Today, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) officially presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court on implementation of Section 235 (b)(2)(C) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
In accordance with the constitutional principles of our foreign policy, the Government of Mexico does not take a position with regard to the ruling. However, the Foreign Ministry emphasizes that a court ruling of this type is not binding on Mexico and that its immigration policy is designed and executed in a sovereign manner. Consequently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling has no direct implications on how the Government of Mexico manages migration.
In the spirit of meeting the needs of migrants in a humane way given the complex regional situation, the Government of Mexico will start technical discussions with the U.S. Government to evaluate various scenarios for managing orderly, safe and regular migration on our common border.
The Government of Mexico reaffirms its respect for migrants and asylum seekers, in line with our national legislation and in accordance with international law. In addition, Mexico reiterates the importance of addressing the structural causes of migration, including public policies that have an immediate effect on people's living conditions.
