MEXICO-US: Fox responds with doses of protests & praise
The Mexican government is attempting, from the margins, to influence US immigration policy by carefully weighting its response to legislation and legislative initiatives north of the border. In the past week it announced that it will formally protest against a law allowing the extension of the 'Tortilla Wall' around Tijuana, while praising a measured temporary immigration scheme introduced to both chambers of the US Congress. It has also been keeping uncharacteristically quiet about instances of US nationals committing crimes frequently blamed on Mexicans.
