The Mexican government is heavily opposed to the recent surge in state-level legislation targeting illegal immigration, arguing that such efforts are unfair and discriminatory.

The Mexican government has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals, asserting that the laws negatively impact Mexican communities and damage the bilateral relationship. Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador has also urged U.S. citizens not to vote for candidates who support these measures.
