Legislative and Public Response
President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico condemned a Trump administration ad campaign discouraging undocumented migration as "discriminatory" and vowed to legislate against such commercials.
The Mexican government, receiving numerous complaints, urged broadcasters to remove the ad, which it claimed violated human dignity and could incite violence against migrants.
International and Political Reactions
The ad campaign, costing $200 million over two years, has been criticized for its political messaging and high expenditure amidst cuts to federal funding and jobs.
Despite efforts to appease Trump on migration, the ad's discriminatory nature has united Mexican politicians against it, with Congress moving to ban such foreign propaganda.
