Meade, the candidate of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, urged candidates to stand together in denouncing the deployment of troops on the border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
