The Government of Mexico, through the Secretary of Foreign Affairs (SRE), condemned the entry into force of the SB4 law in Texas, which, he said, seeks to stop the flow of migrants by criminalizing them, encouraging the separation of families, discrimination and racial profiling that violate the human rights of the migrant community.
In a statement, the Mexican government reminded the Texan government that it categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control, detain and return national or foreign persons to Mexican territory.
My question also concerns legal provisions that affect the human rights of the more than 10 million people of Mexican origin residing in Texas, creating hostile environments in which the migrant community is exposed to expressions of hate, discrimination and racial profiling.
In response, Mico reiterated its legitimate right to protect the rights of its nationals in the United States and to establish its own policies regarding the entry of its territory.
