Regarding the Administration’s decision to send 1,200 National Guard servicemen to the US Southern border, the Government of Mexico trusts that this decision will help to channel additional US resources to enhance efforts to prevent the illegal flows of weapons and bulk cash into Mexico, which provide organized crime with its firepower and its ability to corrupt.

Additionally, the Government of Mexico expects that National Guard personnel will strengthen US operations in the fight against transnational organized crime that operates on both sides of our common border and that it will not, in accordance to its legal obligations, conduct activities directly linked to the enforcement of immigration laws.

Mexico is determined to continue working on its side of the border to enhance the security and well-being of border communities, and to deter and dismantle organized crime and its links to drug trafficking and human smuggling.

As part of our joint strategy in the fight against transnational organized crime, there are actions that our two governments have undertaken together, and there are other measures taken independently by Mexico and by the US within their respective territories. In this regard, the Mexican Government fully respects the sovereign decisions of the US Government, but underscores that joint responsibility must continue to underpin our joint efforts in rolling-back transnational organized crime operating on both sides of the border.

I'm trying to find the part of that link where Mexico says the U.S. can't use the national guard on our own border.

Yeah, they seem to be in support of it.

I am glad Adam & Zep commented... I was starting to think I had a serious reading comprehension problem.

It says that if you read it the right way:

"the Government of Mexico [tells the USA not to use the]... National Guard... [on the border].

I think this is what cerb noticed. It is a bit vague in the way it is worded.

That was my take even before reading this: That Mexico would be concerned about the U.S. enforcing immigration law.
